Yes, that seems to be the problem.

Yep.. for Hilliary/ISIS financiers and other nefarious puppet masters behind current SWC.

Hahahahaha

That list is full of ISIS financiers/Goldman Sachs/PNAC and FWCs Trump puppet masters

 

[Zippyjuan]

So we have a billionaire who "feels the pain" of the poor, huddled masses acting as a outsider with a cabinet likely full of insiders. Only in America!

 

[Matt Collins]

That list, assuming if legitimate, is horrifying!

 

[Mordan]

As we type, Bill Kristol, the neoconservatives and the RINO establishment are working hard lobbying to put their people into the Trump Administration.

What is the liberty movement doing?

They cannot possible deviate an inch from their principles!!!!!

Stupids

Oh, you're just mad and jealous because he's not a fellow liberal Jew.

Trump's appointments, for me, will be the final indicator whether or not he will be an asset for liberty. Unless he does pretty much the polar opposite of most of that list, my previous conclusion that he's a standard-issue establishmentarian will hold. It's not draining the swamp, it's feeding the alligators. Which is what he's done as a political contributor for his entire career.

 

[Mordan]

I got neg repped and bullied here because I said Rand should have campaigned for Trump. Ron and Rand have very little influence now.

Good job purists who run Rand's campaign.

We're missing the boat because they are those holding onto their snob mentality. It's no better then the globalists who believe they're above everyone else. Liberty can't be biased. We need Rand, Lee, Massie up there teaching this green guy that became PotUS what the real law is. I saw Trump thanking Ben Carson and Sessions but everyone else should've been in there instead of him being surrounded by a circle of vultures. This is the time when the real work begins on a lot of levels. We have new voters who are open to ideas of liberty. We should be guiding them as much as our Liberty candidates should be guiding the direction of our other leadership. I would love if liberty was easy but unfortunately for now it's not the case.

...It's not draining the swamp, it's feeding the alligators. Which is what he's done as a political contributor for his entire career.

Well put turn of phrase.

We shall see.

I'm skeptical. Feeling like the donkey Benjamin in Orwell's Animal Farm.

 

[Zippyjuan]

Wait until he is actually on the job. His supporters may be disappointed in what he does and doesn't do.

 

[fcreature]

Ron Paul for Speaker of the House!

Very good question.

 

[The Gold Standard]

What is the liberty movement doing?

Rationalizing how a Secretary Bolton and a Goldman Sachs crony and Mr. Blue Lives Matter are going to come in and work for liberty.

Trump's kitchen Cabinet
The nominee leans on like-minded CEOs, many of whom he's known for years.
By Nancy Cook and Andrew Restuccia - 10/13/16

When Donald Trump wants Obamacare advice, he talks to John Ridings Lee, 79, an insurance company CEO and Mar-a-Lago Club regular, who likes to say Obamacare should be “pitched out the window.”

For energy advice, Trump turns to oil tycoon Harold Hamm, 70, who shares his belief about the need to expand oil and gas drilling.

On trade, he relies on former steel company executive Dan DiMicco, 66, who has warned that NAFTA and TPP are ruinous for American workers.

Trump and his top lieutenants are leaning on a network of CEOs and private-sector executives who have built personal relationships with the nominee, often over golf games or hobnobbing at swanky events at his resorts and homes — choosing them over veteran Washington policy wonks for whom the candidate has expressed distaste, according to interviews with people close to Trump’s campaign and presidential transition team.

These men — and almost all are older, white men seen as titans of business — have served as a de facto kitchen Cabinet to a candidate with a famously short attention span and an impatience with detailed policy discussions. Far more than any advice he is receiving from professional policy experts in Washington, D.C., he relies on them to inform his perspective on policy.

People close to Trump say the nominee hasn’t made any final decisions about his Cabinet picks, and the release of a tape featuring his boasts about groping women has shifted the focus away from planning for the presidency. But Trump continues to surround himself with top business executives who are expected to influence his decisions.

Should he manage to win in November, Republicans say they expect him to assemble a CEO-heavy Cabinet, filled with many of the men he regards as peers and who agree broadly on the imperatives of lowering taxes and rolling back regulations.

A Trump Cabinet might include Hamm as Energy secretary and Forrest Lucas, CEO of oil products company Lucas Oil, as Interior secretary (although Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. is also said to be in the running for the Interior job). Both Bruce Rastetter, who has made a fortune in pork, ethanol and farm real estate, and Chuck Conner, the president of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, are seen as possibilities for Agriculture secretary.
How Democrats are using Trump's hot-mic fiasco

While business leaders have held Cabinet positions in both Republican and Democratic administrations, Trump’s reliance on the CEO class for policy advice is unprecedented — and could raise complicated questions about conflicts of interest.
...
On the economic front, Trump is receiving advice from a collection of donors, hedge fund executives, and CEOs like Stephen Feinberg, co-founder and CEO of Cerberus Capital Management, and Howard Lorber, president and CEO of Vector Group, a publicly traded company with products ranging from hotels, property-management and mortgage services to tobacco and alcoholic beverages.

For advice on tax policy, Trump invited G. Brint Ryan, owner of a Dallas-based firm that advises companies on how to minimize their tax bills, to lunch at his Beverly Hills home. Ryan told POLITICO this week he’s continuing to support Trump even after the release of the video of Trump disparaging women because “I find Hillary Clinton to be at least as morally repugnant if not more."

Trump is also talking to J. Larry Nichols, the chairman emeritus of Devon Energy Corporation; coal executive Joe Craft; Donald Hoffman, CEO of Excel Services Corp.; and Wilbur Ross, who heads the investment company WL Ross & Co.
...
If elected, Trump wouldn’t be the first president to rely on wealthy CEOs to fill key Cabinet positions. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Cabinet was often described as “nine millionaires and a plumber” because the only person who wasn’t a wealthy businessman was Secretary of Labor Martin Durkin, the president of a plumber’s union.

Possible Sec. of State:

He can't pick him. Insanity. Bolton hates Russia and wants expansion into Ukraine. The fix is in if he's chosen.
