Interesting idea. It would be a first.
That’s cool. Good job, whoever put that together.
That’s pretty good. A few tweaks. .. who is DOJ and get rid of the Dept. Of Education.
OUTDAMNSTANDING
If Mark Levin isn’t interested in AG, I’d pick Rudy Giuliani!
“If I were Ted Cruz...I would make it so!”
However, the psychological makeup of candidates who have run or will run for the highest office in the land really obviates them from taking most bureacratic/administrative-type jobs.
A famous WW1 ditty was "How Are Ya Gonna Hold Them Down on the Farm After They've Seen Paree", referring, of course, to the mostly provincial doughboys who went overseas to fight. Same thing applies to politicians.....once they've caught the excitement, attention and glamor of big-league presidential candidacies, they only want to go once more around to snatch the brass ring, or, if not possible, go for nothing any more except equally challenging roles which keep them in the public eye.
The exceptions to the general rule is the lure of being Secretary of State and (perhaps, but only perhaps) Secretary of Defense, two appointment offices with cachet conducive to personal achievement, satisfaction rewards and possible public acclain.
I could just see Sarah Palin tied down to a cabinet post at the Energy Department....a mostly admininistrative/PR desk job with little to no excitement, challenge and glamor....a job which would never satify high achievers.
With a presidential cabinet, diplomatic or high administrative appointment, you fall into a political black hole and no one gives a dang about you anymore. You're off the front pages, except for rare occasions like a scandal or a murder in the hallway....and political major league players know appointive oblivion when they see it.
Making a list of a President Cruz appointments is great fun....but a waste of creativity. They're not gonna happen.
This is not knocking the egos of presidential aspirants.....well-directed egos and confidence is what made them who they are....and it's a marvelous and desirable American trait. I'd hate to see the Palins, Carsons, Levins, Boltons, etc. buried in appointed dead-end administrative posts with their inspired messages, speeches and TV comments/analysis lost to us forever.
How many names of current cabinet appointees does anyone know, anyhow....only a couple, I'm sure, out of the many.
But, not to worry, none of the proposed appointees in the pictured cartoon panel above will end up as Secretary of Anything.....or Ambassador to Anywhere.....unless they're broke or aging or really need an enhanced pension.
And it's fine with me if they don't accept some nothing-ball appointment....we need these talented conservatives speaking for us in the great battle we're in.....and not exiled or buried in the murky corners of Washington cabinets and bureaus no matter how high-sounding the Title.
