We now have a list of people who Trump is considering for senior White House jobs. You’ll notice most of them are directly from his campaign staff, which I guess is to be expected:
via Daily Caller:
Donald Trump is contemplating naming a number of recognizable players from the 2016 campaign to serve in senior White House roles, according to an internal transition document obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller.
The list was provided by a member of the transition team on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the press. Described as a “working” document, it is being used to help the president-elect envision a White House staff structure, the source said. Some people are listed more than once.
Here is the list obtained by TheDC:
Assistant to the President and Chief of StaffStephen K. Bannon, Reince Priebus
Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.

I think that people don’t like that Bannon is being considered for his Chief of Staff. As Levin said last night, many of these picks will set the tone for his administration and it looks like there isn’t a lot of new blood in his list. Mostly campaign and DC insiders.
I would like to see a list of candidates for his cabinet positions, because that will be even more important.
