"Trump is also said to be considering former CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus, retired Adm. James Stavridis, 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and former Ford CEO Alan Mulally."
Put Ruddy at OMB.
Rudy is a little too old for the incredibly rigorous, demanding job and he knows it....plus he heads and is the chief guiding-light and busine$$-sponge for his profitable far-flung NYC security company and he would probably have to diddle around his financial interests in many negative ways if he were appointed.....plus, he loves NYC, it's in his blood, why on earth would he want to uproot at his age and move to and live among the creatures in Swamp City interrupted constantly by living out of suitcase as he, of necessity, has to tromp all over the world.
On Trump's part, in a non-derogatory way towards his friend Rudy, I think he's looking for a slightly younger, more sophisticated, more urbane-looking person for the job....someone with a more fleshed-out experience in higher-level international circles.
I don't look at this as a snub to Rudy by Trump, not at all. Donald is loyal to Rudy as Guiliani is to Trump....and believe me, they will do very, very well by and for each other in some important capacity in the future new administration.

..always thought Rudy would have been perfect for AG or FBI director...
