“The proof that she’s a BAD NEWS Globalist, open border FOREIGNER...”

You might want to breathe. She’s Secretary of TRANSPORTATION. Exactly what in the Wide Wide World of Sports does the Transportation Secretary have to do with border security or immigration policy?

Hint: Not one damned thing.

YES. PALIN belongs in that mix. No one has been dragged
through the Couric pile any more than SARAH PALIN.

Exquisite liberal head explosions all around. Sarah will do
a good job of anything she is asked to do.

Oh please.

This person is a mental head case, that doesn’t even make a coherent point. Just another one of FR’s conspiracy nuts shooting off on nothing but their over active imaginations, and addiction to tinfoil.

“I can play the name calling game too, but way better than you. Capiche?”

Oooh. Look at me shake...

Yes, Ben Carson accepted.

There was a lot of speculation and uncertainty for a while with contradictory news reports, but at the end all agreed that he did indeed accept.

I guess he likes his burgers. I saw the other day he took the fam to the 21 club to celebrate the victory and ordered a burger.

You're calling AuntB a mental case? Conspiracy nut? Tin foil?

Have you been asleep?

Tell me, were the conspiracy nuts wrong about the globalist? Were they wrong about the U.S. government aiding and abetting this epic decades long invasion and chain immigration policies where they're literally importing mass murdering terrorist? Were the conspiracy nuts all wrong about the media and this government being totally corrupt from top to bottom, so bad it's now changed our history and all but bankrupted our country?

Conspiracy nuts? Really? Sounds like they played you like a fiddle.

Yeah this pick and some of his rumored picks are starting to worry me. He doesn’t have to kiss McConnnell’s ass he needs to be kissing Trumps! He got the mandate not that turtle-headed ass.

Still, I’m still going to sleep better at night just knowing Sessions is running the DOJ.

Someone that gets that worked up at the transportation secretary nominee is a loon. So yes.

I’m putting what’s going on here together in my mind. Trump hired Mitch McConnell’s wife Elaine as Sec. of Transportation as the price of getting his legislative agenda through the Senate smoothly.

He is doing the same deal making with Paul Ryan, in order to get his legislative agenda through the House, and the price he is paying for that is hiring Mitt Romney, Ryan’s good buddy and former running mate during the last presidential election, as Secretary of State.

So, it won’t surprise me at all if Trump goes ahead and nominates Romney for SOS as part of what he feels is necessary to ease his legislative agenda through both Houses of Congress, thus placating both McConnell and Ryan with something both of them want. The Art of the Deal. I just smell deal making going on here big-time behind the scenes. We will find out soon enough.

Good analysis. I had been thinking similarly, but you added some points I had not considered.

That’s what I was thinking too.

I don’t like it, but if it gets the Trump agenda passed, I’ll manage.

Worked up? You're the one who came on here and got so worked up ya started calling AuntB all kinds of names. So WTF are you talking about? I'd say you're projecting.

And who would I think is the odd person here?

A person who'd rather avoid someone with questionable connections and leans left, or someone like you who doesn't see anything wrong with that choice being part a leadership team? Hmmm.
