I think it's a great opportunity:

Already went on there and expressed concern about our leadership run amok and the increased social engineering in the military.

Recommend many of you do the same.

Stay true to the issues you ran on, they are what got you elected, it is not your job to play nice with the left or be taken in by Obamas personal wishes, these people loathe you and they loathe those of us who voted for you. The R's do this every time they get in power, they think they have to please the other side and it is their downfall.

He needs to clean house with the SECDEF and Branch SEC's, clean out the Pentagon staff of social agenda agents of social change to include the massive staffs full of GS;s like the CENTCOM debacle, GS union protections, Officers who sold out to support the agenda and looked out for their career first over the troops like a cancer cell they can't leave one cancer cell in the military or it will spread again this includes NCO's the military has no place for socially ambiguous people.

The liberals irrational reaction and destruction of property over this election should concern everyone if their is an irrational group who would celebrate martyrdom for the cause it is them. IMO we came so close to losing this country as we know it we can not simply think they will come around and support.

BTW anyone here the rant about Colin Kaepernick not voting

Well, the issues that he covered in his speech at Gettysburg a few weeks back anyways.........

That paid maternity leave and minimum wage increase madness is a bunch of hot liberal garbage.

Honestly, the man really dialed in his message the last month or so of the campaign and I salute him for that. I think the best service we can all do is remain critical of him to ensure that he does not run amok once again due to the Hannity and Coulter effect.

Yes, but with that being said........many of those in the mainstream so called "conservative media" did a horrible job of that during the general election and it almost.........almost cost us the election.

Had he not dialed himself in the last month or so, the 90% of "conservatives" who voted for him..........may not have. If he had continued down the line of the "paid maternity leave and minimum wage increases"............I certainly think that we would have been screwed. His message about bringing in Bernie supporters was a fallacy as Democrats will generally always come home to roost.

Ayotte for SecDef???

Not sure why this is being bantered about. How about someone with knowledge of how the DoD works.

This is foolish in my opinion. Not seeing where she has any experience to hold this position.

I frankly would prefer his team NOT pander to the traditional GOP policy establishment, whether it be to mend a gender fence, appease neo-cons, or any other reason. Not particularly thrilled with some other cabinet names being "floated" but that's what they do sometimes is just toss a name out there & gauge reaction.

He can go below the traditional tier/4-star equivalent people to find the talent to do what's needed. If his transition team doesn't understand that, then we have a problem.

Great, another carpet bagger, rejected by her own state.

There has been an economic bubble created the last 8 years for a particular industry.
The bubble may pop now, and they are deserving of bailout package.

The industry: firearm and ammunition manufacturers.
