Benjamin Franklin Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Starting to take place. Priebus is first as Trump's Chief of Staff. State leading name in Gingrich, which is interesting since he's a free trader and for a path to citizenship for illegals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest currently under discussion are par for the course, really. But Bannon is not someone I want my president aligned with. Especially a president without a firm moral compass.

Hopefully he doesn't have much sway and it's just a job title. Bannon's aiming to be Trump's Karl Rove. Trump is thin-skinned and maybe the backlash on that choice will get him to minimize his role. He'll probably not last long. The anti-Jew stories are already coming out. He's a skinhead like Ozy, has admitted that Brietbart is the site for all things Alt-Right, and if the press is eager to attack Trump right out of the gate, he's the guy to go after.

Dorkington Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Story coming out of WSJ today is that Trump didn't realize the duties of the POTUS until his meeting with Obama, and that Obama will be more hands on than past Presidents have been during the transition. Also Trump's team didn't realize they'd have to be hiring all new White House staff. How did we get here?

I'd like to add Joe Arpaio to the "kook" list. I wouldn't necessarily consider Arpaio a kook...just someone who's not qualified for anything above "podunk Sheriff." Likewise, Palin...DOI might be something she's actually qualified for, given her governorship of AK and resultant experience with a good many DOI issues. You may not agree with the idea - I'm not sure I do - but it's not "kooky." (Not like something like "Secretary of the Treasury Sarah Palin" would be.)

Also Trump's team didn't realize they'd have to be hiring all new White House staff. How did we get here?
