I’m not a fan of Petraeus. I’ve heard awful things about his personality and how he treated people from friends at the CIA.

That said, I’ll take him over Romney in a heartbeat.

Please, no. Petraeus has demonstrated that he has poor judgment as a senior leader, on more than one occaision. Better choices are available.

Not a guy convicted of mishandling classified information in the midst of diddling his mistress

Puh leeze, haven’t we been down that path
How can you hire Petreaus and prosecute hillary?

But then, Petreaus was the hero of benghazi who called out the administration on the lies and misdeeds and illicit WH/State/CIA weapons smuggling to Al Qaeda In Syria that killed these men and blew up libya...

Oh
Wait
No, he didn’t

Didn't Petraeus meet with the Clinton team before Elections?

Is he even a Republican? Seems alot of Generals are Democrats!

Drain the swamp. No on Petreaus. A globalist fanboy and loves to hand out top secret material to his paramour.

As an advisor to Trump on the ME, I would say Petraeus is another Eisenhower. Nothing wrong with that.

As Secretary of State?? Still think Bolton is the best bet...and Trump is simply saving the best for last.

Who in their right mind would consider a convicted criminal for a position like this?

Interviewing felons now.

This guy should not even be an after thought.

Plus, he’s an anti-gunner.
