Re: Picking advisors ...
Rudolph Guiliani in contention for Sec State. He is,imo, absolutely a bat shit crazy ideologue, the thought of him in that position makes me nervous.
Sarah Palin for any position is imo just nuts.
Looking back we can see that neither of these folks got picked for anything. It appears that some folks, and I'd add Romney and Gingrich to this list, were being toyed with. I have to give Sarah credit for being the first one of the bunch who figured out what the game was.
But to tie this to the topic, none of these guys figured out that they were incompetent for any of the positions. They all rated themselves highly.

Re: Picking advisors ...
I will say, things are tough when Sylvester Stalone gets taped to head the National Endowment of the Arts, and it's the BEST choice Trump has made so far.
Sly says, "no thanks".
quote:
"I am incredibly flattered to have been suggested to be involved with the National Endowment of the Arts, Stallone said in a statement to People. However I believe I could be more effective by bringing national attention to returning military personnel in an effort to find gainful employment, suitable housing and financial assistance these heroes respectfully deserve."
