    The latest news is that he is the top contender. But I am curious as to what Republicans think of putting a man who get this - gets paid by foreign countries for speeches directly!!! I mean, we're not even talking donations to a foundation - were talking direct payments from foreign gov't.

    How is this acceptable after all the criticism Clinton has received?

    He would be better than Bolton, and probably equal to or a little worse than Gingrich.

    Bill Clinton received direct payments while Hillary was in office..... Is Rudy or his immediate family going to get paid by these governments while holding public office?

    The fact that Rudy has been a lobbyist and consultant for the very companies he now has control over their success in the U.S. is very troubling - far more of a conflict of interest than Hillary ever had. Bill got paid by companies for speeches. Rudy actually works for them.

    Rudy is going to work for foreign governments should he accept the position of Secretary of State? Has that been confirmed by reputable sources?

    He wouldn't be my choice, but he'd be hard pressed to be as bad as Hillary was.

    I am a little concerned his mental illness may interfere with his ability to do the job.

    This has been the circle of life for the Washington jungle, and ending a politician's Golden sunsets as a lobbyist is supposedly one of the many conflicting and contradictory campaign promises of trump.

    You mean other than the flagrant mishandling of classified information that would have landed anyone else in jail?

    Poor poor bobby, hanging onto the lies that get stuffed into his arrogant little head. Nevermind that 90% of mishandling of classified info never gets even prosecuted because there has to be INTENT. But noooooo, bobby don't care. All he cares about is coming on Clutchfans and acting like he knows everything when in reality he is a ******* idiot.

    Literally nothing I said was a "lie", and I've explained to you multiple times that the law says that when it comes to mishandling classified information negligence is the same as nefarious intent.....of course me spelling this out for you yet again won't help as I know you are essentially a lost cause.

    I'm sure I'll end up having to spell that out for you again later.

    Great you know more about what constitutes a crime than the effing director of the FBI. What a douchebag.

    Keep watching Law & Order.

    Read the relevant law kiddo.

    I mean, I'm not sure you'd be able to understand it given your intellectual shortcomings, but hell, give it a shot. Maybe you'll actually learn something, hell even if not, it would be better than you just coming on here and doing nothing but parroting your talking points of the day.

    Let's just all cross our fingers that he's not another Rumsfeld. Rummy actually had (albeit bad) experience. The closest Rudy has come to any of that is kicking Arafat out of a concert. But, hey guys; Memba' 9/11? I memba'. Never Forget. Always Memba'

    oops I forgot Rummy was the Sec. of Defense. Powell was The SOS during that whole debacle. Well, if Guiliani is appointed it can't get any worse than that. Can it?

    ghouliani clearly does not have the right temperament for that job, but he can rock a dress like no one since madeleine albright.
