This is going to be a fun first term. Trump won bigly and your side lost bigly (forget the tired and incorrect "but clinton had more votes" meme as it's not the way we elect presidents). It would be a refreshing change to have cabinet members with actual experience in the areas they're picked for. Business is NOT bad so putting an oil person in for the Dept. of Energy is, potentially, a great move.
Chill. Rumors of all his horseholders and sycophants getting cabinet positions are likely just that. Trump is a MBA. He knows you are only as good as your staff. Trump should know by now that these people aren't qualified. As far as "insiders", well what is he supposed to do? He couldn't find it with both hands when it comes to running the country. He is going to need people who actually understand the issues and know how things get done. I heard Jamie Dimon for Treasury. My opinion of Trump would jump a good deal if he actually made that appointment.
His nominees for fiscal positions will have to pass muster with Sanders and Warren. He is going to need them and the progressive dems to get anything done in terms of trade. The establishment Rs will fight him on that. I'm betting that Trump is a pragmatist first, a rogue democrat second and an establishment republican third. There will be some strange bedfellows in this administration (of course, if he blows the world up with nukes all bets are off).

I could see that happening. Stephen Bannon is pegged near the top for his chief of staff. They think they got the secret sauce. We shall see.

Seems like you calmed down? I though I was going to see you on TV protesting.

No they don't. Thanks to Harry Reid, all appointments only need 51 votes. The Democrats can stuff it.
First up is Hillary Clinton for Ambassador to Libya.
