Is there anyone who ISN’T in consideration for Secretary of State?

Interesting that I trust “The Guardian” more than I trust NBC.

Nope. Mishandling classified material is absolutely disqualifying for that job. Even Mitt Romney would be better than Petraeus, not that Romney is a good choice either.

What a great idea - give consideration to/hire the guy who illegally hands over classified info to his mistress.

The fifth-column media has now collapsed into a journalistic black hole where nothing intelligent, informative, or believable can escape.

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

Can’t wait for the Rose Ceremony when he “breaks up” with the bottom tier candidates.

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.
