Ken Blackwell, the Ohio Republican selected by President-Elect Donald Trump to lead his domestic issues transition is an outspoken conservative with a history as a party maverick.
Blackwell, according to a document obtained by Politico, is in charge of the Trump "action team" examining the departments of energy, environmental protection, labor, transportation, health and human services, housing and urban development, interior and agriculture.
Blackwell backed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the Republican primaries, but came aboard with Trump after he secured the nomination.
Reached by The Cincinnati Enquirer, Blackwell said he could not discuss his duties because he had signed a non-disclosure agreement.
Blackwell is familiar to Ohioans. He prevailed in an intra-party feud in 2006 to become Ohio's first black nominee for governor, but then lost in a lopsided race with Democrat Ted Strickland.

Good luck. We need a whole slew of Freepers in the Trump administration!
“Oh Gee! I was expecting that Krazy Kasich to be an integral part! Damn! /s”
ROTFLOL!
BTW, was the sarc tag REALLY necessary on this one?
The only knock on Ken Blackwell is that he’s never been a great campaigner. He is too principled and outspoken to ever get elected to high office save in a solidly conservative state.
But as a policy wonk, he is top tier. IOW, exactly the type of people whom Trump needs to help implement his agenda.
You owe an apology to all hardworking janitors.
Seems like a very good news.
Meanwhile, the clowns at National Review continue to operate far from reality:

My kind of conservative.
Blackwell should have been the governor instead of Buckeye Kasich.
If the Trumps have any dogs that is.

Wednesday morning a bunch of wailing Lefties reported seeing Trump’s favorite pussy (cat) in a cage on the top of his mini-van.
That’ll work. John Kasich can clean out the litter pan every day.
He should be able to make this a much simpler list when Energy, EPA, HUD, and Education are eliminated. There may be others :)

Trump’s always thinking of all the ramifications of every decision, and this appointment is a great example. Because when Blackwell moves to clean up these bureaucratic nightmares, the Blacks thrown off the gravy train will be forced to attack one of their own. I wonder if all those Grifters will accuse him of being a racist?
Uncle tom of course
