I’m not a fan of Petraeus. I’ve heard awful things about his personality and how he treated people from friends at the CIA.

That said, I’ll take him over Romney in a heartbeat.

Trump could give Petraeus his name back.

Please, no. Petraeus has demonstrated that he has poor judgment as a senior leader, on more than one occaision. Better choices are available.

Not a guy convicted of mishandling classified information in the midst of diddling his mistress

Puh leeze, haven’t we been down that path
How can you hire Petreaus and prosecute hillary?

But then, Petreaus was the hero of benghazi who called out the administration on the lies and misdeeds and illicit WH/State/CIA weapons smuggling to Al Qaeda In Syria that killed these men and blew up libya...

Oh
Wait
No, he didn’t

Didn't Petraeus meet with the Clinton team before Elections?

Is he even a Republican? Seems alot of Generals are Democrats!

Drain the swamp. No on Petreaus. A globalist fanboy and loves to hand out top secret material to his paramour.

As an advisor to Trump on the ME, I would say Petraeus is another Eisenhower. Nothing wrong with that.

As Secretary of State?? Still think Bolton is the best bet...and Trump is simply saving the best for last.

Huh????

Wait just a minute. How would Petraeus ever again get top secret security clearance? Wasn’t he convicted of giving classified info to his mistress journalist?

Who in their right mind would consider a convicted criminal for a position like this?

Interviewing felons now.

This guy should not even be an after thought.

Plus, he’s an anti-gunner.

Pretty amazing when Trump has told us, indoctrinated us and educated us that he believes in the element of surprise and he believes the stupidest thing to do, probably in every human endeavor is to tell someone beforehand what you plan to do ...

All of the media INCLUDING FR have speculated ad nauseam about who will fill what slot.


I'll bet there are young girls being raped all over the world by islamists, illegals POURING across our borders (and no one is paying attention to the socialist northern born), dumpsters being filled with shredded paper outside every clinton establishment and public schools STILL making our kids stupid !

Just sayin'

As a 30 year retired Army Vet I must say a Senior Flag Officer that admits to mishandling of classified information is unforgivable show stopper for consideration as SECSTATE.

Besides that, whether many agree with it or not, adultery is still an act that can be prosecuted under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

According to the MSM everyone Trump meets with is a SOS candidate .... including the doorman.

Just because someone is ‘meeting’ with Trump why do people think they have a ‘position’...I could meet with Trump, does that mean I would have a ‘position’???

The media are beside themselves, they aren’t being able to pick Trump’s cabinet and they are not being told what is going on...I think it’s about time that the Elected president has his own mind...

Remember on Thanksgiving, New York Times wrote a story about around the Turkey Table, it was a conversation of ‘Rudy or Mitten’....now ask yourself one question, how would they know, I didn’t see pictures of any media whore any where inside, maybe out side but certainly not at the table...so this tells me they either have ‘ESP’ or ‘an alien from outer space came by and told them this’....

He’s Hillary’s chum. I’ve forgotten what book I read it in but it was in one that she and Petreaus met for drinks quite often. I don’t believe it was “Clinton Cash” as it seems it goes back further than that. It was while she was at the State Department and I believe it was after he got in trouble. I wouldn’t trust that pipsqueak as far as I could throw him...pretty poor specimen of a military man with those slumped shoulders and his more recent indiscretions. Trump COULDN’T be considering him.....

Trump: David, thanks for coming in today.

Patraeus: You’re welcome Mr. President-Elect.

Trump: Tell me the details about your pleading guilty to mishandling classified information and the deal you were offered to plead guilty, pay a $100,000.00 fine, and all that.

Patraeus: I was guilty of poor judgment and I paid the price.

Trump: How is what you did different from what Hillary Clinton did?

Patraeus: It is different in scope and magnitude. At least Paula Broadwell had a security clearance and I only gave her a few classified items. Hillary Clinton was completely reckless and her recklessness place people’s lives in jeopardy.

Trump: Tell me about Paula Broadwell.

Patraeus: What would you like to know?

Trump: How about her telephone number?

Patraeus: Mr. President-Elect, I thought I was here to interview for the Secretary of State position in your cabinet.

Trump: Sorry, David, but your conviction makes you legally barred from serving in a position of trust in the Executive Branch of the government unless and until you receive a presidential pardon.

Patraeus: Mr. President-Elect?!

Trump: If you would like to apply for a pardon let Reince Priebus know and I will consider it. It’s been nice talking to you David.

Another Trump head fake. He has likely already made his choice.
