    NOBODY who's ANYBODY in National Security is willing to work with Trump.

    Team Trump Struggling to Fill National Security Jobs

    Team Trump is struggling to fill numerous key slots or even attract many candidates because hundreds have either sworn they’d never work in a Trump administration or have directly turned down requests to join, multiple current and former U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the transition efforts told The Daily Beast.​

    A STRANGE GAME.
    THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS
    NOT TO PLAY.

    HOW ABOUT A NICE GAME OF CHESS?

    I would imagine most people with the necessary experience, see how the dominoes will fall, and don't want their name attached to the outcome. So best case are people willing to fall on that sword, for country, and try to minimize the damage. Worse case is someone woefully unprepared/qualified.

    I would bet that Reince Preibus is gonna be Chief of Staff. No way the establishment goes for Bannon. I've gotta say I think it's such beautiful irony that Trump was elected because "he is an outsider" but, because he is an outsider and doesn't know how the game is played, he is going to fill his cabinet and staff positions with establishment people who can run things for him. Congrats Trump supporters, way to think this thing through.

    Hexxus is a damn tree-hugging moderate. By comparison, anyway.
