Latest scuttlebutt. It ain't over 'til he's refusing to help mothers whose kids have been whisked off to Saudi Arabia by father, and the fat lady sings.

I still think it will be Kellyanne.

No no no no no no no no no.

Personally, selecting him and potentially re-investigating Hillary seems like hypocrisy to me, also. I just don’t think he is SoS material myself just because he’s had a great deal of experience with a couple parts of this world that we have been at odds with.

Germany, Belgium, the UK, Ireland, Spain, Italy, France, Sweden, Finland, all of the EU and a host of other countries in addition to Afghanistan and Iraq and Syria.

Frankly, I’d like someone who could put some backbone into these countries through diplomacy and pull up their fair share.

I think Trump can do better.

Shlomo Vlle doesn’t have a clue.

[ifinnegan]

He’s a Dem.

I advance tinfoil hat scenario worthy of Machiavelli and in keeping with the full range of bizarre excuses which have been advanced on behalf of Donald Trump since he announced.

I suggest that it has been Trump's intention all along to nominate General David Petraeus to be Secretary of State but he was confronted with the problem that General Petraeus was guilty of the very crimes he had repeatedly accused Hillary Clinton of in the campaign. How to square that circle?

Simple, trivialize the crimes of Hillary Clinton and speak about compassion and, if necessary, a pardon could be issued to clear Petraeus to qualify him and a pardon could be issued to Hillary Clinton to cover the pardon to Petraeus.

My tinfoil hat is just as worthy as anybody else's

Bolton is best choice, but I don’t think he casts a big enough shadow (currently not a huge name to the masses) and he comes off as a second-stringer due to the recess appointment deal on his first foray into gubmint position.

Petraeus may be ok, anyone but Mittster. Mittens could get a spot on the State Department office building cafeteria staff, he probably looks sporty in a hairnet.

[Bigg Red]

Well, Petraeus seems to have the Hillary attitude toward keeping state secrets secure....

[nikos1121]

Haha. I’m totally clueless over your reply. What are you trying to say?

[Godebert]

Petraeus was a servant of the Usurper Obama. He is dishonorable. A traitor to his sworn oath to defend the Constitution.

[ari-freedom]

Trump met with Obama and talked to him for hours so maybe he will pick HIM for SoS???

Come on. Trump will pick someone of nobody is talking about that fits his agenda, like Price for HHS

[tired&retired]

Petraeus got shafted by Obama and screwed by Hillary. I would love to see him in a power position as it will be a 180 degree turn from the past. (He would bring some balls to the entire State Department.)

[silverleaf]

Speaking of his CIA experience.....
What did he ever do to bring truth and justice concerning the clinton- obama policies and lies that brought death to his contract employees at benghazi?

[Clutch Martin]

Could this be the reasoning behind backing down on holding HRC accountable?

If so, even refusing HRC a clearance or access would be off the table as well.

Why compromise?

[nevermorelenore]

Hope Trump is listening to Pence’s input ....

[Reily]

I was talking to a academy grad at work who knew Petraeus at the academy his comment on Petraeus,’... when his boots first hit the ground at West Point he started dating the commandant’s daughter. You decide what that means about him! ...’.

If I have to have an arrogant elitist at the SOS position I’ll take Romney. I would prefer Trump find somebody else other then these two!

[nralife]

Wasn’t he involved with Bloomberg in pushing gun control a while back??

If so, that’s more of a deal breaker than the Broadwell incident.

[Mashood]

Really? With 340 million people in this country and this convict is the only one they can find?

[blueunicorn6]

If a man will cheat on his wife, then he’ll cheat on his country.
