Anyone know why SOS would be so important to him. Seems dhs would have been perfect
I agree. He would bring common sense to a vitally important function, that now focuses on strip searching grandma.
SOS is a much more important and visible job than DHS.
The country survived over 200 years without a DHS. Currently we have open boarders and a DHS and can’t publically identify the main threat. We wouldn’t really need a DHS if we would enforce our immigration laws. He knows DHS won’t be shut down by the establishment of both parties. At age 72 would you want a thankless job, where you couldn’t accomplish much, with limited visibility, that didn’t pay well where you were in charge of the current batch of DHS employees?
SOS is seen as a stepping stone to the Presidency.
It's one of the original cabinet positions. Probably the most high profile. I think Rudy is looking for a legacy assignment something that will let his name be listed with the greats of history. DHS is a bogus cabinet position and should be a subdivision under the attorney general or department of defense.
