Exclusive: Trump says he is looking at 10 or 12 candidates for chief of staff job
R ^ | December 11, 2018 | Steve Holland and Roberta Rampton

Posted on 12/11/2018 7:32:53 PM PST by conservative98

"I have at least 10, 12 - 12 people that want it badly. I'm making a decision. Great people," he said. "I could do it immediately. I'm in no rush. A lot of people want it."

Trump said one candidate, North Carolina Republican Representative Mark Meadows, "is a great guy," as is former campaign adviser Dave Bossie, who is also on the list - "friend of mine." But he gave no indication who he was leaning toward.

"Everybody wants it. Who doesn't want to be one of the top few people in Washington, D.C.," Trump said, gesturing to the three reporters interviewing him. "I mean, you three guys would take it."

I’ll do it. Just expenses. But, I can pretty much guarantee that ‘they’ will REALLY dislike me.

Please not Mark Meadows. We can’t afford to lose another seat like we lost in Sessions empty seat that was stolen by a Dem.

Save Newt for the second term and a Republican controlled Congress.

Mark Meadows? Surprised to see his name. I would prefer having him in Congress although I could see some good from having a conservative as CoS.

I think Trump and Meadows might get along pretty well together.

The posted link goes, I don’t know why, through Google and all the implies. Here’s a direct link to Reuters:

I think I might be in the running for this job.

You never know.....I just might be.

I have lots of stuff.

I’m as much of an Indian as Paleface Lizzy Warren, so I could be a chief.

Chief of Stuff.

What?

An “a”?

I was probably overqualified anyway.

If Meadows is otherwise competent for the job, he would be great and certainly loyal to the President and the plan.

Jeb Bush.

That would be a shock; he should consult Jeb Bush for advice though, as well as Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

Only if his replacement were as conservative as he. And since North Carolina governor is a Democrat, that’s a giant NO!

He needs somebody that can match his energy level on 4 hours sleep a night. A tough job will require a tough SOB. Sarah H Sanders may be up to it. She’s a great lady but the kids kill that idea. Michelle Maulkin would also be a butt kicker. Rush Limbaugh wouldn’t do it but could. Jonathan Gillum ex navy seal might be able to do two years. He needs someone to help him get re-elected and run the staff with total discipline. No leaks. Gonna be hard to find a great candidate he can trust. He needs an energetic ax murderer that everyone but Dems and leakers like

You got to be kidding, the aforementioned never trumpers have done nothing, zip, zero, nada, for the benefit of the USA.
