Romney made his own bed and will now have to sleep in it. He could not adequately debate Obama and said stupid, unnecessary things about Trump. Two thumbs down.

The State Department implements foreign policy. It does not set foreign policy where the nation’s vital interests are at stake. The highest priority for this Secy of State is to bring a corrupted bureaucracy into line. This is why Bolton, who is far more aggressive than Trump, would make a good Secy in spite of policy differences.

Trum is also using British and Australian parliamentary alliances and coalitions, where the parties who form the majority, whether 1 or many, get to choose who slots into the various portfolios. In fact, somebody from Australia said all the Republican candidates for President should be put into cabinet or other bureaucratic layer slots. It’s basically how Parliaments clear out the old guard and replace it with the new.

Since JFK, Nixon’s loss, LBJ, and FDR, the elections have been “rigged”. Jim Crow for Demoncrats, was also their way to “rig the vote” as blacks back then voted predominantly Republican.

I supported Carly for Pres., off course I’d support her for State; yes, even over Romney, who would also be excellent.

The Rep “bench” is quite strong, and full of real conservatives.

I think Carly was more careful then Romney in not being “against” Trump, but very much in favor of conservatives & Reps throughout the down ballot.

At 62 now, Carly would be 70 by 2024 (tho only 66 in 2020). State is an executive slot very appropriate for a future Pres. candidate, or any who are past.

Makes me think of a real dark horse – Rubio.
Who knows? I’m pretty sure Trump hasn’t yet decided, tho I’m sure I don’t know that, either.

Please read the last few weeks of Scott Adams’ blog on Trump as the “Master Persuader”, and especially on the different movies we are all living in and seeing.

Neo — getting your commenters to talk about Scott’s ideas would be fun, interesting … probably even drive more traffic.

I don’t think Romney can be confirmed. There are those all those binders in the dog crate on top of his car…

LOL
expat, I think, hits the nail on the point.
Plus, Romney has gotten a lot of positive press on his correct reading of Russia as a menace, despite Obama’s feckless and facetious mockery.
And may I suggest that international businesses have executives who do business … internationally, which may be more useful than a room full of academic foreign-relations wonks.

Tuvea Says:
“If any department needs his talent the most it would be Veteran Affairs. Next in line would be the IRS.”

Disagree.

The Justice Department, radicalized by Holder’s hiring practices, is the main driver of:

– the “war on men” and “rape culture” in the universities,
– the fight against voter ID
– preventing the elimination of duplicates, multiples, illegals, felons, the deceased, bovines and cartoon characters from voter rolls,
– the takeover of many local police departments,
– the instigation of racial controversies and confrontations over police shootings,
– the obsession with using the bathroom and locker room of your chosen gender,
– attempts to build national databases of legal gun owners and donors to conservative groups,
– granting Constitutional legal protections to terrorists, foreign and domestic, as ordinary criminals
– and much, much, much more.

I hope sessions is up to this monumental task. He should hire J. Christian Adams, Mark Levin and Chris Christie as his top lieutenants, with orders to kick assess and take names.

Gingrich is an interesting choice. Not sure he has the temperament for it.

GB’s choice of Fiorina for Secretary of State is interesting. Not likely to happen, would be a surprise pick and isn’t that Trump’s strength.
And did you know she negotiated more than the Compaq deal?

Romney is a turn-around artist.

If any department needs his talent the most it would be Veteran Affairs. Next in line would be the IRS.
