Rudy Giuliani a finalist for secretary of state

[Maj. Bill Martin]

How about Cruz or Giuliani for SCOTUS (preferably Cruz)?

Leaving his politics out of it for a moment, Giuliani would be a horrible choice simply because of his age alone.  For a life appointment, I'd aim for someone in their 50's at the most.  That's one of the biggest factors supporting Cruz -- he'd likely sit on the court for at least 30 years.

Good point, Maj. Bill.

SOS....nooooo...I was hoping for AG...

Same here.  He made his name...IIRC..as the Deputy US Attorney for the Southern District of NY when he went after the mob. And then later when he cleaned up Times Square as mayor.

Make Bolton SecState.

A good choice also...maybe Rudy for Homeland Security...I just don't see him as SOS...what am I missing?

You're not missing anything. From what I see on the news, and from what I am reading, the only one who is seriously considering Giuliani for Secretary of State is Rudy Giuliani. I'm not sure anyone else is interested in his idea. From what I can tell, he, Rudy, put himself up for the position. No one else did.


I agree with everyone else, in that he needs to be the AG or Homeland Security Director. However, it is by no means sure if he will accept either of those positions. It would seem from his recent interview, that he considers those positions to be beneath him.

You're economically ignorant if you think repealing NAFTA would lead to more jobs.

That is what Trump said he would do.  Is he economically ignorant?

Trumps new motto should be jump in (to swamp) rather than drain it.

NAFTA didn't work.  It put Americans out of work.  I know its difficult for people who don't make their living in a production environment to understand.  Its easy to pretend like there aren't millions of Americans depending on their manufacturing jobs to put food on the table.

We only made it cheaper to manufacture products outside the country.

Yes.

Cruz has already stated that he will better serve this country as a Senator than a justice and I agree with him. Trump would be wise to give him a cabinet position such as his Attorney General where his talents would be better utilized. Quite frankly, I think Cruz would be bored as a SCOTUS justice.

IMHO, I think that Trump is still very threatened and bitter towards Cruz.  I would be very surprised if Trump appoints him to any position.
