You're entitled to say that as long as you say the same thing about the right

Remember when people gave Obama shit for "stacking" his admin with friends and campaign supporters?

Tell me what all this people have in common with Donald Trump:

Newt Gingrich
Rudy Guiliani
Ann Coulter
Ben Carson
Steve Bannon
Linda McMahon
Chris Christie

You dislike all of them? Is that what they have in common? I see a correlation.

Not sure if all that wisdom, common sense, and backbone would fit in one cabinet.

Laura Ingram has a lot of street cred in the media for playing it straight

No Surgeon General for Carson. He said he's not interested.

As long as Chris Christie is there, nothing will fit in a cabinet.

I haven't seen Christie being considered for any cabinet role. In fact, he was recently released from the transition team because of a spat with Trump's son-in-law.

Oh, that was a fat joke.

That is expected. the Press Sec is the mouth piece for the Admin, so that is fine if he goes that way.

Huh, I figured he would take it.

At this point. I think Trump has an idea of who he wants, but right now he is probably just leaking things left and right to get a feel for certain people.

Serious question, is there a reason why anyone should give a fuck about the Surgeon General?

Not normally no. But I don't want a guy who didn't dismiss the Anti-vaxxers as being lunatics being in charge of public health policy.

Yes, If you're in the military.

In addition to that, although as a stand alone position it doesn't seem like it should garner too much concern, at this stage, as another appointment, it can continue to shed some light on the type of staff, ideology and culture the President is seeking to create.

Cool. Sounds like a position to throw at a member of the other party to show fake bi-partisanship.
