I heard this on the radio on the way to work. Morning talk radio host (who has some serious experience in actual politics) was discussing this with a professor from Mary Washington.
Apparently even Mitch McConnell hates The COOCH. He been very open about that. As the professor pointed out, The COOCH has absolutely no experience in this area and would walk in with knives already drawn for him. They both agreed hed have better luck in a Czar appointment type situation in which he could be Trumps muscle on Capital Hill regarding immigration rather than head of DHS.

(182,632 posts)Do you ever get the feeling, Kris Kobach, that someone in the White House wants you not just just kneecapped but bleeding by the side of a road no one ever drives on?
First, back in February, Trump administration officials put out the word that that the former Kansas secretary of state need not apply for any top job in the administration. Kris is not under consideration for a Cabinet position, a senior aide declared.
And now, because you can never be too mindful when burying the dead, the White House has leaked a Kobachian list of demands. Apparently, he said hed only serve as President Donald Trumps immigration czar with a jet on call, and a few other musts that would make Kanye West blush.
On top of the jet, hed need a West Wing office, no intrusions on the weekends what, youre not pro-family? and a guaranteed promotion to secretary of homeland security by November.
