I’d be surprised if they make it much longer at this point. Same with Zinke.

Imagine if Trump fires Shulkin, Carson, Zinke and Kelly all at once. I wouldn't be surprised. Also think that neither Sessions nor Rosenstein will last much longer than a few months. Additionally, I predict that Mattis also won't stay the whole term. The Drumpf presidency has definitely entered a new and more destructive phase these days since all somewhat "rational" dudes are out of the WH. The orange clown completely wants to sourround himself with a bunch of yes-men. So nobody is left to prevent him from going after his worst instincts.

What's the over/under on the number of original Trump Cabinet members who make it to January 2021?

My guess is none, we'll have them all turnover and that includes the turnover that's already turned over!

If Pompeo counts he might stay in the Cabinet the whole way (though obviously not in the same position)

Actually, check that. DeVos will probably stay because "TWIGGEW THE WIBS LOL"

On the contrary, apparently DeVos doesn’t enjoy her job and Trump doesn’t care for her either

Now he even remembers that the department he heads is one of the departments he wanted to eliminate. Give Ricky a gold star.

The only ones that seem completely safe are Ross, Perdue, Coats, and Chao.

Ross is 1) 80 years old and 2) said to be in the dog house as well:

https://www.axios.com/the-decline-and-fall-of-wilbur-ross-1516568275-c795e9b4-f84f-4080-a129-da23cb91ed2a.html

Perdue faced ethics problems as governor:

https://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/donald-trump-sonny-perdue-agriculture-235982

so I wouldn't completely rule out some kind of Tom Price-esque controversy taking him down.  Not saying it'll happen, but it's possible.

And Coats may have a "Cabinet-level" job, but it's really just kind of pseudo-Cabinet, IMHO.  I mean, his position isn't in the presidential line of succession.

I didn't include her because she could conceivably change positions at some future point.

True, the way she is acting now is not Nikki Haley, it's Trump. How she performed at the beginning of her term was how she normally acts.

I really hope Carson takes his $31,000 dining room set with him when he leaves.
