I think there should be some other great position for Giuliani.
I don't trust Romney at this point for anything.
To: Innovative
Who is the source that says it’s between these two? No other names? I doubt it
To: Innovative
The NY Slime telling the truth? Nonsense.

If Romney is SOS, I will sadly understand that the GOPe and neocons will still run things.

The Romney faction should carry zero weight. Rudy was loyal and is both qualified to do the job and to drain the state Department swamp - no doubt he will have Sessions on speed dial. And besides it’s the NYT reporting this, so take it with a salt mine full of salt.
To: DesertRhino
Why these two?? The bench is deeper than this.
To: Innovative
I'd rather have Newt as SoS than either of them but Newt doesn't want the job or any cabinet position. Either Guiliani or Romney would be good for that job and an incredible step forward compared to the SoS's we have had lately. If Romney had the position he would do what Trump says or he would be fired. Romney would be good at selling Trump to all the turds around the world. He is a great salesman and has a nice smile.
To: Innovative
Giuliani was loyal to Trump all throughout the primaries and general election, and gave perhaps the best speech at this year's Republican National Convention.
Romney, on the other hand...
To: Innovative
The only people I’ve heard/seen on TV that support Romney as SOS are IMO exactly who I would expect to support him.
I can’t see Romney in a Trump administration. Not just due his mouth during the campaign, but the simple fact he lost against a loser. We don’t need that experience in such an important position as Sec. of State.

From inside the Trump campaign they let slip that they have been just deluged with opinions about Romney, and that the overwhelming majority think he is an unfaithful loser.

Folks need to ignore the media. They don’t have a clue about much that’s real & they spend a fortune everyday trying to get us to believe stuff that’s isn’t real.

I don’t think Newt’s willing to sign onto the 5-year ban on lobbying.

The only thing Romney should be secretary of is Trump University, where he would be expertly schooled on how to actually be loyal to the party which handed him the nomination in 2012 only to see him fumble it away on the one-yard line. As for Sec. of State, I don’t think Trump would do that to his supporters, or to the world. Romney’s day, hopefully, has come and gone.

careful. someone’s going to call you a neocon or something because you mentioned john bolton, the most eminently qualified man on the planet to be SoS
To: Innovative
The NYTs, presenting fake news for going on five decades...
Seems like it to me. From my adulthood in 1969 on, this paper and the Washington Post seemed to live in an alternate universe from me.

LOL. John Bolton is possibly the only choice worse than Romney.
