No shortage of targets.
Rudy just said, on Fox, that he had informed Trump he would not accept any Cabinet post other than Secretary if State.
Specifically said he would not have accepted Homeland Security.
YIKES! Our Rudy hit a wall for some reason.
Hopefully, this decision is about delays and complications of untangling his business interests, both here and abroad, and no mark against the man, forever America’s Mayor.
He was a God-send in so many ways and so respected for his muscular approach to national security and bringing in law and order for peace in NYC.
Our whole country learned from Giuliani.
This is a shame. But thats just the way the political cookie crumbles. Rudy is said to have refused Homeland Security.
Rudy did good for for Trump during the campaign, but I just didn’t see him as SoS material.
Too bad. America would have been well served by Rudy Guiliani in whatever capacity they could have agreed on. Just heard him on Cavuto; “no hard feelings.” That’s good. Maybe in the future...

(CNN) — Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani will not serve in Donald Trump’s incoming administration, the President-elect announced Friday.
The transition team released a statement Friday saying Giuliani removed himself from consideration for a position last month, a description contradicted by CNN reporting that the New Yorker was told he would not get the secretary of state position this week.
“Rudy Giuliani is an extraordinarily talented and patriotic American. I will always be appreciative of his 24/7 dedication to our campaign after I won the primaries and for his extremely wise counsel,” Trump said in the statement. “He is and continues to be a close personal friend, and as appropriate, I will call upon him for advice and can see an important place for him in the administration at a later date.”
Giuliani will stay on as a “Vice Chairman of the Presidential Transition Team,” the organization said.
I’m in agreement with others who suggest that Rudy (and Newt) will be insider advisers (Kitchen Cabinet if you will)
Rudy has said in the past that the ONLY job he wanted was SoS and reiterated that again today.
Well Rudy ‘you don’t always get what you want’ and especially if Trump wanted you for another job and you turned it down.
I'm sure Newt's latest wife said the same thing. She likes running a tab at Tiffany's.
Rudy should have been willing to serve where he would do the most, most serious and most permanent damage to leftists, socialists, and Islamists, not where he wanted.
Rudy will be the FBI boss. They are running a smoke screen on everyone.
Rudy would face many problems being confirmed.

Rudy loves what he is doing.
Makes a boatload of money.
A bit too Open Borders/Amnesty for the New Sheriff in Town.
Doesn’t need the accolades.
Is a bit old and sick for 24/7 high powered stuff.
His role is to become Special Prosecutor to go after Her Thighness.
Handcuffs and Orange Jumpsuits for then all.
Too much fussing; too much indecision; too much BS. Rudy doesn't need to put up with that crap...and he probably doesn't want the pay cut, anyway. He would have been a great AG or head of the FBI, but enough is enough. Bye, Bye D.C.
That’s too bad, he’d have been a great choice.
Is Rudy planning on running for POTUS, sometime in the future? He might be separating himself from Donald Trump, just in case things end up going wrong with a Trump presidency.
Giuliani was interviewed by Fox News and a little of what he said was...
“The whole thing was becoming very confusing and difficult for the President-elect... “
What did Giuliani mean by this? Why should putting him in a cabinet post, be “very confusing” and “difficult” for Trump?
I like Giuliani a lot, so this is disappointing news.
I think Rudy is just to old to bet jetting around the world living out of a suitcase all the time...
I think his own business is what he loves and doesn’t want to give it up...as an outside adviser, Rudy will be doing what Rudy wants to do...just as Newt doesn’t want to give up what he does...
President Trump needs a younger person, someone that knows a lot about the world and there are many people out there to choose from...and no Rat Romney isn’t one of them...
I have all the faith in the world that when President Trump announces who his SOS is, we will all be happy...
I heard Rudy on FNFs early on in this process saying he would hate to give up the business he has right now. He sounded happy with his current situation.
