    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 I bet he also negotiates on pieces of the ACA that will stay in place even if the mandate is repealed.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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
