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)

I choose any of the last three.
Sarah Palin.
Because Rice dissed him like Romney.
General Petraeus probably has the broadest base of relevant experience, but he has one serious strike - getting framed for illegal possession of classified material outside of secure locality, and sharing it with a person who, though she also had similar clearance, was not a designated recipient.
And I call it “getting framed” because of the HUGE and repeated breaches committed with apparently willful aforethought by Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless. That was airily dismissed by a totally corrupt Department of Just-Us, for purely political reasons. Petraeus was held accountable, Herself has not yet been brought to account.
Fortunately Herself was not elected to the Presidency, and it is no longer her call. Or of the Clinton News Network.
Further on down the road, CNN would be sure to bring up the previous lapse of General Petraeus, and use it to beat him over the head repeatedly. This was their crafty way of inserting an issue for later “exposure”, and proceed to further discredit the Trump Administration for “bad choices”.
Or Jean Francois Querrie...who by the way served there.
Dr Sebastinn Gorka.
“Someone mentioned John McCain. Would take him out of Senate.
Then fire his ash and put Bolton in.”
You are uncommonly perceptive.
And exquisitely cruel.
I like it.
I will go with Bolton. Petraeus is my second choice.
No Romney!
Gen Kelly or Former Smg Bolton
Chuck Norris. However, they’ll have to change the name to “Minister of State” or something like that. Chuck Norris isn’t anyone’s secretary.
Rudy is the best of this group, the rest are tied in too tightly to Neocon policy which ended up creating the disorder in the Middle East including the Islamic State.
Well then, why not have her come in for an interview just like they did with Romney?
Maybe Rice holds a grudge better than Romney.
Anybody but Snake Romney.
Bolton has the right kick-ass temperament AND the experience to hit the ground running. Rudy’s ramp up time would take too long to get anything of substance done quickly. Romney is a pansy and would be a complete waste of time and a bitter disappointment to everyone but his immediate family.
Petraeus is a globalist with poor judgment. Romney is a big govt RINO. Bolton is a neo con.
That leaves Newt who does not want it, Rudy who would be fine and as Newt said there are at least 20 other people better than Romney.
We’ll see
Now there is a candidate who actually makes sense.
He needs to be contrasted with idiot candidates Like Giuliani, Romney, and Corker every time they are suggested.
RUDY Giuliani.... Ruuudy , Ruudy, Rudy!
Romney is an insult to every Trump voter!
