If things are still being floated, I'd be cool with Romney for president, vice president, counsel, secretary of anything, too, at this point.

idk what trump's doing here with the romney float but it's definitely not actually nominating him for state. he's messing with someone.

again with the 4-dimensional chess suspicions

Trump is a moron

the team is casting about for anybody that a) is willing to work for them, b) will swear total fealty to Our Fearless Leader and c) won't immediately start a firefight with congress

probably would help if the presidential nominee in 2020 (if there is an election) is someone besides the most hated candidate at that time.

hey, Andrew Cuomo! star star

None of these people want to do these jobs. A radio show is about a 40 hour work week, maybe less? Cabinet Secretaries do 10-12 hour days and usually work weekends. For under $200K a year.

and 14+ hour days for SOS, AG, DHS, SECDEF, etc.

maybe they can outsource it to hillary i think she really wants to do the job

Mordy, Thursday, 17 November 2016 22:19 (seven years ago) link

admit I am kinda bummed about Newtie though. I wouldn't say that I like him exactly, but I do have this sort of attitude similar to one would have for a misbehaving puppy that thinks it's people. Like aw isn't that cute he has an IDEA! And then sometimes he brings you your slippers. But mostly he just chews up the carpet and shits in your shoes.

maybe I'm just sympathetic to Newt because he seems to actually believe in science

cuz Democrats are a bunch of pussies? you'd think the party would be expending resources to bolster turnout in New Orleans at least

Re: the Louisiana race, when I looked into it there was every indication that run-off or no, he was going to get trounced. I guess you never know, though.

More interesting, North Carolina still has not decided its gov race.

Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 17 November 2016 23:23 (seven years ago) link

entirely possible, but turnout in runoff elections is notoriously low + unpredictable. you'd think some anti-Trump anger might be channeled effectively
