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.

He who has the gold makes the rules.
To the victor, etc, etc...
As well they should be.
After the letter they signed onto, they should have expected it.
Chertoff is a jerkoff.
I hope he loses more than his shirt.
He had illegal aliens working at his house while he was Secretary of Homeland Security.
They FEAR they’ve been blacklisted? No need to fear. COUNT on it, you duplicitous, myopic pricks! You bet on the wrong horse, and now you get to watch as the winners go to the cash window.
Boy, I hope the Washington Post for once is accurate.
Having a corrupt, globalist, left leaning CIA is worse than not having one at all. Same with the State Dept.
I only have one word, “good.”
They just keep making up news.
Schadenboner.
I has one.

The WAPO cries alligator tears for them.........
Indeed. Their side lost the election. They are not going to get picked.
But they are ‘entitled’ to those jobs.
Nah, they’ll make a fine living as “experts” trashing Trump on fake news shows.
Payback is a bitch. McDonald’s is hiring

I thought you invented that term. In any case thanks for sharing it.
schadenboner
Taking really, REALLY immense delight in the misfortune of some loathesome person-like creature. Well beyond garden-variety schadenfreude, a case of schadenboner lasting beyond four hours means the tumescent owner must seek medical attention.
The final exposure of Dan Rather as a failsh*t partisan back in 2004 gave me a 3-hour schadenboner..at least.
Is that, uh, kind of like what happened to me as a public school teacher? See how it feels now? Shut up.
Ha ha ha ha eat crap and die you quisling scumbags.
