#1 Secretary of State: Rudy Giuliani, Republican former mayor of New York City

A very interesting thought. Security expert, former crusading DoJ attorney, executive experience as Da Mayor.

#2 I could see Rudy Giuliani as SoS or John Bolton or Newt Gingrich. Don't know much about Khalilzad. I am hesitant on Sen. Bob Corker because of his playing footsy with Obama on his nuke deal. Corker and Iran nuke deal.

#3 I'm a bit surprised Newt hasn't landed a job by now. I was thinking he was CoS material.

#4 I thought of Newt as Chief of Staff as well, he knows the levers and how things are done. Hopefully Rence knows as well.

#5 But Newt may not be willing to play second fiddle.

#6 I just read that Rand Paul is very opposed to Bolton and "reserved" about Rudy for SoS. He seems to think both have had some had positions that are diametrically opposed to what Trump ran on. What, No honeymoon?
