So is my 84 year old Mom.
She’s not going to be picked either.

I can see where Trump might give Petraeus the opportunity to rat out Hillary and Obama.

Trump is busy playing the media like a violin. Would not be surprised to see GW Bush visiting him soon just to stir the pot a little more.

Never going to happen,

they are just trying to embarrass Trump, snark at him.

How could he run an entire campaign about Hillary’s misuse of classified material and then hire him. Completely illogical and nonsensical.

After *I* turned him down, he’s now stuck interviewing all of the second-stringers.

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

Maybe it would be easier to mention who isn't in the running for Secretary of State? Other than Ben Carson, of course.

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.

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.

“Patraeus.... who was prosecuted for mishandling classified information –”

This is BS, more media nonsense....Trump would never do anything that stupid.
