They are some of the biggest names in the Republican national security firmament, veterans of past GOP administrations who say, if called upon by President-elect Donald Trump, they stand ready to serve their country again.
But their phones arent ringing. Their entreaties to Trump Tower in New York have mostly gone unanswered. In Trump world, these establishment all-stars say they are PNG personae non gratae.
Their transgression was signing one or both of two public Never Trump letters during the campaign, declaring they would not vote for Trump and calling his candidacy a danger to the nation.
...
During a national security forum last week at the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington, K.T. McFarland, who was named Trumps deputy national security adviser, opened her remarks by referring to the elephant in the room.
Most of the people in this room didnt support Donald Trump maybe not at first or maybe ever, she said. And I suspect most of the people in this room didnt think hed win. But he has.
Some of the Never Trump letters signers fear they are at the bottom of the pecking order, below those who expressed verbal opposition to Trumps campaign but did not sign either of the letters.

These 16 yrs will pass like a flash and the banished 122 will be back in the game.
Like that idea. And Trump has a perfectly good reason aside from their treachery. They have been wrong way too much!
It’s amazing that the Never Trumpers have the kind of arrogance which lets them expect an administration job even after openly expressing their hatred for the man who will be our next President. Eff them! They are the kind who would take a job in the administration, then leak all kinds of rotten BS to the media at the first opportunity. Again...eff them!
They are traitors to us. Besides, why pack the administration with a bunch of leaky scumbags when we have enough of those in congress to do the Never Trumpers dirty work. Washington is awash in scumbags. We need fresh clean folks to come drain that swamp.
And I am sure we as a country are safer and better off without any of these has-beens and losers.

They EXPOSED themselves as bad actors.....why in the WORLD would Trump hire them??
Chertoff is a LOSER....he had Hilliary in a SNARE years ago, and he let her slip away! He’s always been a disappointment.
It’s a question of trust and they have shown they can not be trusted, why would they be called on.
Thank you, President Trump.
These are the Bushie/fake-conservative globalists who should be shut out. How convenient that they self-identified so clearly before the election.
No one black listed anyone; they only cut themselves out, displaying bad judgement, bad ethics, disloyalty, and dozens of other bad qualities.
What a stupid article!
Use some common sense: As an employer would you hire those who would want to sabotage your business? Hire those who hate you? Hire those who would do anything to belittle your business or productivity? Hire those who actually hate you so much that they would do everything they could to have your competition destroy you?
Trump is a very successful businessman and he does not hire “losers.” He knows that it’s stupid to manufacture your own problems by hiring problems.
It’s good to see the “gnashing of the teeth and the pulling of the hair” by those losers who now cry “foul” when they are not included in his plans.
BBBBBuuuuhahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Let’s see, I sign a “Never Trump” petition and now he won’t talk to me?
DDDDDDDDDuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Rock stupid right there... Yep! The definition of rock stupid!
Well, these scumbags were THE PROBLEM to begin with. We got sick of having a fake opposition party and replaced them. They should all retire.
Go Trump!
When you are pond scum and the swamp is being drained you are not floating on the top anymore. :-)
They need to pack up and leave with all the other democrats.
OK, the RINOs who wanted nothing to do with Trump is now worried about not talking to him? Boohoo... you wanted Hillary you asswipes, THE VOTERS WANT TO DRAIN THE SWAMP, which includes you RINOs!
