#1 I do start to worry that tapping so many GOP senators for cabinet spots might have a bad result vis the slim GOP senate majority.

#2 #1 I do start to worry that tapping so many GOP senators for cabinet spots might have a bad result vis the slim GOP senate majority. Posted by: M. Murcek Brown is a former GOP Senator and a great choice to run the VA. He was a Reservist and spent some time in Afghanistan...a worker-bee not afraid to get his hands dirty, unlike the perfumed princes that have been running the VA.

#3 M.M.
He's no longer a Senator, good voice IMO

#4 As long as his appointees come from red states with GOP governors then there is no worry about the majority.

I say let President Trump appoint all these people out of the senate to make it stronger by promoting moderate RINOs he can fire later, and replacing them with conservatives in the Senate.

Maybe he can find an appointment for McConel and Ryan to get them out of the way.

#5 Yeah, I was confused. Thinking of Sen Tim Scott from SC. Duh!

#8 Brown is a fighter. he would do great. He has had to fight every step of his political career. He, his fighting spirit, is what the VA needs.

#9 Trump needs to build a vast empty VA hanger in Alaska. Transfer all the VA corrupt punks there and let them retire out. Until they retire they can sit at an empty desk in the hanger and do nothing.

#10 JV, that's a great plan, especially if the hangar is in a very cold part of Alaska and heat is only had by the deskmonkeys using their own pocket change to purchase it in five minuet increments all day long.

#11 jvalentour - I was thinking more along the lines of a yuuuge new office in beautiful subterranean Antarctica, but I can be swayed. Very prestigious, would have chairs and everything. Eventually. Comes with a $55/month 'uncomfy duty' pay. No relocation allowance though, and no family; that's what the $55/month is for.
