I think General Petraeus would make an excellent Secretary of State.

Sheriff David Clarke. He knows how to deal with crooks and criminals.

As much as I like Petraeus in many ways, his mishandling of classified material makes him unacceptable.

I know I'm in the minority, but I think Mitt's a good choice. Efficient, bright, not-very-ideological - he'll do as he's told while trying not to make waves or a name for himself.

I think Rudy's slipping a bit mentally and too stubbornly independent for SoS.

No Petreaus
Hiring another SOS with problems handling classified material properly is a real poor start fir an administration that needs to pursue hillary Clinton for gross negligence and worse
Much less hiring the guy who was cia director during benghazi and did Jack squat to squelch the administration lies and coverup that led to the deaths of those men

All those credentials and a man can be so stupid to have an affair and share sensitive data. Patraeus is a risk.

Please not Romney. He couldn’t even deal with Candy Crowley and Obama.

He damn sure won’t be able to deal with Putin.

It’s Trump’s call, but Mittens is King of the Schmoes, with Joe Biteme his chancellor.

No. State has a classified material problem. Can’t put a guy with a classified material problem in charge.

Sounds just like Colin Powell 2.0 except with more ethical baggage

The best of making Petraeus Secretary of State would be when Trump says “after all, we’ve been told that mishandling classified information is not a disqualifier.”

No Romney.

He could be Sec of VA or Head of OMB. Not State.

For State - how about Huckaby? Loyal, happy face but I think he can be tough behind closed doors.

Still say Bolton...he knows the ins and outs and knows everyone. Well educated internationally which is where Romney and Guiliani are lacking.

He needs Guiliani here at home. Maybe Homeland Security.

The problem with Petraeus is that we're screaming about Hillary and her emails...and he was already convicted. Can't play games....let him be an outside advisor.

Throw us Italians a bone!!!!

Rudy was his right hand man throughout the election and is a stand up guy.

I see people throwing every other name out like he wouldn’t be a GREAT SOS!!

He THREW arafat out of a theater, he SHUT DOWN sharpton for eight years, something both the senate and house couldn’t do.

He also shut out jackson.

He told black kids who asked how to pay for college to get jobs.

He’s a FIERCE defender of Israel...

Petraeus?!?!

What if he gets a girlfriend?

Getting kind of annoyed at the knee jerk NO to Rudy being SOS

It looks like the poll over at Breitbart is still open even though they declared Giuliani the winner. I just voted.

Rudi Guiliani was loyal to Trump and deserves a high ranking position. But I see him in a domestic role, not as Secretary of State.
