        Because the election isn't over. We just need 39 electors to switch their votes before the 19th.

          Good point.

            The third one was Energy... Let's hope that he gets it shut down.


            His whole cabinet is hilarious. It would be awesome if he chose Palin to run Education.

              So if that happens doesn't it go to the republican controlled house to pick?

                The good news is that Trump might be the most likely president to be impeached and thrown out of any prior man entering the office. Seriously, something like only 45 GOP Congressman and 19 GOP Senators. Lee, Cruz, McCain, Graham, Paul, Collins, Flake, Rubio and Portman probably wouldn't have any problem throwing him out if put to the vote and Trump does something only moderately impeachable. Then there's guys like Ron Johnson, Bob Corker, Pat Toomey, Pat Roberts, Orin Hatch, Corey Gardner who I'm sure could be swayed.
                Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                  Thankfully, not all Republican leaders have turned into Trumpologists (like some posters here).

                  "It defies belief that somehow Republicans in the Senate are reluctant to either review Russian tactics or ignore them," McConnell said, adding later: "The Russians are not our friends."

                  The majority leader's comments follow an extraordinary statement Sunday from a bipartisan group of four influential senators — including McCain — who called for an investigation into Russian influence into the Nov. 8 election, warning that reports of meddling from Vladimir Putin's government should "alarm every American." And during a television appearance on Sunday, McCain said he wants a select committee to investigate the issue.

                    Other posters have morphed into full on 911-truther/Alex Jones type conspiracy theorists. This is a weird time to be alive.

                      You know Palin is getting something.

                      LOL at all the posters who assured everyone that Trump was unknowledgeable about the world but at least he would surround himself with smart people.

                        the bigger problem would be the house

                          Can you honestly say the people he has picked aren't smart. Maybe not a fan of their policies, but they aren't smart? Perhaps you could give me a source for your conclusion.

                            I too like that a good part of the GOP doesn't fall in line lock step. I wish that were the case with the dems and maybe we could get some good legislation through.

                              I wish that were the case. Hatch has really lacked leadership and political courage as of late. I don't see the House doing anything. Gerrymandering has bred a more hyper-partisan congress than previous ones.
