From a CNN article avail online (search patreaeus gun control) re a June launch of their gun control group...
The two [Patraeus and Kelly] announced on Friday that they were launching Veterans Coalition for Common Sense to encourage elected leaders to "do more to prevent gun tragedies." The group will feature veterans from every branch of the military who are urging lawmakers to toughen gun laws, the organization said in a news release.
By his own choices, Mister (note insult) Patraeus is unfit for a GOP administration.

I figure it’s only a matter of time before Trump gets around to interviewing a Feeper. I mean look at how many have been rumored to be in the running for the SecState gig? Maybe I should check my voicemail?

“See Trump knows what hes doing.”
It’s the same MSM that’s been caught lying to us time and time again.
Any rational reason not to assume they’re just making s*** up again?

Maybe it would be easier to mention who isn't in the running for Secretary of State? Other than Ben Carson, of course.
To: conservativepoet
Apparently a requirement for Secretary of State is that you must know how to mishandle classified info.
Petraeus is no good. Shared classified with his girlfriend.
To: conservativepoet
All these people have something to say. They are all providing their insight to the international mess that Obama left. It is free advice.
What about Ray Odierno, I have not seen him float by?

I bet this is one last dig at Hildabeast and the media by Trump. He’s reminding them that if she could serve as SoS while totally compromising the nations intelligence apparatus, Petraeus should face no objections from the dems for his insignificant infraction.
Trump is really enjoying himself.
