Is Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner going to be White House chief of staff? He has one-on-one talks with Obama's top aide as Trump meets president

    Spotted today at the White House: Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump's husband and White House chief of staff Denis McDonough
    McDonough took Kushner, who became one of President-elect Donald Trump's key campaign aides, on a 'full stroll' of the South Lawn
    The walk is leading to speculation that Kushner could become Trump's chief of staff

While President-elect Donald Trump met with outgoing President Barack Obama, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner was getting his introduction to White House life from chief of staff Denis McDonough.

This could be a sign that Trump is eyeing Kushner to be his chief of staff.

Kushner is marred to Trump's oldest daughter Ivanka, who also played a pivotal role in the billionaire's campaign.

Trump will turn 1600 Penn into a Trump Hotel, I wonder if they'll get underage interns to pimp out to the high rollers

I am watching for Priebus to land a spot. He had the vision to help Trump to victory, while "nevertrump" losers did not.

Another that might get a role is Ari Fleischer, who served skillfully as Bush II Press Secretary. The later one was awful.

You're right - nevertrumpers did not help Trump get elected, sorta by definition.

I can see Priebus getting a spot.  What about Stephen K. Bannon?  What do you think will happen with him?

Hannity discussed these names today. Bannon can go back to Breitbart, which clearly benefits from being on the winning side.
 
Like Bannon or not, Trump won. And they made very effective use of new media. I saw a ton of great material on Facebook during my self-imposed sabbatical from this joint.

While Trump has people new to government to select from, the democrats are looking at old, tired recyclables to head the DNC. Keith Ellison and Howard Dean, no less.
