Our Next Secretary of State Needs To Hit The Ground Running. Things Are So Mangled Up
globally, whoever gets the slot will need to have stellar Diplomatic and Management skills and the necessary RELEVANT experiences necessary to do the job from Day One.

I can think of a few people who are highly qualified for this position, regardless of what they did or did not do during the last POTUS election.

Take Wes Clark. He knows quite a few heads of state and has dealt with them on an Executive level. He's brokered Peace Accords and made life or death decisions on a strategic level.

Hillary Clinton is UNDER-qualified compared to these people. Please note, I did not say she was UN-qualified compared to a number of others.

But her resume when it comes to the job of S of S pales in comparison to others who would be able to bring actual EXPERTISE to the job.

Would Hillary rise to the occasion after a year or so? Probably, but we don't have a year or so.
