The best chances we have are Ivanka and Jared, Mattis, Kelly, Tillerson, Mnuchin.
The other side of the coin: Flynn, Bannon, Sessions, Pruitt, Price, DeVos.
Then you have people that are either dumb or insanely unqualified like Carson, Perry, etc.
I think how bad this gets really depends on whether Trump relies more on Mattis/Tillerson or Flynn on foreign matters, and on everything else whether Ivanka/Jared or Bannon have more influence. So far it seems Flynn and Bannon have had much more influence. Flynn seems particularly terrifying. There are already reports of Flynn and Mattis butting heads over Pentagon appointments and Mattis threatening to quit.
