Gov. Brainfart kissing up to the Orange Toxic Megacolon.

As seen by his statement

"I appreciate the invitation that President-elect Trump extended to my wife and me today. I'm in New York on an economic development mission and I truly appreciated the opportunity to meet. We had a very cordial conversation about the role Iowa played in his overall success by winning 93 or 99 counties and flipping 34 counties that previously went for President Obama. It's clear that his jobs message resonated with Iowans and the rest of the country. It's refreshing to see his bold leadership that will put people to work, give power back to the states and Make America Great Again.

We also talked about the transition and his new Administration. He is putting together a great cabinet that will serve the American people well. While there has been speculation regarding an appointment to serve in this Administration, I have no announcement to make at this time."

Illinois is right across the river and I've been there many times. It's a mess but at least Dems still have some stroke.

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2016-12-07/trump-said-to-pick-iowa-governor-branstad-as-china-ambassador

President-elect Donald Trump offered the post of U.S. ambassador to China to Iowa Governor Terry Branstad, a longtime friend of Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to three people close to the matter.

Branstad, a Republican, has accepted the offer, said the three people, who asked for anonymity.

The decision comes at a time of heightened tensions with China after Trump abandoned almost four decades of diplomatic protocol on Dec. 2 by speaking directly with the leader of Taiwan, which Beijing considers a rogue province. Trump has been critical of China’s currency policies and military build-up. He hasn’t named his choice for secretary of state, the top U.S. diplomatic post.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang called Branstad an “old friend” of that nation’s people.
