While Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough has been regularly defending Donald Trump ever since his election last week, he has expressed fear about some of Trumps top appointees so far.
On Friday, Scarborough said that Trump desperately needs to appoint someone like Mitt Romney as Secretary of State to balance out the frightening array of hotheads that will be on his staff such as chief strategist Steve Bannon, National Security Adviser pick Michael Flynn, and reported Attorney General pick Jeff Sessions.
In fact, Scarborough said that if Trump doesnt start choosing more moderate people for these key positions, the consequences would be immediate and dire.
If youre going to get a couple loyalists that have said some crackpot things in the past, you better have some steady hands at state, at defense, and at treasury or this goes into a full blown meltdown, he said. And listen to them or this goes into a full blown meltdown a bad as Bill Clintons in 1993 when he took office.

Scarborough's just pissed because he and Mika haven't been selected for any positions (yet).

(1,188 posts)that being the case I look for it to happen either late in the third year or early in the fourth year of the Trump administration.
