SEVERAL picks so far. LOTS of speculation and misinformation along the way
This week the country loudly let the PEOTUS know mittens was not on most favored list. Trump let the media know they were NOT on his most favored list. A snark designer who helped keep MO tacky advised other designers to stay away from Melania professionally. We ate too much probably on Thanksgiving and we possibly weren't appreciative enough of the blessings in this life.
Interesting article, I imagine there are many more depts besides the State depts that need major overhauls..........
Is there a position for National Intelligence that has not been filled??
Branstad - Agriculture? Think I heard that mentioned some time ago
Hensarling was up for Commerce Sect’y but that position as was the Deputy Sect’y position (not sure if there’s more than 1) were filled yesterday and today. There are 11 Ass’t Secretaries in this agency, so perhaps one of those or something under Treasury?
Ryan and Mitch - probably just planning and touch base meetings
Comment up thread on Condi
Thanks for this background......

I agree!
Pelosi wins. 134-63. Live next on @CNN

Nancy “King George” Pelosi stays in charge of the battle against the American Revolution!
Flynn has Nat’l Security, but I don’t think any of the National Intelligence positions have been filled except CIA (Rep Mike Pompeo) (this is what I’ve been able to come up with so far):
Intelligence Community Director (currently held by Clapper)
Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence
Director of the National Counterterrorism Center
Director of the National Counterproliferation Center
Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (currently held by Brennan)
The AT article was a good read.
Sweeping changes and entire departments eliminated or reorganized in the State Dept. are long overdue. Drain the swamp. AMEN!
I implicitly trust DJT’s instincts.
Pool of possible SOS candidates-
Giuliani
Romney
Petraeus
Corker
Other ?
**I implicitly trust DJTs instincts.**
Absolutely.
Thanks SC, looks like there are many more positions to be filled. Wonder if Trump will be influenced by the heads of these depts with regard to the lower level appointments..
So when do the riots, looting and burning down the city start?

What a relief. I was worried they had learned from the elections & might be competitive and cohesive again.

Soon, I would imagine, unless the weather is not comfortable for them!!
Haa!!
Bolton was up for SoS, but haven’t heard any more about him. When Fox mentioned 4 finalists, they included Corker but not Bolton. Not sure if that was an oversight or???
