Must be a shock to DC residents. Who voted for Clinton at the tune of about 93%. Must be like living in a total bubble.

Horrible rumor: Palin being considered for a cabinet position. Ugh, barf.

There will probably be some hits and some misses on his cabinet. There is a rumor around Jon Huntsman for Sec. of State. That's probably actually a pretty good one for those who don't like the US being overly involved in wars all over the planet. It would also be a pick that would ease concerns our friends in Europe and Asia might have. He's not one to want the US to suddenly throw those relationships away.

I would hire somebody to babysit her. I am spewing profanities at the thought of her. f)&&(U(_&&U

Sessions, Gingrich, and Huntsman would be acceptable.

And not to be pedantic, get Condie Rice in there, but she is too sane. We need women and people of color as well. The GOP can't turn a deaf ear to the growing demographic. We can appoint Asians, Latinos and other groups. Get quality, get diversity and then listen to them.

appoint me. I'll by the Czar of the internet. and I will punish my enemies. With random and nonsensical 1 month suspensions from their own message boards.

There are problems in our cities, but it's not illegal immigration. Actually, I've heard repeatedly lately that illegal immigration into the US is modest and actually there is no net increase of illegal immigrants in the US for a long time now. They come and they go. I heard billionaire Trump supporter Peter Theil say this just last night. (He's a billionaire Trump supporter who doesn't believe Trump will keep any of his campaign promises.)

Actually, I have no problem with polite society looking askance at immigration bashing. Without exception, anyone I've ever known (outside of demagoguing politicians) who cares about the immigration issue is a bigot or a loser, pretty much usually both. The demagoguing sure didn't sell in California.

You haven't been impacted by it. Hispanic immigration has reshaped the city of Dallas.

Dallas ISD (schools) is now 70.2% Hispanic, 22.5% African American, 4.9% White.

Of course a wealthy lawyer who has kids in private school is not going to feel any impact. You're not competing for wages, you've not had to pull your kids out of their school and move away. Hispanic immigration is the #1 factor for white flight in this area.

Unfailingly liberal elites who say none of this is an issue have their kids in private schools.
