their angle here is pretty clear but it does raise the question donald trump as he makes these deliberations, do they have his ear? does a huckabee, does a gingrich, do anti-mitt romney forces have his ear? i think gingrich probably has his ear to some extent. he was an early adopter that got on the trump train early while a lot of other republicans were still dragging their feet. and a lot of this comes down to these are loyalists and these mitt romney in the latter category. rudy giuliani in the former category. one thing i think we have to look at with the devos pick. some of the folks on the transition team executive committee is an appeal not just to the gop establishment but to the gop establishment donor class. obviously, mitt romney has a huge rolodex. probably the best on the right of major donors. devos is a major donor. mercer on the transition committee.
