President-elect widens circle of candidates for top diplomatic job and will interview more prospects
WASHINGTONPresident-elect Donald Trump is widening the circle of candidates for secretary of state and will interview more prospects this week, transition officials said, a sign that after multiple meetings with high-profile hopefuls he still isnt sold on who he wants as the nations top diplomat.
Though Mr. Trumps transition team said last...

Ten thousand liberal heads just exploded!
Anyone but Romney or Patreus
There are two ExMo CEOs under consideration.
LOL...............Still not sick of winning!
Isn’t Exxon the company that the feds and libs want to put thru the ringer about global warming? Saying Exxon knew the risks and didn’t tell the world. Pure BS of course.
Thank God no one is talking about Romney anymore.
He said he would get top people from private sector.
Surprised he hasn’t picked one, yet.
Exxon is one of the largest institutions in private business, in the world.
Oil business is politically sensitive. I would expect the guy would be good at State.
I would definitely like to see Lee Raymond under consideration.
Trump is an out of the box manager.
That’s a good thang.
LOL.
Oh, Trump, I love ya.
What if he just appointed HIMSELF as SecState?
With all deference to him, I say this is one of the toughest cabinet spots to fill. The face of a President’s foreign policy is SecState. Hitlery was terrible.
Trump, I hope and trust, will make a good choice on this spot.
It makes a lot of sense right now, as the changes in the energy industry are driving geopolitical changes all around the world.
Wouldn’t that be good. Send him down to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, And all the other OPEC Shiite holes and tell them, “thanks, but we’ll get our own oil. Oh, and Saudi Arabia, you’re now on the list of nations that sponsor Islamic terrorism finally”
SOS is an important role to get filled, but numbers under consideration are becoming a punch line. Seriously.
Dismantle that department and clean it out from what it has become.
Anybody who can fullfil the dang job description, as Trump wants it performed, along with a phone and a pen and a functioning secretary should do the job just fine, for Trump.
State has obviously become a collosus.
Another CFR member takes a seat at the table.
Why State? He wouldn’t know the tricks of those crafty diplomats and bureaucrats
Hah! What a hoot. Glad he’s looking outside the norm.
When they grilled exxon execs I just couldn’t understand how these intelligent business men were allowing these idiot rat poiticians rake them over the coals
