The “Sessions for AG” buzz seems to be building as “Sessions for Sec. of Defense” buzz dies down:

Sessions and especially Giuliani could easily fail in the Senate; Flynn too if that office requires Senate confirmation.

NSA is a direct hire of the President, no need for confirmation.

would be a very shrewd move.

and gives me the feeling trump doesn't want to govern and let other people do the heavy lifting.


don't forget...this is mister anti-russia.

Ugh, can't we have Bolton or Giuliani instead? T_T That could have been the one redeeming feature of a Trump presidency...

NBC's source is bullsh**tting them. No way Trump's going to have Mitt in his administration

Are you suggesting that Mitt Romney's political positions and personal convictions might be flexible and up for negotiation? That is shocking news. Just shocking.

Romney would actually be a pretty good choice for a cabinet post, depending on what it is.

LOL, same as Rudy. These guys have ZERO experience in foreign policy. Treasury would make more sense for Mitt.

What about Jon Huntsman? He would be a good pick. Scott Brown? Bob Corker? These folks have knowledge he badly needs.

I love Mitt Romney but the only foreign policy experience he has is pissing off David Cameron. Trump should pick Corker (Bolton won't make it past the senate).

Anyone not named yet for the State Department? Bobby Knight? Joe Arpaio? Mike Tysen? Chuck Norris? Kid Rock?

WARNING: CONSPIRACY THEORY BELOW.

What if Mitt Romney is publicizing his upcoming visit with the President-elect to a) trial balloon an actual appointment, or b) simply undermine the vastly more qualified and more honest Jon Huntsman, who Mitt hates.

I think people are just outright spreading misinformation. How is Haley remotely qualified to be at the State Department? She had a meeting scheduled, and she's outright using it to spread the rumors in the hopes that she'll box Trump like Pence did. Trump clearly learns from his mistakes so I suspect she'll be leaving Trump Tower empty handed.

He's acceptable for that position IMO. Pretty good cushy post for Huckabee to retire from in a few years.

Good God, not Sarah Palin.  I mean if he wants to make her the Russian Ambassador that's fine, since she can see Russia from her house, but c'mon.
