Judge Napalitano, Darryl Castle or Gary Johnson would all do great.

Jesse Ventura would shake things up too.

Or how about Michael Schurer (not sure I spelled his name right) but he is one of the very few ex-CIA who I'd ever want.

He has done a lot of good whistle-blowing on the dirt the CIA does.

But AIPAC would never allow any of these men to hold the position.

And since AIPAC controls our government, what they say, goes.

It took almost the entire election season to make up my mind who I was voting for. Bill Weld drove the final nail into the LP coffin for me with his over enthusiastic support for HRC. I never thought I'd say this, but I finally broke down and voted for Trump. I think Alex finally talked me into it with his relentless support. It's really exciting now to watch it all get set up, and I remain cautiously optimistic about the changes that are coming.

Why Picking Mitt Romney for Secretary of State Might Be a Genius Move

Liberal political opinion-maker Damon Linker of The Week—hardly a fan of President-elect Donald Trump—says the soon-to-be 45th President of the United States is a political genius.

And, if the rumors are true, Trump's IQ (according to researchers, it's a 156) would place him among the top 0.1 percent of people in the world. Again, if it's true, then only about one in 4,300 people in the world is as smart as the president-elect.

Judging from the moves he's made so far, I'm inclined to agree with the assessments, even if it puts me in an awkward place with the rest of my politically connected evangelical friends.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a two-time failed GOP presidential candidate, is the man Trump is inclined to nominate as his secretary of state. It's not just that Romney is the front-runner for the job, but also that people in the president-elect's inner circle say the governor's the one Trump wants to nominate.

I'm about to explain why that would be the most politically genius move yet for Trump, but I need to preface this statement with some honest admissions.

I didn't vote for Romney in 2012, largely because—without getting mired in the details—I didn't see any difference in domestic policy between his agenda and the one already in place under President Barack Obama. I was as much a #NeverRomney guy as he was (and probably remains) a #NeverTrump guy.

So what I'm about to say doesn't come from any sort of fanboy-type self-destructive idolatry. Rather, just as I've been providing since the onset of the presidential horse race last year, it's an honest assessment of the current political situation.

Let's break this down point by point.

#NeverTrumpers

Even if the president-elect becomes the most successful president in history, the #NeverTrumpers won't go away. These are folks who staked their reputations—and in some cases, their careers—on Trump being a failure.

I'd love to be wrong, but I firmly believe that by this time in 2018, we'll start hearing talk about a grassroots conservative movement to oust the president as the 2020 GOP nominee. Such a movement will face an incredibly stiff headwind from the Republican Party, meaning the movement's champion will have to be a self-funded candidate.

Of the #NeverTrumpers out there, only Romney meets that qualification.
