"if Sanders were to leave earlier, Trump is high on former Fox & Friends anchor Heather Nauert"

[Miles Archer]

Trump’s decision to double down on the family-separation policy is sowing chaos in the West Wing, two sources close to the White House told me. For the second day in a row, Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders—already eyeing an exit, though not for months—did not hold an on-camera briefing with reporters. “She’s tired of taking on water for something she doesn’t believe in,” a friend of Sanders told me. “She continues to have a frustration that the policies are all over the map,” another person close to her said. “It’s not a good look for Sarah.” According to sources, if Sanders were to leave earlier than expected, Trump is high on former Fox & Friends anchor Heather Nauert, who’s currently the State Department spokesperson, to be his next press secretary. “Trump loves her,” one former administration official said. (The White House did not respond to a request for comment.)

1. That's that moron years ago who scored a gig at Faux by being one of Al Gore's students after

the 2000 coup, then showing up on O'Loofa's show to mock Gore.

2. I do not believe she is opposed to all of this and think she finds sick joy in promoting them.

I have upheld policies I disagreed with in business. They were not unethical or immoral policies. They were simply policies I disagreed with. I was able to uphold them without deviating from my own standards.

SHS is supporting and promoting these policies. She is not being forced to do so. She is every bit as sick as the policies themselves.

3. Does Nauert want to be the face of hate?

[jmowreader]

6. She was on Fox, remember?

Being “the face of hate” and “dressing like a Playboy model” are what you do when you’re on Fox.

4. Gosh, how did I know what she'd look like even before clicking?

[Miles Archer]

5. Google Image Search

That's where I found the one I posted. But if you do a Google Image Search on her, you'll know exactly why Trump "loves" her and is "high on her."

8. For a RWNJ,

she is cute though.....I know, that's no excuse ..... (slinks away....)

7. What? E D Hill isn't available? N/T.

9. Remember when they hired jounalists or seasoned reporters for this job ....

But she does have a pretty good education:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Nauert

She attended Pine Manor College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from Mount Vernon College for Women. She received her master's degree in Journalism from Columbia University.[4]



She also had a pretty good career:

Journalism

In 1996, Nauert was a reporter for the syndicated weekly business program, First Business. She worked for Fox News from 1998 to 2005, first as a contributor for three years then as a correspondent for four years. During her time as a correspondent she regularly contributed to The Big Story.[4]

From 2005 to 2007, Nauert held positions at a number of different news organizations, including ABC News as a general assignment correspondent, where she contributed to World News Tonight, Good Morning America and Nightline. While there, she received an Emmy nomination for her work on the special series, 13 Around the World.[4]

Nauert has done newscasts Good Day Early Call and Good Day New York Wake Up with co-anchor Steve Lacy weekday mornings, for Fox owned-and-operated station WNYW in New York City. In October 2012, Nauert left Good Day Wake Up.[5]

In 2007, Nauert returned to Fox News as co-host with John Gibson of the weekday edition of The Big Story.[4]

Nauert has also worked as a government affairs consultant on issues including health insurance, Social Security and taxes. She was also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.[4]


Current acting Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs and Spokesperson for the United States Department of State since March 13, 2018 and April 24, 2017, respectively.[


She's a much better choice than Huckleberry.

11. Sarah's never been ready for her close-up...she is NOT a "people person" at all.

Sanders took ALL of her cues from Miller..."The president WILL NOT be questioned."

And, for the most part, the press corps insured their ongoing access by swallowing it every time.

There are 1000 ways to say "kiss my ass" without actually saying "kiss my ass." Sanders only knows one way. A "good" press secretary can get away with all kinds of crap if they have the charm to pull it off. Sanders has no charm. She belongs in an off-camera office job. And this nonsense about not wanting to go on camera because the subject matter upsets her is sheer nonsense. Quit. Soon.

12. Her education and abilities makes her qualified for campaign work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Huckabee_Sanders

Huckabee attended Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. There, she was elected student body president and was active in Republican organizations. In 2004, she graduated from the university with a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in political science and minoring in mass communications.[6][7][8]

Sanders got her start in politics as a field coordinator for her father's 2002 reelection campaign for Governor of Arkansas. She was a regional liaison for congressional affairs at the U.S. Department of Education under President George W. Bush.[10] She also worked as a field coordinator for President Bush’s re-election campaign in Ohio in 2004.[11]

Sanders is a founding partner of Second Street Strategies in Little Rock, Arkansas, a general consulting services provider[12] for Republican campaigns.[13] She worked on national political campaigns and on campaigns for federal office in Arkansas. Sanders was also vice president of Tsamoutales Strategies.[11] She was national political director for her father's 2008 presidential campaign. She was also a senior adviser to Tim Pawlenty in his 2012 presidential run. She was involved in the campaigns of both U.S. senators from Arkansas, managing John Boozman's 2010 campaign and serving as an adviser to Tom Cotton's 2014 election. After her father's 2008 campaign, she worked as executive director of Huck PAC, a political action committee.[11] She also was national campaign manager for the ONE Campaign, an international organization aimed at ending global poverty and preventable diseases.[11][12]

In 2016, after managing her father's presidential campaign, she signed on as a senior advisor for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, handling the Trump campaign's communications for coalitions.[14][15]

10. "Trump is high on former Fox & Friends anchor Heather Nauert"

My very first thought: she's blonde and attractive.

bingo

[marble falls]

13. She's got a whole lot more going for her than that. See post #9 ....

She does have the "Fox" look. It'll be interesting to see what she does, but maybe she does not want that gig.

14. I stand by my comment

Reading the OP's post, "tRump is high...", through the thread including post #9, to the end where I commented. My first thought was and remains: she's blonde and attractive - the trump/fox look. And that was before opening the thread with the photo.

Yes, it does appear she's qualified and has paid her dues to arrive at where she's at. She would likely be far better at that job than the SHS. However, I just can not commend tRump for a source-based remark or decision founded on merit, qualifications or best course of action. That track record just isn't there. For him it's all about perception and how it affects him.

16. But then we are talking about cheetolini. If she's smart she's got a plan to get back broadcasting.

15. Oh yeah, I forgot:

I agree with you.
