Trump expands secretary of state search; more interviews this week
For New Politics ^ | December 4, 2016 | FoxNews.com

Posted on 12/04/2016 2:58:50 PM PST by iontheball

The transition team on Thursday officially confirmed Trump had narrowed the list to four. Then sources told Fox News the names were Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee; former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani; Tennessee GOP Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and retired Gen. David Petraeus, also a former CIA director.

However, other names have surfaced, including John Bolton, a former U.S ambassador to the United Nations; Rex Tillerson, Exxon’s chief executive officer; and most recently John Huntsman, a former U.S. ambassador to China and Utah GOP governor whose daughter Abby is a Fox News general assignment reporter.

We need someone who understands the career obstructionist lefties at State and knows how to purge them. Bolton may qualify on that count.

Jon Huntsman is in play? Good gracious. Huntsman had endorsed Trump and then in October called on him to get out of the race and replace himself with Pence. That would insure a Hillary win. Which tells me that Huntsman is another Daddy Warbucks progeny who has nothing better to do than run for political office. Huntsman was willing to throw the election to the globalist democrat party which would have ended this Republic in favor of a one world govt with international rulers. Of course, there was no way to effect such a transfer of candidates, one to another, and Trump would still have been on the ballot. Are we ready for another dim witted seeker of political office to represent us in any position?

Not John Huntsman. I’d prefer Romney to him.

I wouldn't. At least Huntsman supported Trump as nominee.

He’s being selective. He’s not interviewing all failed Presidential candidates. No one has suggested that Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, John McCain, Gary Johnson, or Bob Dole are even being considered.

I’ll never forget how Rudy Giuliani had Yasser Arafat thrown out of the UN shindig at Lincoln Center. If memory serves, he had not been invited, but showed up nonetheless. And Giuliani had him thrown out and then expressed outrage that he had shown up sans invitation.

Plus Bolton will make liberals crap their pants after the fight they put up to deny him before.

Corker or Romney would be the worst choices.
Establishment pukes.

Cruz should never be on the Supreme Court. He does not know what natural born citizen means.
