Quote from: Mr. Morden on November 29, 2016, 05:36:04 PM
What's the deal with Commerce and HUD?  On Commerce, the WaPo said last week that two sources inside the transition team said that Ross was the pick.  But then...no announcement.  And with HUD, the AP reported that Trump offered it to Carson.  Then Carson made a Facebook post last week that all but stated he would take the job, but still no announcement.


Ask and you shall receive: Ross at Commerce, announcement imminent.

"Rudy's got it." Top Trump source tells @GersonBorrero that Giuliani has Secretary of State, already lining up staff

I'm pretty skeptical of that source.

That would be pretty funny revenge against Romney: Remind everyone that he's a coreless flipflopper with no real beliefs, and then give the job to his enemy Huntsman anyway.

Given the recent discussion over Taiwan, a Trump administration looking to shake things up in the region would have few better options to lead State than Huntsman. It would also be a good political move, as the nomination would be hailed by everyone and he would be unanimously confirmed.

Fox is reporting that Carly Fiorina is being considered for SoS and Marsha Blackburn confirms it.

Look at that face! Would anyone nominate that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next Secretary of State?

And just what exactly could possibly qualify Carson for HUD? Did Trump see "Urban" and think oh I know just the guy?

BREAKING: @SenatorCollins says "Maine & the country deserve better" than @RealBenCarson as HUD secretary. #mepolitics

Assuming every Dem votes against, 2 more Republicans are needed for Carson to fail confirmation.

BREAKING: I made a huge error in saying @SenatorCollins opposes Carson as HUD sec. That was @chelliepingree quote. My apologies to all.

Sen. Susan Collins

Internet rumor untrue- I have great respect for Dr. Carson and look forward to talking with him.
