Trump should make Huckabee and Santorum special advisers in charge of bringing values back into our society.

Do they have odds for SCOTUS, by the way?

Huckabee has said that the two-state solution isn’t viable, and has also said that “there’s no such thing as a Palestinian”:

Rhetorically, at least, he’s way out there on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, at least as compared to previous American administrations.

So far, I'll give my soon to be dramatically wrong (it's still 2016, anything can happen) predictions.

State: NOTA (Huntsman is my hope but who knows).
Treasury: Hensarling, possibly Romney but I doubt it.
Defense: Sessions.
Attorney General: Rudy.

I really don't think he's completely fleshed out the lesser posts (Education, HHS, Commerce, Interior, etc) but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I think we are going to see a lot of unknowns in these departments (Lipnic at Labor, Chuck Connors at Agriculture) when they turn to fill these rolls.

Gingrich out. https://twitter.com/CNBCnow/status/799366545038311424

He is eyeing the RNC I suspect.

[ApatheticAustrian]

i may be wrong but to me gingrich sounds like the most overhyped person in the whole republican party.

Hmmm, the guy is amazingly pro-Israel and pro-settlements so that's a big, big plus, but hasn't he once advocated bringing Jesus to the Jews or something? I'm not sure, so this is a genuine question, but I vaguely recall something like that... The mainstream Israeli right is surely willing to ignore that, just like they have been willing to defend Bannon, but err... that would be a big, big minus, so to speak.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Hmmm, the guy is amazingly pro-Israel and pro-settlements

like most christians if his ilk, him being pro-israel means something like preserving israel for the end times, when everyone becomes christian.

[Mr. Morden]

Who's the Secretary of State frontrunner, Romney or Giuliani?  I realize that Giuliani leads the national Secretary of State polls, but Romney has the lead in both Iowa and New Hampshire.  In theory, if he wins those two states, he should be able to get momentum to catch up in the national polls.  After all, no one's ever won both Iowa and New Hampshire and gone on to lose Secretary of State.  Even Ed Muskie made it there eventually.

Now Romney just has to make sure that he doesn't get derailed by Huckabee upsetting him in the Israeli caucuses.

[RogueBeaver]

Talent is the Pentagon frontrunner.

[KingSweden]

Talent is the Pentagon frontrunner.

Him or Hadley would be acceptable I guess

Huckabee loves the kiddy fiddler Duggar and once admitted that he desperately wants to gawk at teenage girls undressing. A perfect match for Trump's values, sure, but are  you sure you want that inflicted on society?

Rand Paul: I oppose both Rudy Giuliani and John Bolton for secretary of state

Credit where it's due.

It is nice to see that Rand Paul is starting to act like Rand Paul again. Another great consequence of the Trumpening!

[ApatheticAustrian]

the biggest difference between ron paul and rand paul is, that rand also plays ball on presidential level and not just inside the earmark universe.

he basically said that he would have jumped at the chance to creep on teenage girls if he thought he could get away with it. That's not natural, and is a sign he is a degenerate creep. Combined with the fact that he thinks Duggar is a nice guy, FF; it paints a very suspicious portrait of the supposedly "moral" Huckabee.

He said that he would have wanted to shower with the girls when he was in high school.  He is clearly not talking about himself now.  Plus, he was making a joke, something liberals must not get.

Paedophiles often joke about their perversion to "normalise" it and hide in plain sight. Jared Fogle did it, as did Jimmy Savile. I mean, I find it weird that a man in his 60's lives in regret because he didn't get to creep on teen girls enough as a youth, but then again I'm not a "values conservative".

if islamophobia is going to be part of the administration why not give the advisor job to daniel pipes?
