I don’t know.
I’m not sure if there is something I don’t know about Rudy that others know or what.
I know this much... I like and respect him. I know he is more liberal than me, but I don’t care about that. He’s a good guy.
But it’s up to Trump to make the call and form the government.
I gave him my trust and my tiny amount of authority as a single American citizen by way of my vote, so I am not going to start second guessing him.
I think it’s kind of interesting to note that in the appointment of Haley and possibly Romney, Trump seems much less thin skinned than some have suggested.
I’d have to say that he is less thin skinned than me. I’d be pretty mad at those two.
I am not sure what’s going on with Rudy. I’ve heard rumblings he’s not as sharp or with it as he once was. I would have thought his skills would be better suited for Homeland Security than State.
I think Romney has skills that would be very useful at State if he could be persuaded to use them...cleaning out the career socialists, making competent and efficient people the norm, being low-key and “diplomatic”..
The problems with Romney- first, the people around him are just wretched hacks. Second, I don’t see how he overcomes the things he said about Trump. They were brutal- worse than anything even between Cruz and Trump. I just don’t know. Then, what dynamics follow? Will those who agreed with Romney at the time suddenly turn on him, or suck it up and support Trump?
Lots to consider. But the real question I have is, what is it that makes Trump want Romney enough that he’d overlook what’s been said..
And who other than Bolton (a mixed bag as well) Newt or Rudy is Trump looking at? There have to be some good people with great skills for this position...
