“U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is expected to pick U.S. Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a strong advocate of increased oil and gas development who is skeptical about climate change, to run the Department of the Interior, sources briefed on the matter told Reuters on Friday”

What’s not conservative about her you say?

That’s how I judge it. Like the EPA pick, if the libs scream bloody murder then I know it’s a fantastic pick.

I hope this person believes in opening up federal land for drilling.

while Governor Palin certainly could have been Sec of Interior... she could also serve in a number of other posts.

we do not have reason to believe DJT has “shunned” her...at least not yet

It’s not.
She is the female Eric Cantor.
A John Boehner protégé.

“I’m not sure how she feels about it, but to me Governor Palin is more valuable as an independent voice outside of any government structure.

Any President needs to have their actions examined to make sure they are representing the American people; Sarah has shown she’s unafraid to challenge the status quo no matter which party is in power.

Plus, she has a special needs child that requires constant attention. I think she’ll stay in Alaska.”

HEAR!
HEAR!

So he didn’t “shun” Brewer or Hamm or Lucas, but he did “shun” Palin? OK.

Good, then this gets her out of the House and into taking orders from Trump.

I’d like to see Jan Brewer in the administration. Illegal immigration.

Was hoping for Sarah Palin. Rodgers Conservative Review scorecard is an F and a Liberty Score of 41%, Info Here. Didn't know she scored that low. FWIW, all the Washington State Reps and Senators get an F. She is the best of the lot at Liberty Score of 41%. Patty Murray at the bottom with 2%.

I notice none of the rumored “celebrity” cabinet candidates are coming through; Palin, Giuliani, Newt, David Clark. I like that.

No one can say it was a shun. Who knows if she even wanted a DC job?

I agree. Sarah can advise from the outside, the way Newt will probably be doing. I’ve said it for over the last two years; Sarah seems far more wound up and shrill in her delivery than before. I see fewer times when she uses a more relaxed, more coherent delivery, free of quips, non sequiter axioms and thinly veiled sarcasm.

I value her point of view, but Sarah has been through 50 Shades of Media Hell since 2008. Very few of us have any inkling what that feels like. George Zimmerman, Basseley Nakoula (Innocence of Muslims director) Eric Snowden, Officer Darren Wilson (Hands Up, Dont Shoot arresting Officer), all have a good idea of what it feels like when the media and most folks in your home country turn against you, all based on lies.
