One of the (few) areas I could agree

with The Donald, and it was a main point in his 'win', was his vow to 'drain the swamp', in Washington. I think we can all agree Washington has become a non-functional, money-grubbing, screw-the -people environment. SO, when I see the names being put forward for his cabinet, I can only think, 'OMG!, more of the same, only WORSE'. Rudy Giuliani, Chris Christie and Newt Gingrich! You gotta be kidding. Just when I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, I see my country slipping away, as he brings in a slimy, odorous crew(R) of bottom feeders and 'Creatures From the Black Lagoon' to 'drain the swamp'.

For Mr. Trump, the new rules are important to realizing a campaign commitment to “drain the swamp” of Washington, to deliver wholesale change and to end corruption. Regrettably, the names being bandied about for high-profile roles in his administration — Newt Gingrich, Chris Christie and Rudy Giuliani — do not inspire confidence that such hopeful change is upon us.

These three relentlessly ambitious politicians, far from signaling something new and inspiring, represent a petty, vengeful past.

Together, these men carry enough battered political baggage to stretch from the government shutdown of 20 years ago in which Mr. Gingrich, as House speaker, was a principal provocateur, to the Bridgegate scandal of Mr. Christie’s benighted governorship of New Jersey. Speculation that Mr. Giuliani is under consideration for attorney general is particularly startling, considering he has been the Trump campaign’s attack dog on “crooked” Hillary Clinton, calling for a special prosecutor to be appointed after the election to continue the assault on her dodgy email habits.

Just when I was REALLY trying to be 'positive', we get this crap....
