Pompeo will be in something, fer shur.
I've read skepticism about Pompeo - too swampy.
Trump values loyalty. Trump also talked with Rogan about mistakes he made, selecting too many people in his first administration he didn't really know or selecting people that did not understand how the levers of power are used in Washington.

Linda McMahon, the co-chair of Trump’s transition team and his former Small Business Administration chief, is considered by some of the former president’s allies to be a leading contender for the job.
I am still astounded that two personalities from WWE will be leading this nation…

First pick - Wiles, Chief of Staff.
She’s been a political consultant her whole career dating back to Kemp’s presidential campaign. What does she know about Russia?
-
I don’t think as Chief of Staff she needs to
know anything about Russia other than where it is on a world map. Managing the President’s work day schedule and the WH staff though she ought to know everything possible to keep things running as smoothly as can be under all conditions and circumstances.“Little by little I am learning the art of being quite content by doing very little slowly” ~ Lionel Hardcastle

I didn’t see them speculate on Education… Which leads to further speculation on my part…

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Well, that's interesting...
I listened to an interview with Vivek. He said that the experience of running for president was amazing - simply because, being a political noob, he had no idea of how Washington works, and where the pitfalls are. He then said that this also applied to Trump in 2016. He predicts it'll be different this time around.
-
Everybody from Trump's inner circle that I've heard interviewed have immediately pulled back when asked what they think their role in the new administration might be. I sense some deference to Trump. They have been promised nothing, and they expect nothing until it is offered.
Education is extremely important.

Good point. I saw Rubio interviewed re' cabinet posts, and that's the sense I got.
I find it interesting that President-Elect Trump posted this.

That’s not a surprise. I think Ivanka didn’t like the very nasty attention their kids were getting.

I am not sure why people think that the way President Trump will pick people for his cabinet will be different from the last time.
Last time, we were told (by himself) that we was a businessman who had decades of experience in hiring people and only hired the best. I dont see him changing his style unless to make that there is some sort of "loyalty" question in the hiring.
