David Petraeus – the former US army general and CIA director who was prosecuted for mishandling classified information – has entered the race to become Donald Trump’s secretary of state, diplomatic sources said on Thursday.

My CIA friend reports that Petraeus acted like a complete ass.

That would make sense, him being a complete ass and all. I don't really mind his zipper problem when it comes to being qualified to serve in a high ranking govt position. We've had plenty of that type that have done their jobs well, BUT pillow talking with the bimbo and sharing confidential information? Now that shows a serious lack of intelligence. Wasn't Hillary enough of an example for us as to what happens when you put a dummy in a position of power like that?

I think this is Donald trolling the media and the democrats.

He’s saying “hey, no one had a problem with Clinton as SoS and she did worse”

[fatima]

So many people want that spot.I have never seen anything like this.They say it is set up like a jobs fair and people are moving from room to room.This is fun crazy.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Is there anyone who ISN’T in consideration for Secretary of State?

Hillary Clinton

[Morpheus2009]

They are being considered. Possibly neither of them get the final pick. Trump is doing it so that he can say that he has an open mind on the matter.

[Garth Tater]

Gary Busey for Secretary of State.

He'd have been a great SoS if the witch had won the election. Our second brain damaged SoS!

Hillary, Biden, Pelosi, Reid... what is it with Democrats, is brain damage one of their requirements for high office?

[Trumpisourlastchance]

He supports Al Qaeda in Syria. He is essentially a terrorist. No F*cking way.

[Don_Ret_USAF]

His security clearance was revoked. The mishandling of classified material, I think, should prevent him from getting a new security clearance.
Don

[CJ Wolf]

He is checking to see what they did in the grand conspiracy of it all. makes sense going back to Kissinger.

[Lisbon1940]

He doesn’t mince words when describing Obama.

[Zenjitsuman]

I can see Mitt grovell for the job and Trump gets video tape of it for his own amusement.

[a real Sheila]

hahahahah

[Night Hides Not]

I’ve removed my name form the running...

I must be the only person that hasn't been asked. Dammit!

[razeislam_crushthedems]

I wouldn’t be surprised if he is just trying to punk media again. They are after all stupid and gullible. How many times has he punked them? And they just keep being surprised. A lot of names are being thrown around. My bet is that he is having some fun with this.

I hear Jeb is the dark horse ...

More likely the horse's head as in the Godfather...

“Those that know are not talking; those that don’t know are talking”...

[silverleaf]

Uh no

He bashed trump during the campaign, showing just what a useful tool he had become to clinton and obama

Besides wtf did he ever do to throw bleach on the benghazi massacre cover up?

He was cia chief when it went down! What ever happened to tell the truth

[COBOL2Java]

"Why am I not in the running to be Trump's secretary of state?"

[Capt_Hank]
