Rumour has it that Sarah Palin is the lead candidate to head the VA department.

I can really see the left's heads explode if this one comes to pass.

Literally could not be worse than any of the dopes Obama put in that slot.

Yikes....

I'm sure Trump promised her some big role in his administration when she was campaigning for him. He should find some role where she can be a figurehead and not have to worry as much about the nitty gritty details. This job is the opposite of that.

Partisan politics shouldn't be involved in this one. People on all sides would agree the VA is broken and needs to be fixed. Appoint the most far right conservative you can find, I don't care, just appoint someone who is qualified. A former general maybe? Someone with more then half a term of executive experience maybe?

Hope this is just noise from the Palin camp. Our vets deserve better than this.

Bad choice as she brings nothing to the table. I'd much rather see a retired military man (or woman) at the helm. Heck, it might be a great spot for McCain's sunset ride.

I'd be fine with her at Interior since her stint as governor of Alaska would have required her to deal with Interior and many of the issues facing that department.

Welp, if this comes to pass it looks like Tina Fey is going to have more appearances on SNL again.

You know who I would appoint? A disabled veteran preferably one who has experience in leading. An officer for instance. That would be a winner with vets and the disabled vet. He/she would have more experience in dealing with the Veterans Administration. I know Palin has governorship experience but um, I'm not sold on her but I would accept her because of her experience.

RE: Want to scare a liberal... guess who might be the VA secretary?
The libs are already scared with President-elect Trump and GOP majorities. Palin isn't the worst choice for this position. As a former Governor, she knows how to administer with a team of support staff so it's not like she would be on an island. IIRC she has been a consistent, long time supporter of veterans and she was one of the first to publicly endorse Trump. This is not a surprise by any stretch.

I think far more scarier to the libs is the potential inclusion of North Dakota DEM Senator Heidi Heitkamp to a cabinet position:

Quote:President-elect Donald Trump is considering Democratic U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota for either the interior or energy secretary positions in his Cabinet, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.

In a statement, Heitkamp said she appreciated "the president-elect inviting me for a meeting," adding she hoped to "work with the president-elect and all of my colleagues in Congress on both sides of the aisle to best support my state."

Heitkamp has been a supporter of domestic energy development, both in fossil fuels and renewable resources.

North Dakota is a major source of crude oil, coal and wind power.

She was elected to the Senate in 2012 in a close race, putting her up for re-election in two years. Should she join the Cabinet, her Senate seat would be filled by an appointment by North Dakota's Republican governor. Republicans expect to hold 52 seats in the 100-seat chamber when the new Congress meets in January.

Being a supporter of veterans isn't enough of a qualification to run the VA. He needs someone that has experience with veteran's issues and at least some work in dealing with federal agencies. Palin may surprise and do great, but I'm not seeing it.

I'll preface this by saying I am not supporting or blasting Palin for any position until I hear her stance on the issues within the agency.


But IMO a former state Governor is the exact kind of person you want to lead an agency with as many different facets as the VA. The focus on the VA is always on the medical side but that is just one of many functions that the VA is charged to perform. From medical care to education to burial and much more, the VA isn't just a medical care administration. As a former Governor she (or anybody else) has experience as an administrator dealing with diverse topics.

Like I said I'm not endorsing nor decrying, but to announce she is unqualified for the job is false.
