This morning trump is broadening the scope of his search picking up the pace of the meetings and even mending some fences. The once bitter rivals now shaking it off. Went great. Reporter donald trump and mitt roll knit huddling for over an hour as the president elect courts the former republican nominee as the possible secretary of state. We had a farreaching conversation with regards to the various theaters in the world where there are interests of the United States of real significance. Reporter a far cry from this. Donald trump is a phony, a fraud. He had his shot. He didnt like it when i said he choked like a dog. Reporter trump also seems to be turning a new page with the press. These people are among the most dishonest people in the world, the media. Reporter staked outside in the cold. What do you need . Some hot chocolate . Hot chocolate. Well take care of it. First time in my life. Ill take good care of the press. Well get it out. Reporter it was a day of dizzying meetings. At trumps private golf club. A steady stream of cars pulling up with possible contenders including education reform activist Michelle Rhee. Rhees clashes with teachers unions and support for chartered schools were featured in the documentary, waiting for superman. We know kids are getting a crappy education right now. Reporter shes now being floated for education secretary. Went really great. Reporter and general james mattis for secretary of defense. Emerging from their meeting, trump was impressed. Hes just a brilliant, wonderful man. What a career. And were going to see what happens. But he is the real deal. Reporter now, the cabinet speed dating continues today on trumps long meeting list. Among others, Rudy Giuliani and chris christie. Paula. Feels a little bit look the apprentice. Thats the consensus here. But theres been a lot of meetings this weekend. We think he might make an announcement about more appointees, mary . Reporter hes been seeing tremendous talent come through the door and might be nearing more announcements possibly even today. Paula and dan. All right, mary. Thank you. Dan. Paula points out we want to find out whether that hot chocolate was ever delivered. Anyway, as we said, trump took time out for the work of assembling his administration to hit twitter, lashing out at the cast of hamilton. One of the actors said on the stage to incoming Vice President mike pence who was in the audience is causing an uproar, and abcs Kendis Gibson is outside the theater where it all went down. Kendis, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan. Hamilton remains the hottest ticket on broadway and is part of one of the biggest controversies since the election. The president elect going after the cast of the Tony Award Winning musical. You know, we have a guest in the audience this evening. Reporter this morning, the cast of hamilton, and the trump camp engaged in an allout duel. We see you walking out, but we hope you listen. We truly hope this show has inspired you to work on behalf of all of us. All of us. Reporter president elect donald trump taking a shot at the cast on twitter, demanding mike pence was harassed last night at the theater by the cast of hamilton. Cameras blazing. This should not happen. Within minutes, Brenda Dickson challenged trumps version of the story saying a conversation is not harassment. I appreciate mike pence for stopping to listen. With neither side apologizing the controversy now proving as decisive as the election. I dont think that any platform even broadway would be inappropriate. It was not appropriate. I was disappointed. To honest with you. Its a free country. If you want do that, you can. Reporter conservative critics calling to boycott hamilton. Pence allies Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee slamming the speech as an arrogant lecture. But their political rivals, including David Axelrod and new york city governor bill de blasio, praising the cast. So far the Vice President elect mike pence has not responded to the whole controversy but Linmanuel Miranda has tweeted his support to the message and to the cast. Dan, paula. Kendis gibson outside the room where it happened. Lets bring in Martha Raddatz in. She will be hosting this week. Martha, good morning. Good morning to both of you. Hi, martha. Thank you. Whatever you think of what the cast of hamilton said how politically wise was it for the president elect to take them on given the lingering concerns about both his temperament and his tolerance . Reporter i think its clear either way. Trump feels strongly about this. All the tweeting plays into the charge that hes thin skinned, he cant take criticism. But his supporters love when he fights back. In the end most americans are probably not paying attention, the very least have come to expect this kind of thing from trump and just kind of overlook it. So martha, mitt romney visited with donald trump yesterday. When we first heard this was going to happen, there was speculation this was just about a photoop. Is he serious about mitt romney . For secretary of state . Reporter well, so far, it is just a photoop. A sign of also a step for trump who holds grudges after mitt romney has said nasty things about him and calling him a phony and a fraud that they met at all is supposed to show trump is moving outside his inner circle with an openness to new people and new ideas. Well have to see. If he becomes secretary of state. So theres a concern about lack of diversity so far in the hiring we saw he brought in Michelle Rhee and nikki haley. But is there really any likelihood of a pick who is not a white male at this point . Reporter well, ill put those questions to his chief of staff, Reince Priebus later this morning. There are lots of space and theres lots of big names including general james mattis defense secretary and not all of them are men, white men like as you said former chancellor of d. C. Public schools Michelle Rhee who was also there yesterday. The five picks announced have all been white men. So the pressure is on. Speaking of white men, we hear that donald trump is going to be meeting with Rudy Giuliani and chris christie, two loyalists today, who may have fallen out of favor. Is there still room for them in the cabinet . Reporter well, you know, dan and paula, we know that loyalty is very important to trump. And they have been by his side through all the ups and downs through the campaign. Well see. Giuliani is still a contender for a couple positions including secretary of state. But christie is in a tougher spot tarnished by the bridgegate scandal and demoted on that transition team. He may really have a much tougher time with this. Paula and dan. Martha raddatz, thank you very much. Want to remind everybody martha has a big show speaking with Donald Trumps incoming chief of staff Reince Priebus and going to go oneonone with the newly elected Senate Minority leader, Chuck Schumer right here on abc. As always with martha, promises to be a great show. Lets talk about the weather now, and the nations first major snowstorm of the season after creating blizzard and whiteout conditions. In the upper midwest. Temperatures plunging up to 40 degrees in a single day.

The wind is starting to pick up. But were expecting to see a lot more of this today. Overnight, the seasons first big snowstorm on the move as parts of northeast prepare for snowfall. Whiteout conditions spanning from michigan to pennsylvania. Plows out in full force. Drivers taking it slow. Whipping winds a threat, too. Downed power lines causing two cars to catch fire. Got about four inches of snow, and as you can see, its still coming down. Reporter the snow accumulating quickly as the storm makes its way east. The pileup, too much for some residents. This stuff weighs a ton and im too old to be moving this. Reporter expecting 10 to 20 inches of accumulation. The storm bringing in a frigid cold front and temperatures plummeting up to 40 degrees in less than 24 hours. In West Virginia College Football fans undeterred by the weather.
