Right-wing WI GOP Gov. and enemy of labor everywhere Scott Walker says he has no interest in filling the newly-available position in the Cabinet as Donald Trump's Secretary of Labor.
Not to worry: Trump would never give the job to someone who zinged him in an early GOP Presidential debate as "an apprentice in the White House," and who would bring to Washington and anywhere the new Labor Secretary of Labor might show the flag his own dedicated swarm of protesters.
And Walker's smart enough not to swim towards President Ahab's doomed ship (of state), so look to Trump and his handlers to find a cookie-cutter corporate cipher willing, like Walker, to tout $7.25 as a living wage, but from whom Trump could expect regular flattery.
But that's not to say that Walker and Trump's futures aren't destined to merge.
I can imagine powerful Republicans in DC with Wisconsin connections plugging Walker in should Indiana bestie Mike Pence suddenly need a Veep, as I theorized, here.
Strange Vice-Presidential materializations and Presidential successions have happened before. Gerald Ford was appointed Vice-President by Richard Nixon when Spiro Agnew had to leave town and got the rest of the enchilada shortly thereafter when Nixon was excused, too.
Such are the dreams of Presidential aspirants.
Labor secretaries? Not so much.
