good

he was no good anyway.

Good, it would have been a circus.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Thank goodness.

 

[Lakhota]

Petraeus knows chaos when he sees it.

 

[Doc1]

LMAO, you moron. We ALL know you would have been shitting your pants had he attempted to go through with it.

Who in their right mind would want that job? I mean seriously...

how much does it pay?.....

If you are qualified for the job, I'm pretty sure you could find another job that would pay as much for a lot less hassle. If Senators make $175,000 a year, I'm sure it isn't more than that.

 

[Desperado]

You say that like it is a bad thing!
Looks like we dodged a bullet there

 

[Lewdog]

I didn't want Petraeus... but that should say something when even he would turn down the job. Sitting at home on probation is better than working for Trump.

Slightly more I believe, but you're close.

The National Security Advisor and Secretary of State are the most important jobs out there.....it is amazing that this position does not require advice and consent from the Senate

Too bad, he would have been an excellent national security adviser.

 

[Care4all]

How about Condi Rice? Or Powell?

Exactly. No one wants their reputation ruined working for this lunatic.
I'm so glad the other choice came out and explained why he wouldn't work for him.

Patreus wanted to pick his own staff.

 

[depotoo]

He turned it down knowing what hell the hearings would be, betcha anything. I doubt he would have wanted his family to relive his scandal publicly again..

National Security Advisors don't go through confirmation hearings.

Exactly, but Trump wants McFarland to stay on as deputy national security adviser.
