Do they:

A.) Split up Krugman's space among the existing crowd of talent-free rightwingers already on-staff (David Brooks, Ross Douthat, Maureen Dowd, Bret Stephens); or

B.) Pull in some newbie from trump's inner circle; or

C.) Replace Krugman with a talented, experienced liberal commentator?

Personally, I think C.) has about a 1-in-500 chance of happening.
