I don’t think he’s jerking Rudy around. Rudy may want Homeland Security as much as SOS...depends on how much travel he wants to engage in. If Rudy would rather not live out of a suitcase, he might prefer Homeland Security.

We just don’t know. I see where Trump is going with his interest in Romney. He wants to go outside the box as much as possible and he wants to “bring America together”. His political instincts are telling him that Romney on his team would help him with tough Senate votes and with quelling rebellions from the old establishment.

In the end though I believe he will probably not go to Romney as much as he’d like to shake everyone up. Romney was too much his own person and too much a real a**hole throughout the campaign. He might decide to bring in someone different from the establishment camp into an important position.

Rudy has defended Trump from the beginning and what must Donald Trump be thinking?

Mike Huckabee said Wednesday that he turned down President-elect Donald Trump’s request that he take a place in his cabinet, and blasted the idea of making Mitt Romney the next secretary of state.

‘I’m not talking about what it was,’ the former Arkansas governor said on the ‘Fox & Friends’ program. ‘I was offered a cabinet slot. I didn’t think it was a great fit for me.’

Huckabee, a 61-year-old Baptist minister and former Fox News Channel host, also clobbered Romney in no uncertain terms.

‘It’s not about that I don’t care for Mitt personally. But I’m still very unhappy that Mitt did everything he could to derail Donald Trump,’ he said, painting the 2012 Republican presidential nominee as disloyal and wildly unpopular among Trump’s electoral base.

‘He didn’t just go after him from the standpoint of “I disagree with his policy on immigration, I disagree with his policy on taxes.” He attacked him on a personal level about his character, integrity, his honor.’
