Nasty Nick Ayers: the top candidate to succeed White House chief of staff Low Energy John Kelly

[basquebromance]

Trump is serious about wanting to tap Ayers after being impressed by his work on Pence’s midterm campaigning strategy. The president also spent the summer asking friends, advisers and former aides: “What do we think about Nick?” — something he often does when he’s privately considering a staff shake-up.

Now that the midterms are over, the administration is expected to go through more staff turnover, and there are reports that Kelly’s departure could come soon.
