Top Republican political leaders aren’t the only ones shunning their party’s presidential nominee — a vast number of highly skilled managers and policy experts, veterans of recent GOP administrations who would normally be expected to fill key positions for a new White House, are also vowing to sit out a Donald Trump presidency. And while the failure of the two Presidents Bush or House Speaker Paul Ryan to endorse the presumptive nominee carries political consequences, the absence of policy veterans in a new administration would have a substantive effect on the running of government.ok

Sounds like another load of b/s. He hasn’t won the nomination yet, selected a running mate, or been elected for that matter. Maybe it’s just a mistake and it’s really Cruz who is working on a cabinet. That sounds more accurate. Especially since he already has his VP!

Take a look around. Those are EXACTLY the people Voters want fired by the next Administration. 40 years of disaster and destruction from these people is enough.

Poetic justice demands that Trump win and all of these “experts”, wonks and academic types get to sit back and spectate (i.e., sharpshoot) the Trump administration for eight years. They remind me why I have been a patriot and conservative, but not a partisan, for years.

This is a good thing

We will know that the people who do serve are there for America and the people

Not for their own ego and power trips

anyone who doesn’t want to serve the President WE elect- BUH BYE.

Private industry awaits your talents

Their time has passed, they just don’t realize it yet.

We’re building a new coalition. By volunteering not to be part of it, they are marginalizing themselves. In the future they will be no more influential than the Green or Libertarian parties.

They shall be: full of sound and fury, yet accomplish nothing.

I was struck that this, like Paul Ryan’s recent moves, is another PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE move.

PA is trying to exert power form a position of weakness. “Do things our way, or we’ll take our ball and go home.” They hope you’ll buckle before you realize that you no longer need their ball to play.
