Rudy was with Trump at the Army/Navy game yesterday. They are still good friends from what Rudy says & actions appear to bear those words out. I suspect Trump is going to have a “kitchen cabinet” (a group of unofficial advisers to a political leader, esp when considered to be more influential than the official cabinet) & Rudy & Newt will be sitting around the table often. I personally don’t believe a cabinet post is the only way that Trump has to show appreciation for loyalty.

Although I understand your concern for Rudy, he was with Trump just yesterday on the trip to the Army-Navy game, and was in the box watching the game with the President-elect. Rudy said something that Newt Gingrich and Kellyanne Conway said about themselves, which is that he thinks he can be more effective working outside the administration. Kellyanne has said several times that there is going to be a group formed to help push the President's agenda from the outside. That would be a very valuable thing for the President to have.

So don't worry, Rudy is still a close friend of soon-to-be President Trump.

Not only Rudy - Sarah Palin also.

Trump's dumping of Sara after she saved his A$$ in Iowa and Michigan is EXTREMELY disappointing to me.

She supported him from Day 1 - 100%.

My understanding is that he was offered two top jobs and turned them down. Is that right?

I keep getting a blank screen too, I thought it was my tablet. I’m glad to hear that Rudy was with Trump.

NO ONE on here believes Rudy said a month ago he didn’t want any positions.

I was thinking the same thing.

Where did the false meme come that Rudy only wanted to be SOS? Or was there a credible source on that, that I missed.

Well we now have an SoS who struggled to get a C in college Calc. Perhaps that's why he became a CEO.

It’s ok. That mentality will go a long way toward shrinking it to feasibility of abolition.

There are too many ‘said to be’ reports that turn out to be wrong.

These newsies need to find some better sources. Their integrity and credibility are suffering greatly. They are too busy trying to further the narrative than report the actual news.

*****************

Don’t know about turning any down but here is Rudy a few days ago

snip
GIULIANI: I decided, I guess it was about 10 days ago, November 29th, that the whole thing
was becoming kind of very confusing and very difficult for the President-elect and my desire to be
in the cabinet was great but it wasn’t that great and he had a lot of terrific candidates and I
thought I could play a better role being on the outside and continuing to be his close friend and
advisor. That’s sort of the role I played during the campaign, I never worked for the campaign
- I was never part of it. It gave me a certain degree of independence in being able to give advice
and I saw that he had so many good candidates available, I mean there was no reason to complicate
his life any longer. So I withdrew back on the 29th.
end snip

La Raza Rick would evidently eliminate (in the name of the prophet)anything not Halal, unless the natives of Atzlan desired them.

I do. the man is 72 years old, has a trophy wife, tons of money, several businesses he’d have to give up, has nothing left to prove, and could very well not want to have to work his ass off in charge of some massive D.C. bureaucracy.

thanks everyone for the responses. I think you are right. When someone is in your cabinet there is a spot light. Especially for someone as well-known and dynamic as Rudy. It would be better to get informal advice.
