The rumor now is that David Petraeus will be the Secretary of State.

Why is it that there is Trump criticism 24/7? It is becoming very tiresome.

Petraeus? Sicking. He was a total democrat and endorsed Hillary.

I’m not in favor of Romney, but IMO Petreus would be the worst pick ever.
Trump spent a year bashing Hillary regarding the emails and her handling classified intel. No way he can now bring in someone that (no matter how qualified) plea dealed to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified intel. It would reek of utter hypocrisy as well as being just plain dumb politics.
There are many choices available other than Petreus or Romney.

Will Petraeus need to be pardoned before he can take the job?

Doesn’t he have the nick name Betrayus? I can’t recall why.

I think Trump purposely floated Romney’s name knowing there would be a conservative backlash.

This allows Trump to consider him for a very high post, but also gives him the legroom to appoint him to something meaningful and still nod to Romney’s power in the GOPe universe which still makes up quite a bit of Congress.

One way or another, there’s needs to be some negotiation to get Trump’s larger jobs, immigration, and trade legislation passed.

With Trump, you can be certain there’s a bigger strategy, probably 10 steps ahead of what most of us are thinking.

Lets hope he doesn’t have an affair during his tenure. He’s not so good with women and secrets
