#1 Well since I stayed up all night I'm calling it for Trump.

And will never believe a pollster again.

#4 Congrats to the Donald. He has shown that he understands a lot more about politics than many of the seasoned pols and professionals re the Presidential race this election season. He's also shown that money isn't everything in the presidential race. I wonder if Comey's last-minute retraction actually hurt Hillary.

#7 Joe Aripaio out as Maricopa County Sheriff. Legalizing marijuana and raising the minimum wage in the county is gaining momentum due to influx of Latinos.

#12 I'm reminded of the adage,

'The best way to become a millionaire is to start out a billionaire.'

Trump did the opposite and that says he is far more astute than almost everyone gave him credit for.

#14 First 3 things I want to see from President Trump:

1. AG Trey Gowdy - mission: clean out that place and the FBI

2. Secretary of State Bolton - mission: clean that place out

3. Supreme Court Justice Ted Cruz - mission: bring the court back to constitutionalism

#19 Sheriff Joe Arpaio out as Maricopa County Sheriff

Means he's available to clean up ICE and its bureaucratic overhead.

#20 A large number of states passed marijuana initiatives. These left-leaning states passing pot laws must have been prescient regarding a Trump win.

#22 Dreaming....

They can't afford to lose Tea Partier Trey Gowdy's vote in the House, or his sharp mind. He needs to stay where he is until at least the next election. But he'll work happily with the new attorney general, I'm sure, and enjoy the increased influence his increased seniority provides.

Ted Cruz would be very interesting on the Supreme Court, though President Trump already has a list of candidates. It might be fun to put him on the Ninth Circuit court of appeals for seasoning in the meantime -- he'd enjoy shaking up that lot while waiting his turn for a top spot. But honestly, for the same reason that Trey Gowdy needs to stay in the House for a while, Ted Cruz needs to stay in the Senate. The Republicans can't afford to lose his vote, and he needs to rebuild the trust of his party and his voters if he is to have any chance at the presidency in the future.

Rudy Guilliani for Attorney General -- he has strong opinions on the cases against Hillary Clinton, as well as crime, corruption, and the War on Terror. He'll be a happy warrior as he cleans out the Justice Department stables.

Another one I'd like to see return to public service is former Virginia attorney general Ken Cucinnelli. He did a wonderful job organizing the group of states attorneys general to fight Obamacare through the courts.

Joe Arpaio heading ICE -- yes!!

And John Bolton -- it would be great fun to send Mr. Bolton back to the UN after their vacation with whatsername.

Secretary of State is a bit of a pickle. The clean up needed there is going to be another labour of Hercules -- the rot long precedes Mrs. Clinton, and is going to need a prosecutor's zeal as well as a diplomat's touch to handle that side of things.

#24 Why not give State to Bolton?

The UN, is it important anymore?

#28 Keep Kerry on...

What is your reasoning, Pappy?

#29 Put Bolton back at the UN. That'd sure be fun.

Put Newt in at DoS.

Guiliani 8 years ago would have been a great AG but he looks like he's getting kinda old. Maybe Christi, especially if he has a hot line to Guiliani so he can ask for help and advice.

#30 I really like the idea of Arpaio at ICE!!!

#31 Whatis your reasoning, Pappy?

He has a good working relationship with the Russians, especially FM Lavrov. Notice that they haven't directly disparaged him.

From my sources, he has a good rep among career State personnel, unlike his predecessor. He's also expressed frustration with the Obama inner-circle.

Even if it's only short term, his staying on might buy some international breathing room for Mr. Trump and his administration to articulate a coherent foreign policy (especially if there's aspects the others won't like.)

Lastly, it'll make the Left's heads spin.

#32 I've waited 8 years for this. F*ck liberals, feckless cuckservatives, and all their fellow travelers. Schadenfreude is a dish best served hot.

#33 One thing I'd like to bury now that Clinton's career is dead is that phrase "Cuck". F you that use it. You are more about revenge than winning, get over yourself, we can use a lot of those people. Its associated with racists and Sturmers and internet dimwits. It made Trump a lot harder to defend.

#37 #22 Dreaming...TW, I like the way you think. Where is it best for Trey Gowdy? Joe Arpaio heading ICE -- yes!! LOL but a great idea. Soros dumped a lot of money into Arpaio's race to defeat him.
