The Note: Trump, Ryan Rekindle Goodwill

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here. December 14, 2016 MORE POLITICS > Trump, Ryan Rekindle Goodwill Trump Praises Paul Ryan President-elect Donald Trump appeared in Wisconsin Tuesday to thank supporters and Republican politicians for supporting his bid for the White House -- and took a markedly different tone towards House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., with whom he clashed at times during the campaign season, reports ABC's BENJAMIN SIEGEL. "I've come to appreciate him," Trump said. "He's like a fine wine. Every day I appreciate his genius more and more." He added, "We're going to work on that wall, Paul." Tuesday's rally is the first time Ryan and Trump have appeared on stage together. They've met in person twice since the election: at Trump Tower last week, and in Washington just days after Trump won the presidency. http://abcn.ws/2hla7zL READ MORE   Analysis - ABC's RICK KLEIN Hillary 2020? Let's agree to put a pause on all such talk until at least the inauguration. But how else to explain her campaign operation's decision – five weeks after a decisive Electoral College loss – to encourage electors be allowed to get classified intelligence briefings on the extent of Russian interference? Reverence for Alexander Hamilton notwithstanding, the Clinton team knows that exerting independent judgment is not what the Electoral College does. Those involved also know there's no mechanism for gathering 538 individuals scattered across 51 jurisdictions into an intelligence briefing, much less getting them the required security clearances before they cast their votes next week. John Podesta's statement in support of a briefing for electors marks the most aggressive attempt by Clinton aides to call the election's results into question. It carries far more weight than support for recounts, in the statement's implications. As for the politics, why have the Clinton operation on record in this way unless Hillary Clinton herself wants to be in the political mix moving forward? And in the short term, is anyone happier that this story is morphed into a political one than Donald Trump, who prefers these grapes taste sour? Trump Picks Rep. Ryan Zinke for Interior Secretary President-elect Donald Trump today offered Rep. Ryan Zinke of Montana the job of secretary of the interior in his administration, senior Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said on Fox News last night. When reached by ABC News, a spokeswoman for Zinke declined to comment on whether he has accepted the position. "Today the president-elect offered the spot to congressman Zinke," Conway said. "It was a very competitive process and wonderful candidates." http://abcn.ws/2hwcVZ5 READ MORE   Kanye West Says He Discussed 'Multicultural Issues,' Chicago Violence With Trump President-elect Donald Trump met with rapper Kanye West at Trump Tower today, discussing "multicultural issues," bullying and violence in Chicago, according to the rapper. Trump appeared to have a slightly different take on the meeting, saying the men "discussed life." "We've been friends for a long time," Trump said, calling West a "good man." After the meeting, West initially declined to elaborate on what was discussed: "I just want to take a picture right now," he said.

But Rubio is the only skeptical Republican, so far, who has the power to derail Tillerson's nomination before it reaches the Senate floor. The Florida senator sits on the upper chamber's 19-member Foreign Relations Committee, before which Tillerson's nomination hearing will take place, writes ABC's ALI ROGIN. http://abcn.ws/2gx6PFv READ MORE   Analysis: For Secretary of State, Trump Chooses Fight Over Flight Donald Trump's search for a secretary of state took him on an ideological tour of the political world he upended, only for him to land basically where he started. Trump's unique reality show of a search process cycled through former rivals, sitting senators, Bush administration officials, establishment figures and even a certain onetime presidential nominee who famously called him a "phony," a "fraud" and a "con man," writes ABC's RICK KLEIN. http://abcn.ws/2gIJrbG READ MORE   Rick Perry Once Forgot the Name of the Agency He May Lead Donald Trump has announced his intent to nominate a man to lead the Department of Energy who infamously forgot its name. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry is Trump's pick for secretary of energy — a surprise to some, since Perry previously said he would eliminate the agency if he had his way, ABC's MEGHAN KENEALLY notes. During a presidential primary debate on CNBC in 2011, when then-candidate Perry was listing "three agencies of government, when I get there, that are gone," he was able to name Commerce and Education but blanked on the third, saying, "What's the third one there?" http://abcn.ws/2gXy2lY READ MORE   FOLLOW ABC NEWS You Might Like This email was sent to bamsdum.xiomi@blogger.com Please do not reply to this email as this address is not monitored.
