Very interesting but I will pick when someone besides ABC News compiles the list. Do not trust anything they say anymore.

What a dream come true that would be! Saw lots of names I liked . Trey Gowdy for att.general....... The clintoons would move out of the country!

missinglink Loc: Tralfamadore

I agree with the source being far less then desirable but the list they
put forth isn't all that far fetched.

missinglink Loc: Tralfamadore

Wouldn't that be a hoot.

Docadhoc Loc: Elsewhere

I do see some names on the list that would be good.people no matter the position.

Sessions
Giuliani
Gingrich
Sheriff Joe
Gowdy

These come to mind first

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

You are correct. Just this list alone would make this government much more responsive to the people. Look at all the Muslims, American hating liberals and people of color, picked just because of their color that will be gone. Oh happy days.

JFlorio Loc: Seminole Florida

The list is very nice. I just hope it's not something ABC made up to further piss off the loons.

I, personally, think it would be an absolute joy to see President Elect Trump,choose General Mattas as Secretary of Defense. The look on Ash Carter's face would be worth even seeing it as a suggestion.

The i***t left just didn't get the fact that they were ponds as well for the last several decades.
Big money and much of it from out of country has been running our show from behind the
curtains for an awfully long time . Clinton being a major player for the worlds elitist.The money
trail was incredibly well documented and the dumb F's still didn't get it . Her ties to the g*******t
bunch as well. Yet , they still didn't get it. How freakin dumb are these people ? The v**e for Trump
was fueled by Independents such as myself in hopes of putting the brakes to this crap and they missed
that as well. We didn't v**e as lock step zombies and that will be lost to them also . Oh well.
The sheeple will still be fed. I do hope that every once in awhile one would pop up and leave the herd.

You can do it buddy. Trod on.

missinglink Loc: Tralfamadore

Wouldn't it though !!

AuntiE Loc: 45th Least Free State

I wonder how long the t***sition meeting would take.....five minutes, if that.

missinglink Loc: Tralfamadore

That long ? Huuuum !

I would like to see most of the generals and admirals
that disagreed with obama reinstated.
That would jump start our military. Big time.
