Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been ruled out as a candidate to be the president-elect’s Secretary of State, according to reports.

America’s Mayor was once considered to be at the top of the running to become the nation’s top diplomat.

However, reports from both CNN and CNBC say that Giuliani, a visible face for Trump on the campaign trail, has now fallen out of the pool of prominent Republicans vying for the job.

1. That's a tiny scrap of good news. However, the final choice will likely be

someone just as bad.

2. They'll probably end up handing him a pair of binoculars and posting him atop Trump Tower.

He's well known for his vigilance in detecting imminent terrorist attacks.

3. You know he feels like he got played the fuck out too!

Rudy stood by Trump through thick and then and now Trump might pick Romneys ass.

IMHO Rudy's fatal mistake was saying that he only wanted the SoS slot.

4. I can't imagine who would be worse, but knowing Trump's choices so far....

there is someone worse, and that's who they'll pick.

5. My money is on Rmoney...

...that way tRump can rub Willard's nose in at EVERY opportunity. I can't wait till he give him the Chris Christie treatment.

7. I think history will look at the Trump presidency as a very low point in America

maybe that's why Trump is not getting people of quality

10. Most good conservatives were purged from government

and discouraged from entering government long ago. New leaders of a locust mentality took over. Families with long traditions of public service at various levels are staying home because they won't do what would be required and be part of what the right has become under control of the locusts.

Most of those voters who were once politically conservative were corrupted and turned into a hyperpartisan force whose dominating ideology is a mindless conviction that they must attack the left, and in pursuit of that viciously irrational political goal they abandoned all principles, and even the instruction of their religions. As we see.

Low point to put it mildly.

9. John Bolton is still under consideration

he would be worse than Guiliani, IMHO.

6. HAHAHAHAHA

FUCK YOU GHOULIANI

8. I'm trying to write a joke about the Ghouliani Peace Prize

but I'm not getting anywhere

Rare is the day I'm speechless and turn to DUers for help

12. They are afraid at what would come out during confirmation hearings.

Would not look good to have Rudy taking the Fifth during confirmation hearings.
