Seems to me that Rudy is perfectly capable and suited to accomplish all the missions Mr. Lifson has assigned to Willard Romney. After all, America’s Mayor managed to clean-up and clean-out several yuge departments in one of our nation’s largest cities, while reducing crime and helping to handle our worst and most horrific attack on September 11, 2001.
We'll see soon enough.
Trump is human, he will make mistakes (duh), but overall, he has really good hiring instincts, and I have come to trust that part of him. He has earned our trust in that regard. Look at who he has nominated, it's just extraordinary how good his list is so far. Like I said earlier, if he nominates Willard, I will give him the benefit of the doubt though I dislike even considering the idea.
As an aside, I wonder if Trump isn't planning to reduce the State Department duties and responsibilities to basically nothing more than handling logistics for foreign embassies (at the direction of the CIA) and attending funerals...and run foreign policy out of the WH.
