Spot on.
SOS is mostly about Pomp and Circumstance internationally and Romney pulls that off well. POTUS calls all the shots anyway. The position is eye candy on an international stage and Rudy doesn’t bring it.
The heavy lifting in this adminstraton will come legislatively and Trump will need the whole mixed multitude to make serious changes. Rinos must be on board to get it done.
All making sense, but you also have a smart guy with Patraeus and Trump knows this.
I think behind closed doors, Trump is vastly impressed with people him and Newt and maybe even Romney, and of course athe mony guys.
I don’t think Rudy impresses him that much other than in the political and home security sense he probably does.
I think you put Rudy in a position to over see Homeland Cyber security. Giving him SOS is like giving it to Kerry.
INterviewing these guys teaches Trump also, on things.
