I want someone that will clean house - I doubt very much that Petraeus will do this.

Casting a wide net, being inclusive, helping to bring the country together.

How can Mitt or others be too critical after they’ve been considered for the Big Job? YOu know they’re flattering themselves thinking their country needs them, etc.

He’s about the 50th on the short list.

Trump said the other day that only he knows who he’s considering, so I’m taking all these breathless reports to be just made up stuff so that the media has something to do.

This is brilliant -- it underscores the seriousness of the crimes HRC committed, by using an unsecured server. The difference being she mishandled orders-of-magnitude more classified info, and did it to cover up other crimes (pay-to-play). It also points to a Democrat-set precedent for prosecuting those crimes.

Trump got the liberal media and everyone else going round and round.

Trump already has his Secretary of State picked. He’s doing the parade of candidates like Romney and now Petraeus just to mess with the media and the establishment, and it looks like also people on our side too. LOL
