I've heard both Newt and Bolden's name as Sec of State. Bolden might be better given his experience. Not sure where that leaves Newt if he's selected - Sec of Commerce perhaps.
How about Kellyanne Conway? Chief of Staff perhaps?

Here are some of my picks for some cabinet positions. I'll also name alternates:
Jeff Sessions -- Secretary of State, Sec'y of Defense
Rudolph Guiliani, Chris Christie - Attorney General, FBI Director
Gen. Michael Flynn -- Secretary of Defense, State
Gen. Bobby Knight -- Ambassador to Puerto Rico
Chris Christie -- Chief of Staff, Department of Justice
Rick Santorum -- Health, Education and Welfare, Dept. of Labor
Dr Ben Carson -- Surgeon General, HUD, HEW
John Bolton -- UN Ambassador
Rick Perry -- Homeland Security
Mike Huckabee -- Chief of Staff
Not a Cabinet post but I'd like Newt Gingrich to return as Speaker of the House. Paul Ryan is an obstacle and an open borders and free trade phony. Newt does NOT need to be a member of Congress to be Speaker again, but must be voted upon by House members, or course.

Dirty Harry Reid planted a bomb in the Senate a while back that is about to blow the Democrats out of the water. Harry used an obscure parliamentary process to change the rules so that presidential appointments to the federal bench could not be filibustered. The GOP will hold a 52-48 advantage in the Senate next year, and will only need a simple majority vote to confirm any SCOTUS appointment.
Edited to add, not clear this applies to SCOTUS, might only be other federal judges.

I hope Trump searches for the best and brightest top performers and doesn't simply look to the people who supported him to fill out cabinet positions. For example I think Rudy is too old and been out of the game for too long to be appointed AG. I feel the same about Newt. For those guys I see something more like Senior Advisory roles. I wouldn't have Christie on my team.
I think Reince is interesting for Chief of staff, and if there is a place for Kellyanne Conway in press office or communications of some type, she is quite good.
I also like Gen Flynn although I'm not sure if he's SecDef material, perhaps, but as a military adviser yes for sure.
Sessions deserves a top role should he want it. Maybe homeland security?
State I really don't know but I'm inclined against Bolton even though I like the guy.

Flynn is problematic because one has to be out of the military 7 years to become Sec of Defense. He's only been out a couple years. Not worth the fight for Trump to get a waiver. Besides, word is that he is not being considered, probably for that very reason. Why spend political capital when you don't have to do so.

He's got to work with everyone (left included) and given that there are also corrupt republicans, if they put Hillary away it's just a matter of time before the democrats get power back and come gunning for them.

This is tricky because if he puts her away and there's this huge circus of trials it will take away from his main job of fixing America. Also, even though it would be him putting her away for actual serious crimes, her blind supporters won't care and you'll have millions of angry people and I'm not sure that's of any benefit to the country.
trump should make it known to her behind closed doors that as long as she calls off the dogs (soros) he won't pursue any criminal actions but she has to stop paying people to incite violence and stop paying the media to portray trump as something he's not.
You can make a good case either way it's a tough decision for him probably.

In that one I thought Newt Gingrich was the most dynamic mind in the race, just because one is smarter than the field it does not translate to the nomination. This time around it was no match in the field, you can argue what you will but I think none of them would have beaten that crooked old POS. Going back to Mitt Romney more would agree when he ran last he was like a dead fish the last ten weeks. Now the shoe is on the other foot it is time to impress the boss, just kissing the ring will not cut it. Getting the Trump agenda across the finish line one must ask how this guy from Utah has any value to Trump.

The value is that people who respect and like Romney might change their stance on Trump, Mitt gives them an 'out' to like Trump "if mitt can work with him, maybe i can too" and the other factor is that people in the Republican party who like and respect Mitt could also follow his lead, its an endorsement of sorts. This could help the Ryan-Trump relationship, assuming that Ryan and Romney actually like and respect each other.

Haley will do the UN job for a couple of years, realize how irrelevant a position it is, then head back to South Carolina, resume her political career, then try for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024.This job is to pad her resume.
De Vos is a big contributor, they usually get a soft ambassador job in St. Lucia or Luxembourg.Not exactly the way to go if Trump is trying to convice people he wants to reform Washington.
The UN itself is useless, worthless, an embarrassment.
But the contacts there are real, and Bolton has made many and has a good handle on what is going on in the world.
What does Nikki bring to the table, the knowledge when to shut down an interstate due to freezing rain?

The moonbats are having hot flashes and heart palpitations over the possibility that as Atty. Gen., Jeff Sessions might abuse the power of his office by actually enforcing the law.
If confirmed as Trump’s attorney general, the Alabama senator would instantly become one of the most powerful people overseeing the nation’s immigration policy, with wide latitude over the kinds of immigration violations to prosecute and who would be deported.
As the nation’s top cop, Sessions would be able to direct limited department resources to pursuing immigration cases. He could launch federal investigations into what he perceives as discrimination against U.S. citizens caused by immigration. He would be in charge of drafting legal rationales for immigration policies under the Trump administration.
And Sessions, as attorney general, could find ways to choke off funding for “sanctuary cities,” where local officials decline to help federal officials identify undocumented immigrants so they can be deported.
Some immigrant advocates are alarmed by the idea of a Justice Department led by someone they see as far outside the mainstream.
How much Kool Aid do you have to drink to consider enforcing the law as being "far outside the mainstream"?
I am concerned though at the possibility that Sessions might neglect the needs of the nation by not allocating sufficient resources to prevent thought crimes by wedding cake bakers or failing to protect the basic human right to use the bathroom of whatever gender you identify with at the moment.

A viable candidate could have overcome "uh...uh...uh".I don't think most people found Perry to be presidential timber.And fair or unfair (and it is unfair) the US just went through a mediocre at best 8 years of an ex Texas governor running the show.Too soon for a rerun,especially from a W. protoge.
