IMO, which means nothing, Trump is carefully selecting the SoS since that position will be one of the most important people to convey his message to this world. Selecting someone like the horrible choices odumbo made (Hitlary, Kerry, etc.) would be a disaster of significant proportion. The SoS position IS an extension of Trump’s agenda, not some free wheeling grafter like Clinton was.
That’s the way I see it. If there is anything that indicates to me Trump understands the nature of some of the problems he is going to face, it is his cabinet nominees. They are serious and talented, not political hacks.
Example: James Mattis vs. Ash Carter.
