He is, you know, I don’t think for a minute that he intends to be led by the nose by anything like a cabinet or anything like that, but I do think this obviously reflects a mindset, and to a certain extent it reflects his intentions. So we’ll see, obviously, what happens. Let’s get him in office first, but this is not — you know, this isn’t a working-class cabinet.”
