AP: Huntsman among secretary of State possibilities © Getty President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly open to expanding his short list of candidates for secretary of State to include former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.
Huntsman was one of the possibilities reported by The Associated Press on Saturday night, citing a source close to the Trump transition.
Huntsman, who ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, previously served as ambassador to China and speaks Mandarin.

Hell F-in NO
Huntsman was uncharacteristically “sucking up”, defending Trump on Fox and Friends. This may be how the rumor was started.

Don’t want.
Huntsman is a Big Zero.
When he made speeches as (laughingly) a presidential candidate, he often “mailed it in.”
No RINOs please - especially not Obama stooges
Huntsman is what you’d get if you dressed David Gergen in Mormon underwear and got him elected to public office - a squish RINO with his lips firmly attached to collective backside of the Washington establishment.
If Trump wants to appoint him head doorman for one of his buildings, that’s fine with me; anything else: fuhggedaboudit.
>> Associated Press on Saturday night, citing a source
The MSM citing a source... whatever.
When Team Trump chooses to float possibilities, it should bypass the MSM and do so with reliable sources.
Huntsman sucks the Chinese ding-dong. This would be absolutely retarded.
Remember when he started speaking in mandarin during a primary debate? Retard !!!!!!!!!!
“I’d take Romney over damn Huntsman.”
Between the two I would take Mitt. However I think there are better choices.
Dana Rohrobacher turned down deputy SOS because of the neocons.
Bolton, oh yes. Bolton always struck me as the General Mattis of the diplomatic world.
Worse than Mittens!
How the heck could he be secretary of state when he did not even know what/where Aleppo was?
This is AP...could this be fake news ;)
How about Dana Rohrabacher ? I’ve seen his name pop up a few times and he said he would take it if offered ... He is by far the best choice that i’ve seen ... hopefully Trump will give him a good hard look ...
Oops...wrong libertarian ;)
This is all song and dance. It is most likely going to be Rudy. Probably with Bolton as #2 at State.
Sounds promising. Thanks
I think it would be fabulously fantastic if he picked Huntsman :) this would be awesome, awesome, and awesome :)
That made me laugh so much that it actually hurt.
Huntsman spent his entire political career as a Republican establishment butt boy. He apparently liked so much that he later bent over and took it from the China Lobby.
Nothing Libertarian about him.
