One of the most important criteria in hiring is loyalty and they exhibited just the opposite.
What the Establishment Republicans, especially the leadership, did to Trump was one of the biggest betrayals in all of history.
It is unconscionable what they did. They were throwing the election. They were paving the way for Hillary and a whole different world of far-Left-wing government.
Trump should treat them like the bunch of skunks and evil, slimy snakes that they are.
What the frick do they expect?
.
if he can get past what mitt romney said during the campaign and consider working with him, he can get past anything anyone said about him during the campaign.
Cue Boo-Hoo Girl and all together now.....”Awwww, bless your heart!”
If anyone still has doubts. This is what it look like to not be the establishment anymore. We are the establishment. Trump is the establishment. Keep moving forward everyone, from the city councils, the school boards, the states, and the national levels.
They did their best to help Trump's enemies, made it harder for him to win.
Do they believe they are indispensable?
Don't call us, we'll call you.
They underestimated Trump.
That’s where they should be - blacklisted. With the establishment against him, he needs people who will support him. They were willing to toss our country to Hillary, and I assume they thought they’d get a job with her. Epic fail. Elections have consequences.
What bothers me is that the think tanks these people work for still have OTHER staffers in the running for posts in the Trump organization. I would also blacklist anybody from any organization these letter signers are involved with.
People like Tom Ridge are obviously going to have influence with the people around them, and I don’t want him and his anti-Trump attitudes tainting people in the administration or trying to be puppet masters.
You make your nest...
"What did they expect?" is right.
Idiots.
“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.”
Those drained from the swamp trying to swim back in are surprised that they can’t? Good riddance,
The people who irritated me the most on election night coverage were the ‘never Trumper’s’ who boasted about not voting for Trump.
How did they earn that name? Was it strategic and political perspicacity - special insights into the organization of world affairs or the correlation of forces (a communist strategic term) to enable them to render advice and judgments on how to dispose of issues?
Obviously not. They underrated Trump and over-rated themselves, such is their talent for "estimates" as Sun Tzu uses the term. They over-rated the forces of immigration and underrated the interests of the American citizen.
One suspects that these "leading lights" are just more of the same, folks who have ended up doing well while doing nothing much at all, just going to the establishment parties and mooching off the taxpayer.
Republicans Who Screwed Trump Puzzled:
"Why Hasn't He Offered Us Jobs?" 
I know, let’s hold a telethon for them!
They have earned the right to not even be in the order. Their names are not even in the hat.
And, deservedly so.
Faithless as wholes.
It’s not like they did a great job when they had a chance, and I don’t see why Trump would want them in the first place. To paraphrase Cromwell, “Get out here. You been around too long for any good you might have done.”
Yeah, like the Washington Post cares about these people now?
And, fact of the matter is Trump’s cabinet is full of “never Trump National Security Republicans”.
Prince Rebus is Chief of Staff.
Rick Perry called Trump a cancer on the Republican Party.
More fake news.
As far as I am concerned, you never-Trumpers are dead.
Trump made the right choice - he doesn’t need this bunch.
