senator corker or petraeus. this is very troubling. have very close relationship that appears to happen between tillerson and putin. the deals they have made together. the fact that tillerson is not criticized russia. the fact that tillerson is against sanctions when russia went into crimecrimea, into the spots against u.s. interests, in syria. this is very troubling. also, you know, the optics of having the head of the biggest oil company in the world run american diplomacy. and you know, making oil deals is not the same as being a national security adviser, knowing relationships, diplomacy. you know, i m very uncomfortable with this. and this is drawing bipartisan scrutiny. it s not just democrats. all those you said you would have been comfortable with, specifically romney, why do you think he was passed over?
conser conservetist. i have to say the talent upgrade between obama and trump is the difference between my beloved browns and the patriots and trump is the patriots right now. did you say that you want mitt romney to be u.s. ambassador to france? i think that governor romney is one of those people where given the stress that france is under, given his longstanding ties with france, that would make a lot of sense for mr. trump to do. i don t think this was revenge politics, one i think donald trump prefers mr. tillerson having spent a lot of quality time with five or six very excellent candidates, he has better chemistry with tillerson. the shakespearean drama that a lot of the media has is overblown. i m focused on the people, the people are very good. the process is very sound.
working federalist lawyer who is an originalist, brilliant man. look at kathy mcmorris rogers, she just knows the department of interior. she knows washington state. she s married to a retired career naval office. she s qualified. andy puzder, taking over labor, came from nothing. he rose to the top because he is a brilliant enthusiast for growth and free enterprise. he is a profit of the franchise system. he is going to be a terrific secretary of labor. nikki haley, as i m very happy with the team that he has put together. i m a big mitt romney fan. i home governor romney ends up in paris and tillerson the secretary of state. i m glad to see john bolton as the number two at the department of state. i don t think anyone should take that very seriously, john bolton is probably the preexnetanyach
or it s done on paper. you read what s happening around the world. but you also get special documentation and special information that nobody else gets. you need that every day in a very explosive changing world, not when donald trump thinks he is going to need it. he needs to start changing that practice, because that is going to be very dangerous if he just feels, well, this is the day i need intelligence briefing because my pre-assumed assumption is changing. it should happen every day. it should not be the vice-president. this is the president s role. not the vice-president. what about the reports of rex tillerson about to be tapped officially as secretary of state? do you envision any scenario in which his relationship with vladimir putin ends up working to u.s. advantage? yeah, it s a problem. i would have been comfortable with romney or giuliani or
difficult. and now he gets to he is a brain surgeon and he gets to lead on these issues that are going to make poverty temporary for people, not just tolerable. i am excited about that. let s hope so. trump has yet to fill he has filled treasury, state and defense are usually considered the big three. he named general mattis and the treasury nominee. he has yet to fill the secretary of state position. right. we know he is considering many people including rudy giuliani, mitt romney, exxonmobil chairman rex tillerson among many, many others. it s just a big group of white men over 60. are there do you have a favorite? is there someone who you think would do a particularly good job? are you a mitt romney fan? i m always a mitt romney fan. he has a wealth of experience. i know him personally. i know his heart, i know his experience. he is a great friend and now from utah, lives in utah. his family lives in utah. i think mitt would do a great
