pre-GOP convention discussion LATEST: Partial speaker list & seating chart

[President Johnson]

Pretty smart mobe, Big Don. Nobody is better with media attention than TRUMP.

[President Johnson]

Trump: Palin not attending RNC because Alaska 'a long ways away'

Who care

[President Johnson]

Obviously it'd be Attorney General for Christie. Secretary of Defense for Flynn. Gingrich...hmmm....Maybe OMB Director?

Flynn can't serve as Secretary of Defense. I'd guess Director of National Intelligence for him.

Christie should get Secretary of Labor, but yeah, probably AG, unfortunately.

I think Newt could conceivably be made SecDef or National Security Advisor.

Christie confidant pleads guilty

David Samson, a longtime confidant of Governor Christie, pleaded guilty Thursday to federal charges of using his former position as chairman of the Port Authority to pressure United Airlines to reinstate a flight to South Carolina, where he had a weekend home.

-----
He basically pulled a hangar project United wanted off of the Port Authority agenda until they reinstated the flight.

Clearly Christie and his gang of mooks should be penciled in at the Dept of Transportation.

Why can't Flynn serve as Defense Sec? He would be a fanatastic boss in the Pentagon though I still hope he's the VP pick.

Transportation Department for Christie only if Jeb becomes Sec. of (Low) Energy.

[President Johnson]

Flynn will get a Defense related post, Corker as Secretary of State, Christie as attorney general, Gingrich as Interior.

Gingrich would be better as Budget Director or at Treasury. Jan Brewer would better fit for Interior.

Trump Jr. wants interior. He'll get it.

Nah, would be unlawful. You can't appoint direct relatives to the cabinet.

Tell that to JFK.

The law was changed since then. I think already in the Johnson-Administration.

Can you cite this? I'm not necessarily doubting you but I've never heard that.

postal revenue and federal salary act of 1967

Thanks; I was just sure that it was enacted during LBJ's presidency.
