    Donald Trump's transition team has prepared a preliminary list of potential Cabinet members for his upcoming administration.

    The list obtained by BuzzFeed News reveals a number of familiar faces including Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich and others being weighed for multiple positions.

    In total, the list includes 41 names and covers 14 different departments. A source told BuzzFeed that the list is not final, and will likely be changed in the future.

    Attorney general picks include Chris Christie, Jeff Sessions and Rudy Giuliani.

    Newt Gingrich, John Bolton and Bob Corker are listed as potential picks for the secretary of State.

    Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus is the only name listed under chief of staff, while Sessions is also the only one being considered for director of Office of Management and Budget.

    Potential secretary of Commerce picks include Christie and Huckabee, while Carson is under consideration to be secretary of Education.

    Christie is also being weighed for secretary of Homeland Security, and Carson, Gingrich and Florida Gov. Rick Scott are potential picks for secretary of Health and Human Services.

    Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin also makes a surprise appearance on the shortlist, mentioned as one of seven potential candidates to become the Secretary of the Interior.
    Not too big on Christie or Priebus for any position but the rest are ok IMHO..

    I SO hope Palin gets a ticket. Would love to see some lose their lunch for 4 years over her having a position. I think she would do a fine job.

    He is wise in his choices. He's surrounding himself with people of experience, knowledge, power,
    and influence.

    So many liberals thought he would govern like a loose cannon. But liberals prefer the term 'rule'
    rather than 'govern'.

    Palin as Secretary of the Interior overseeing the BLM, NPS and USGS?

    Perfect!

    How cool is it that I personally know a member of Trump's cabinet?

    I've got to imagine that is a real delight.

    I knew one who was a temporary Secretary of HLS...a retired USCG Admiral, James Loy.
    I was his catcher for our base softball team back in 1978/79, and helped write most of the
    survival swimming curriculum we taught to OCS cadets in the wake of the Cuyahoga accident.

    The idiot that has had ZERO control over the RNC for ANY position? I wouldn't make him head hall monitor at an elementary school.
