“Well we now have an SoS who struggled to get a C in college Calc. Perhaps that’s why he became a CEO. “

I got A’s in collage calculus; in fact, I got A’s all the way up to partial differential equations in post-graduate college, including digital numerical analysis. I do not feel such math prowess is a prerequisite for any fields except hard sciences and engineering. By your logic, Donald Trump is unfit to be President.

No, that's your understanding of what I said and not my logic.

As an engineer, generally speaking, there are two career paths a engineer takes in a company that employs a large number of engineers. On one path you have the engineers who do the engineering. On the other path you have the engineers who manage the engineers who do the engineering.

These are two different kinds of skills. It's my guess that Tillerson has better skills of the second type. Generally speaking it is those type of people who usually become the CEO of an engineering company.

>>He can succeed Cruz after Cruz gets his POTUS assignment<<

I’ll assume you meant “SCOTUS”, not POTUS. LOL

I’d guess that Rudy’s present business/employment is such that it would raise legitimate questions about a conflict of interest...

Yeah...they were at the game together yesterday so I would imagine they are still good friends.

He also didn’t want some positions so there’s that.

Trump and Rudy have been though a lot together and Rudy will be loyal and there for kitchen cabinet duties when called upon.

Hard to explain the love for Rudy but we Staten Islanders (Italians lol) voted 82 percent for him for mayor and we parties that NIGHT!! Called dinkins everything in the book lol.

Then there was 9/11.

I wish him well.

Maybe, just maybe, he helped Trump because he loves America and wasn’t looking for a position.

Like most of us from farming/ranching families, Rick Perry has a deep and abiding hatred reserved for the EPA, and doesn’t care who knows it-he was not even close to the worst governor my state ever had-think “Ma” Richardson and her gun grabbing attempts-and in any case, the job of Energy Secretary is about energy-it has nothing to do with immigration policy...

Rudy has always seemed like a stand up guy-and his handling of the attack on 9-11 was an incredible example of responsible leadership.

He’ll be great for that position. Lots of experience in oil and over coming liberal opposition to it.
