President Mike Pence–Could it be possible?

As we continue on down the post election road, the new cabinet candidates are waiting in the wings.  We’ve seen a few of the waiting workers and those who will surround President Elect Trump as he puts together his team.  From what we have seen so far, rather than drain the swamp, he is adding to it.  Nearly all of his choices are Wall Street connected, existing members of Congress or large donors to his campaign.  Nothing new here, just a different party.  Many of those submitted are Tea Party members.  Regarding getting rid of lobbyists, those who are existing lobbyists can just de-register as lobbyists, cross over the street and become a consultant.
