Future Trump Cabinet prospects jostle in Cleveland
ERICA WERNER, AP Congressional Correspondent

CLEVELAND (AP) — Donald Trump need look no farther than this week's GOP crowd at the Quicken Loans Arena to assemble a future Cabinet.

There's New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, delivering a rousing speech widely seen as an audition for attorney general.

There's Rep. Jeff Miller of Florida, a potential future Veterans Affairs secretary, posing for pictures with vice presidential nominee Mike Pence.

And there's Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, seen by many as a would-be secretary of state, mingling with donors and greeting foreign ambassadors who are visiting Cleveland to observe the convention proceedings.

For these politicians and others, the Republican National Convention offers a singular opportunity to try to nominate themselves for posts in a future Trump administration even as Trump is being officially nominated for president.

Exclusive: Trump considering fracking mogul Harold Hamm as energy secretary - sources



"Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is considering nominating Oklahoma oil


and gas mogul Harold Hamm as energy secretary if elected to the White House on Nov. 8, according to four sources close to Trump's campaign."



"The chief executive of Continental Resources (CLR.N) would be the first U.S. energy secretary,


drawn directly from the oil and gas industry since the cabinet position was created in 1977,


a move that would jolt environmental advocates but bolster Trump's pro-drilling energy platform."



"Dan Eberhart, an oil investor and Republican financier, said he had been told by officials in Trump's campaign that Hamm,


who has been an informal advisor to Trump on energy policy since at least May, was "the leading contender" for the position."

Donald Trump’s Energy Plan: More Fossil Fuels and Fewer Rules


“We’re going to bring back the coal industry, save the coal industry,” he said. “I love those people.”

Trump Says He Would Be A Friend to Fracking



"U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) also helped introduce Trump and was lauded by the presidential candidate."


"Trump has talked little about energy so far in the campaign and is reportedly using Cramer as a leading policy adviser in this area."

The Bloviator tell's the fossil fools industry: “I will give you everything”:



“Yesterday in a press conference and speech in North Dakota, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced what some are


terming his energy policy.”


"His announcement was extremely short on specifics, included factual inaccuracies, and in some cases contained obvious internal contradictions”

The same clown who dismisses Wind Turbine Power because:


“Wind is killing all of the eagles, If you kill an eagle, you shoot an eagle, they want to put you in jail for five years.”


"Wind is killing hundreds and hundreds of eagles."



And Solar Power as: Too expensive.

It's looking like DT doesn't actually plan to be doing the president's job, but rather delegating it out. His cabinet secretaries will probably have more autonomy than ever before, while DT flies around in AF1 and plays golf. Once week they meet to have Apprentice-like sessions.
