President-Elect Donald Trump has not yet announced his pick for Secretary of State, though the press has speculated on several prospective candidates. You, the Breitbart reader, were instrumental in Trump’s election victory and the continuing rise of America’s nationalist-populist movement. We want to know who you would prefer to serve as the country’s chief diplomat.
Former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton 27.94% (1,712 votes)
Former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney 7.62% (467 votes)
Former Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani 35.2% (2,157 votes)
U.S. Representative Dana Rohrabacher 2.77% (170 votes)
Former CIA Director David Petraeus 20.17% (1,236 votes)
Other: 6.3% (386 votes)

Appears most of us are picking “Rudy”, I hope Trump is listening.
i used to love her, but after her rino post on fb about trump pulling out of the election, i absolutely do not want her for anything. RINO, lap dog to the Bushes.
As long as they work in support of Trump’s agenda, I don’t care who is the SOS. It’s Trump’s decision, not mine.
Plus anyone not working out gets shown the door. Whoever gets it pleases the Donald or hears his trademark phrase.
That’s the way I see it.
:) I am so relieved people share my passion about this.
Too early to afford mistake like this. The world is a mess. We need solid team.

But Orange County is your breeding ground for conservatives, no?
Yeah for Sec State.
Have to go to the red states to find conservative professors. They do indeed exist.
Even in Ivy League Schools, there are many professors that are closet conservatives.
Just think we need some fresh faces.
Remember too that cabinet level posts are still bureaucratic so it will not fit or it would be difficult to find a private sector business type. So that’s why I was thinking of a professor type. They can deal with the endless meetings and greetings. In fact, esteemed professors are accustomed to entertaining visiting scholars from abroad. So I would think the job is not that far afield for them.
But please NO ROMNEY!
Bolton. He’s not likely to go off on his own agenda
Trump is less likely to be making a mistake than are you or I.

Why the patronization?
This is not a dictatorship. We don’t elect leaders because we think they know “better than us” - we elected Trump to be our voice and because he was speaking the things we already know to be true. We trust his judgment yes and thus far he has had a pretty good track record with regard to who he surrounds himself with.
He made restoring integrity to “The swamp” a centerpiece of his campaign.
The Secretary of State is 4th in line to the Presidency.
Character matters.
This is not your average business enterprise. This is the United States of America. The weight of history is upon us. Dignity counts.
The greater the height, the greater the fall and Mitt Romney is bad bad news. Unacceptable track record in terms of proving where his interests have always lied. Unacceptable behavior.
You are answering someone else, I think, or you only read every other word and extrapolate from a disjointed portion of the text..
I always make a point of watching when he is on FOX.
I would say Mittens should get the nod—He’s got the intelligence and the stature-BUT he must eat some crow and denounce what he said about Trump. He may not want the job—being 4rd in line to president. BUT Trump ought to keep him on a short leash—As long as he serves Trumps agenda—OK but if he starts to mouth off—he should be fired.
You said Trump is less likely to make a mistake than you or I: I say he needs the wisdom of the people who put him in office.
Bolton would work for me.....but just barely as I'm not all that enthusiastic about him for this particular appointment.
