A choice between Tweedledum and Tweedledummer.

Ya know, in the the interests of ironic comedy, a better choice for Secretary of State could not be surpassed by KellyAnne herself. But, the nasty, schadenfreude loving side of me is pulling for Mr. Nine-eleven.

I’m divided too, I’m not sure which one could possibly be worst.

I can’t wait for Kushner to purge both of them. In fact, he’s likely using his Thanksgiving break to assemble a team of photo/video editors for when he goes full damnatio memoriae.

Guiliani isn’t qualified. Not in any universe.

Poor Mitt. He’s going to get shit on the same way Ted Cruz and Chris Christie donned the brown helmets.

Rudy—hands down.

Mitt is at least marginally intelligent and not mentally deranged and hateful.

My choice, naturally, is the one who will most upset Huckafuck, Neutered and Insanity.

Clinton’s lead is now 2,104,495.

Russia hacked for him.
The FBI director shilled for him.
Wikileaks leaked for him.
He won w/the 2nd most votes.
And all along he kept telling us it would be rigged.

He’s got his team divided; at least his management style is consistent.

Good points, but Mr. Noun, Verb and Nine-eleven is acting like such a crackpot these days; the Sec. State needs a cool head and he’s such a raging crank. Not a huge fan of Romney but he’s at least sane.

Trump has told aides that Romney “looks the part,” a senior Trump official told the New York Times.

Any other President you’d assume that was a tossed-off remark, and the talk would move on to the qualifications, expertise, experience, emotional and critical-thinking resources, network of contacts, proven ability to move into a complex role etc. etc. But you can’t assume that. THE SOB’s casting a TV show. I don’t think he can think more deeply than that.

Yea, really, what kind of a small ball megalomaniac is Trump?
Does Trump want to be a statue or a key chain figure?
Looking like the key chain…goodbye rabbit’s foot.

That’s the way Trump thinks. Looks count for everything. If he’d lived a hundred years ago, he’d be a full bore eugenicist.

Why does an America First isolationist need a Secretary of State?

Well, let’s not sell him short. He also at least among employees values a slavish “loyalty” and a spurious, macho “toughness.” So I imagine he’ll be flailing about on this Romney-Giuliani question for a while.

Good point. Could just get an intern to handle it.

And here I thought all those horses dancing around Trump Tower was a holiday decoration…

At this point, at least for me, with Clinton’s defeat in the EC, irrational angry voters, Russian interference in the election, asking for sanity is akin to expecting boat ramps in the Namib Desert. Romney, incidentally would have his knees knocked out from under him by the Trumpster at regular intervals. Secretary of Humiliation, maybe.
