WASHINGTON (AP) - Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani emerged as the favorite to serve as secretary of state in Donald Trump's incoming administration, a senior Trump official said as the president-elect narrowed down his Cabinet picks.

The official said there was no real competition for the job and that it was Giuliani's if he wanted it. The official was not authorized to speak on the record and requested anonymity.

Giuliani, a top Trump adviser, said Monday night at a Washington event sponsored by the Wall Street Journal that he "won't be attorney general" in Trump's administration - a job for which the former federal prosecutor had been seen as a top contender even before Trump's election.

Here's a dark horse candidate for SoS for ya - how about Liz Cheney?

Rudy doesnt make any sense and hope it's just speculation however - he would probably excel at it.....

Seems like an odd spot for him, I’m 100% behind this if it pushes Bolton out of the picture. That guy is not to be trusted.

Trump said that he would pick South Carolina representative and chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi Trey Gowdy as his attorney general. Guess who Gowdy will prosecute? Popcorn and champagne time.

Rudy would be a crappy diplomat. And I’m a fan of the guy.

Rudy as Sec. of State would be the worst possible nightmare for the Clinton/State Dept. cabal.

They’ll probably have to build a whole new prison wing somewhere.

In other words, it never happened, and is an entirely made up story.

Misdirection. Either that or Rudy is asking for the job at State and it would be hard to turn him down.

Or ... stick with me here ... in what department is all the evidence of massive international influence peddling for donations to the Clinton family trust? And who has the best organized crime investigative chops to dig up evidence from the inside, using all the authority of the cabinet officer in charge? Take down the Clintons and their entourage (and the Obama's, who after all were ultimately responsible) and you'll cripple the Democrats for a decade or more.

“This makes no sense.”

All they are doing at this point is to try and sell newspapers. Whether there is any truth to the matter is way down the list of priorities.

I don’t see the fit at all.

Rudy Giuliani for AG is my personal preference.
