He’s 70 years old. He’s not going to be around forever. He’s created a political movement and he’s going to need to hand over the reigns at some point.

I hope this does not turn into a Bush or Clinton dynasty. they will go down in corruption and nepotism as they all do. Not in favor of that.

Am totally supportive of 2 terms of Trump but anything more and it becomes corruption.

You mean like his claim that he was going to run the South in the Bible Belt after winning Iowa?

He proceeded on not winning one single state in the South.

Here's a map as of April 28th, 2016

Trump purple. Cruz green.

The correct choice for Press Secretary is obvious: Ann Coulter.

Seems like the entire point of this NYT articles is to scream that Trump’s kids are on the panel. So what!? It is not a government appointment. No nepotism. They are his business partners (Don and Ivanka), they are highly educated and old enough to know better, they know what he wants and expects. F the NYT and Media!

Is that even possible? I can see appointing a new chief justice but the justices themselves are lifers.

LOL NOT Ted he’s proven himself unethical among other dishonest traits.

I hope he doesn’t even get reelected let alone any other governmental position.

Exactly. Trump knows his adult children will always have his best interest at heart. Good move.

probably, but not at this moment. Let him get the big things figured out.

My guess is she will intern or whatever the proper term is - watch whats going on and grow along with the next 4 years of Trump in DC.

yeah, Christie has flaws for sure, but he stuck his next out for Donald on a number of occasions.

Hopefully all of Obama’s Czars will be fired on day 1 and NOT replaced.

Yes, I was surprised he did not win even one southern state. Even in SC, not even one county did he win, even in the most conservative area of the Upstate. So glad Mr. Trump won!

Wonder if homosexuals will stop crying, “The end is here,” when he appoints Thiel.

Yup. The Don has his kids involved (temporarily).

The kids will see politics first hand and how the games are played. They can report back to Dad the good, bad, ugly.

Ummm,,, when is he going to pledge his support for Trump directly. He skated at the convention. He tried to sand-bag Carson twice. He’s lied repeatedly on tv. Those are credentials for a SCOTUS.

Unfortunately, there are still a lot of people with their heads buried in the sand about Cruz’ unethical behavior during the primaries.

Do your research dating back to Iowa last winter re Dr. Carson.
