Done hileman is managing editor of Bloomberg Politics and cohost of the surface an show time a division of cbs. Happy monday. Here we go. Thanksgiving is this week. Yes. A lot to be thankful about. Oh, certainly. What do you think of the transition so far . Well, i think its there obviously have been stumbles and its been more chaotic, and everyone observed that this is a president elect and his team that did not expect to be president elect, and having to do what theyre doing at the level of trying to staff up this government, 4,000 jobs to fill. They have been moving with some with some herky jerky way and not really why, obama didnt announce any of his appointments until december 1st. This is a transparent process. Hes parading all of the people in front of the cameras. Heres who im looking at. Youre absolutely im talking about the fact that on the levels of appointments, cabinet levels hes not behind at all and thats what i was going to stay a second ago. I think the reality is for a lot of the agencies that were still waiting for the letters to allow them to proceed with the transition, they still havent actually signed some of those letters, major government agencies. So theyre behind in terms of the broad scale things filling 4,000 jobs. Theyre not behind in terms of the appointments to cabinet the Transition Teams in the middle. Lets talk about the picks so far. We just heard our Vice President elect say that donald trump will represent all of the people of the country. But when you look at the picks so far, there are some troubling finds, some say, about lack of diversity, should people be concerned or is this way too early to talk about that . Its obviously early in the sense that theres still a lot of jobs to fill. I think its, you know, if you were a nonwhite american, many nonwhite americans have concerns about this administration from the getgo in terms of the way the campaign was prosecuted and so on. Looking at the current away of choices, it is a very monochromatic group, and not just monochromatic group but a hardline group ideologically and in the past some of those people Jeff Sessions, steve bannon, general flynn, where they have made comments that raise concerns in addition to the color of their skin. I think it would be a smart thing for the trump team to move to get some diversity in order to kind of reassure the many millions of americans who are a little worried some names yes, right. Lets talk about the job of secretary of state. Yeah. Is romney in your judgment from your sources a serious contender as mike pence said . Yes. What does he bring to the table . And how would he then turn to a man who supported him as diligently as Rudy Giuliani and say sorry, im embarrassing you, but i believe romneys best. I think donald trump has had some hard conversations with people in the past. And i think he probably had that one. There are other jobs out there. The problem is Rudy Giuliani has been pretty clear that the only job he wants is secretary of state. It will be a
