Transition Team/Cabinet Thread

MikeHuck to be an ambassador here and move the embassy to Jerusalem will:
1. kill any chance for the US to be a mediator again (if anyone reads hebrew here I wrote a piece in the Haaretz this week explaining why we should embrace this)
2. put this administration in direct collision with France\Germany for sure maybe even the UK
3. boost the EU's desire to take an active role and maybe applying the French programme, so in a way an own goal for the right

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Doesn't every incoming administration say it'll move the embassy to Jerusalem?

[Hnv1]

Doesn't every incoming administration say it'll move the embassy to Jerusalem?

Nope, and when they do the state department and MoD usually put their foot down. But this nomination and the nature of this administration perhaps entail this will finally happen

Huckabee says he has not been picked as Ambassador to Israel:

Was his endorsement of slavery a joke too?

Considering you were guaranteed to be free in seven years (if you were an Israelite), Biblical slavery might well be preferable to our Prison Industrial Complex.  But that's not because slavery is a good thing.

[Mr. Morden]

The Daily Caller claims to have a big scoop on Trump’s choices for the top jobs, but I’m skeptical:

Kobach to meet with Trump on Sunday.  Since Sessions got AG, the Kobach fallback option might be Homeland Security:

I wish Brown was picked as VP instead of Mike "I'm a Christian, Conservative, and Republican, in that order" Pence.

Fox News host Eric Bolling may be in consideration to be the next Commerce Secretary....

[Angel of Death]

The world could have much worse than a Secretary of State Mitt Romney.

[ApatheticAustrian]

bolling is one of the most despicable people in american media, imho, so it's only natural he would - too - get some kind of offer in the trump administration.

[Maxwell]

okay yeah they're just throwing out names at this point. Bolling is a clown who won't get that job.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Bolling also is sensing that a Trump cabinet talk is a pretty good, quick gravy train to get on.

Pence helped Trump win. Pence being on the ticket help with Conservative Christians that came out to vote for them that wouldn't have if Brown was on the ticket.

[Saruman]

I'd bet money that Giuliani is going to be SOS. This Romney/Haley stuff is just performance art. Trump was pissed that the news of SOS Giuliani leaked to the press so quickly (by Rudy himself) so he put up a bunch of smoke.

[Mr. Morden]

Trump himself is pumping Mattis for Secretary of Defense:

Mattis is still dominating the Defense market on Predictit, but Perry’s now leading for Agriculture.  Had been leading for Energy at one point, but Kevin Cramer’s now the frontrunner for that one.
