Trump narrows secretary of State field to four finalists
By Jonathan Easley - 11/30/16 11:39 AM EST



President-elect Donald Trump has narrowed the field of contenders for secretary of State to four candidates, his transition team said Tuesday.

Spokesman Jason Miller confirmed that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) are still under consideration.

Miller would not reveal the names of the other two contenders, but it is widely believed that Trump is also considering retired Gen. David Petraeus and Republican Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee for the job.

Corker
Romney
Giuliana
Someone other than Petraeus

Having another SoS who can't follow procedures for classified materials is just not something I want to relive.

Agreed.

I'd be thrilled with a POTUS who sets higher standards for his Cabinet Officers than he sets for the average worker. Not going to happen in my lifetime, even if I live another 30 years.

What's the phone number, so we can all vote? (I don't watch reality TV much)

Bit stuck on the two confirmed finalists -

Romney is probably better over all, though not what I'd call an inspired pick. But Rudy still has a hell of a lot of international cred from 9/11, meaning he's probably be more effective than someone who's an "also ran" for the presidency.  :shrug:

Petraeus - No. He's not a bad person, but he's no diplomat, plus there is the entire affair and spilling secrets thing.
