Heard the following speculation out of the always-reliable mainstream media...Giuliani as AG, that three-star as SECDEF, and Newt as Secretary of State.
Trump just announced RNC chair Reince Priebus as his Chief of Staff. And VP Mike Pence will lead the transition team. We can use this thread for future updates to speculate and report when cabinet members are announced.

Can't be any worse than what we had. I'd like to see Trump pardon that 4 star general who "confessed", since Hillary got nothing for her transgressions and the "we love socialism" liberal DNC didn't employ the socialist mantra when they gave about 98% of the funding to only one candidate.
Ah, yes. The outsider Reince Priebus! A Change is gonna come.
Smart move, tbh.
A bit like the outsider Hillary Clinton.
Trash's voters, aka You People, expected some (false) outsidee to so some outsider stuff, but
personnel = policy.
Trash's establishment personnel will deliver the standard -the-99% and Trash's voters, while greenlighting every single -Trassh's-voters bill from the Repug establishment Congress.
Told ya!
She never pretended to be an outsider. He did, and anyone who bought that bull is going to be sorely disappointed.
He knows the swamp.
The Chief of Staff position is usually filled with someone who has insight and relationships on the hill. I don't think he's necessarily inside Trump's tight inner circle, but he'll be a valuable asset as Trump starts to negotiate on enacting his platform.
Trash's platform will be 100% establishment Repug/VRWC platform. Check his 1st 100 days and Repugs 50-pont campaign platform. Trash's voters are gonna stayed screwed economically.
I bet he pushes for a massive infrastructure spending bill and works with bipartisan support to get it passed. I bet he also negotiates on pieces of the ACA that will stay in place even if the mandate is repealed.
I wouldn't consider either of those as establishment positions.
Obama has been pushing for an infrastructure bill for years and the republicans have fought him tooth and nail.
I want to see how he's going to repeal the mandate while maintaining coverage for pre existing conditions.
Repugs will REFUSE any increase in govt spending, being strictly austerity driven, defunding govt at all levels, with enriching BigDonors.
Repugs voting to repeal ACA 60+ times was pure time-wasting theatre.
Now the Repugs stop their theature, and can act, but they won't repeal it.
They'll it up for the citizens while protecting BigCorp revenues.
Their court-approved suit ruling ACA subsidizing insurers is unCons utional, what happens to that?
Repugs gonna stop hosing those govt $Bs to BigInsurance? no. Repugs LOVE corporate welfare/socialism for ALL their BigDonors.

Gingrich is the swamp
I know he ran off the swamp thang already when Billary left.
Breitbart bas "Bannon serving as chief strategist and senior counselor to the president."

Bannon HATES Ryan.
Obama's bill didn't come with the promise of border security in the form of a wall. It's a compromise for both sides.
I also will be interested to see how the repeal shakes out.
You mean the fence? That's not infrastructure and it's a ridiculously inefficient way to secure the boarder.
Did she campaign as an outsider? No.
Obama/Dems got more brains than to waste $Bs on a ing useless partial wall to pander to xenophobes.
Remember the Repugs wasted $5B to Boeing for a high-tech wall? BP just laughed at it. $5B wasted 10 years ago.

So with Bannon on staff now Pravdabart is like officially a state run enterprise now, right?
You asked why congress would get behind an infrastructure bill from Trump when they wouldn't do so for Obama. I didn't say it was a good use of taxpayer dollars.
That wall isn't being built. He's already backing off it. The house majority leader was on MTP this morning referring to builing a "virtual" wall. That's not infrastructure.
