He's a Trump disciple. Trump told his minion to vote on November 28th.

J/C

I voted at 8am.

I saw Pence vote on TV in Indiana...He didn't even know which precinct he lives in. And before you say most voters wouldn't know....They're not the governor of Indiana or running for VP of the U.S.A

Gingrich, Giuliani, Priebus Eyed for Top Jobs in Trump White House: Sources

by Katy Tur and Benjy Sarlin

Donald Trump's cabinet-in-waiting is taking shape in the final days of the race, as aides eye a number of Trump loyalists for major posts should he win on Tuesday.

Among the names being considered, according to conversations with three campaign advisers who requested anonymity to speak freely: Rudy Giuliani for attorney general, Newt Gingrich for secretary of state, retired Lt. Gen Michael Flynn for defense secretary or national security adviser, Trump finance chairman Steve Mnuchin for Treasury secretary, and Republican National Committee finance chair Lew Eisenberg for commerce secretary.


Trump himself has not taken an active part in transition efforts, in part out of superstition: He fears too much planning before a victory might jinx the campaign. In 2012, he was shocked to read detailed stories on Mitt Romney's preparations for the White House long before election day.

Campaign insiders say they're focused on winning first and foremost as well and no decisions have been made or positions finalized. There are also some possible roadblocks: Flynn, for example, would not be eligible for secretary of defense without a waiver from Congress; the post requires that appointees be out of the military for seven years.

But transition talks are taking on greater intensity in recent days as Trump's polling position improved. Some loyalists are playing coy about their desire for a particular job, while others are whispering their names hoping to gain traction.

"It's become a lot more real," one adviser said.

Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, a loyal supporter, has taken a major role managing the transition effort, especially as the official transition chief, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, has drifted from the campaign. It's not clear Christie is being considered for a significant role in a potential administration either.

The conservative Heritage Foundation is also helping vet names, along with some veterans of Romney's run and the second Bush administration. Running mate Mike Pence is heavily involved and is expected to have a major role in a Trump administration, similar to more active vice presidents like Joe Biden and Al Gore.

One telling name under consideration could point to how Trump, who has sounded torn between co-opting the existing GOP and smashing it to bits, might govern as president.

Reince Priebus, the current RNC chairman, is under consideration as Trump's chief of staff. Priebus earned Trump's trust over the course of the campaign by steadfastly defending him while other top Republicans denounced Trump or shied away from brand.


"They're thinking, 'We need to find that balance between someone who knows how Washington works and someone who shakes things up,'" the senior campaign adviser said.

But the adviser added it was unclear if Priebus was interested in the job, or if he would be the best fit managing Trump's populist movement in the final calculus.

If Priebus leaves the RNC, two close Trump allies could be considered to take his position. Trump's team is talking about former campaign manager and current CNN contributor Corey Lewandowski or current deputy campaign manager David Bossie as possible options.

While Priebus is an olive branch to the establishment, Lewandowski, who had a tumultuous relationship with the RNC while campaign manager, would send a message that Trump won't forget his base.

"Washington still doesn't get it," another senior aide said. "You have to understand the party will never be the same."


Many top figures who worked under previous Republican presidents are still opposed to Trump's candidacy, limiting the pool of possible names available. But one veteran of the George W. Bush White House who met with members of Trump's transition team for several hours said he came away convinced they were interested in seasoned players from prior administrations.

"They're reaching out to people with experience, they're listening to them, they're taking their counsel," the former official said. "I was very impressed."

Within Trump's campaign, some of the biggest player may move on. Campaign CEO Steve Bannon has already said he'll return to Breitbart, where his outlet would undoubtedly be a prime mover of Trump's message as president. Sources say Kellyanne Conway, Trump's campaign manager, might also decline an administration job after a grueling general election

Asked for comment on the above names floated for cabinet posts, Trump campaign spokesman Hope Hicks replied by e-mail that "none of this is accurate."

She added Trump had not been too closely involved in the transition effort because he "is entirely focused on the campaign and the American people."

Of course not. They never involve their puppets.

This priest has been watching too much of the new series The Exorcist on TV.

Interesting and informative post. Thanks NL.

Using every old washed up Republican politician sure doesn't sound like some plan to make America great again.

Sounds more like wash, rinse, repeat.

Is that how it looks to you from up there?

ELECTION DAY!!!

Will America choose the Riverboat Gambler for President or will they anoint a new Queen?

That's just how it is.

When did James Garner throw his hat into the ring?

I'd vote for Garner over either of the two we have. Hell I'd vote for Jennifer Garner over these two.

That's why I was asking. lol

Same with me, except I've been voting at the same place for 16 years. 5 voting machines. I've never stood in line. Today, 8 people were ahead of me in line. (rural living for you!)

And I've gone before work every time. Got there at about 7:45 today, pretty much the same time as all my other times.

Glenn Beck is a changed man, and for that he credits the Obamas.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/glenn-beck-says-obama-made-me-a-better-man-162058858.html

The political commentator who rose to prominence as a conservative firebrand scrawling conspiratorial arguments across a chalkboard on Fox News now says President Obama made him a “better man” and that he was moved by first lady Michelle Obama’s remarks while campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

In a short but revealing profile titled “Glenn Beck Tries Out Decency,” published on the New Yorker’s website Monday, Beck made several revelations about his recent worldview that came as a shock to supporters and critics. He said he regrets accusing President Obama of racism. In July 2009, Beck provoked intense backlash for saying the commander in chief had a “deep-seated hatred for white people.”

“I did a lot of freaking out about Barack Obama,” Beck told the magazine. “Obama made me a better man.”

“There are things unique to the African-American experience that I cannot relate to,” he told the New Yorker. “I had to listen to them.”

Beck also admitted to being mesmerized by a recent Michelle Obama speech in New Hampshire on behalf of Clinton, in which she criticized Republican candidate Donald Trump’s past behavior around women.

“It doesn’t matter what party you belong to — Democrat, Republican, Independent — no woman deserves to be treated this way,” the first lady said.

For Beck, it was “the most effective political speech I have heard since Ronald Reagan.”

“Those words hit me where I live,” he said. “If you’re a decent human being, those words were dead on.”

According to the New Yorker profile, Beck considers himself a supporter of Black Lives Matter, the prominent activist network protesting what it considers systemic police brutality against African-Americans. However, after the piece appeared, Nick Baumann of liberal website Mother Jones, reported that a member of Beck’s publicity team said he does not support the Black Lives Matter movement.

Regardless, the Beck of 2016 is a far cry from yesteryear.

What happens to Repubs if Hillary wins by a larger landslide than Obama did in 2012? I mean you've got red states in play like Zona, Georgie and North Carolina.

On my way to vote in the rigged election this morning I noticed longer lines than usual. Turnout will be one of the highest in memory I think.

I've heard and seen mixed results. Some areas have had really low turnouts.

In comparison to 2012, I expect a lower turnout from the black population and a record turnout from the Hispanic population.

Sounds like he realizes that he has taken his schtick as far as it can go and needs to reinvent himself in order to keep his show going.

I'd be willing to bet that his numbers have been dropping off the last several months (or longer) and he is merely coming back to a more centrist view to try to capture more listeners.

Agreed. On top of that he should have said "Obama made me a RICHER man." He fed the disgusting beast that was his listenership their daily regurgitation of vitrolic hate and borderline racist commentary towards the president. His listeners gobbled it up. In doing so he sold books and advertising and made himself wealthy. Now I'm supposed to believe he had a change of heart? Give me a break.
He and his ilk are a scab on this country.

I can't stand beck.

Glen Beck is and always has been, a nut.

What? Did someone hack your account? 40 are you having a stroke?! Call 911!!
I thought you'd have a Beck poster over your bed. Right next to your Hannity poster. Of course a life sized Rush cardboard cutout in the corner watching over you and the wife while you sleep.

Hmmm. Learn something new everyday.

Projected Trump wins Kentucky and Indiana.

Clinton wins Vermont.

Pence brought home Indiana.

Can't stand Hannity, he never shuts up.

LOL, I think Hannity is better than Bill O'Reilly.

Trump currently leads Hillary over 6 to 1 in Electorial votes!

19-3 hehehehe

Whoa, Trump crushed Clinton in West Virginia. Its always interesting to try and figure out details when the percentage isn't even close.

South Carolina just called for Trump.

Google is showing Trump leading the national popular vote 50% - 46% with 7% reporting. Swing states don't look particularly favorable but it's still early in a few of them.

Geesh....all you guys for Trump getting excited about some VERY early exit poll results. I just saw Oklahoma with 0% reported and they were saying "based on exit polls we can probably call that state now". WTF? As the night goes on and If it swings big time in Clinton's favor I am sure all the Trump supporters will be stomping their feet that it was "rigged".

Well, yes. You're right.

The flip side of that is the hillary supporters who pretty much determined a month or 2 ago that she had won already.

2 months ago?

I called it the moment trump won the republican primary.

Tight race into the early of the night. Florida, as it seems these last few races, will determine the winner.

Or Michigan.

Trump is winning in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, New Hampshire, and it's 48/48 in Virginia.

Forget the landslide talk.. this is going to be close.
