1. I don't get Pompeo's thinking. Why not go to the last repug SOS, or John Kerry even?

I mean trump is almost daily railing against Hillary, and then of course his stupid statements against her.

Should she just tell him to get lost?

2. He did. He reached out to several former SOS about it

Hillary gets the attention because of the dynamic between the two.

4. even though he called Kerry a 'traitor'

Pompeo reportedly reached out to John Kerry for help as well, but there’s no indication that Kerry was even close to being interested. Small wonder, Pompeo previously endorsed the idea that Kerry was a “traitor.”

7. He reached out to all former SoS per Politico - the source of this

He also liked a comment calling Kerry a traitor. I assume that BOTH Clinton and Kerry will speak to him and give him the best advice they have on any situation they are asked of. They are patriots.

I remember a podcast where Heather Higgenbottom, a long term Kerry aide, spoke with surprise that Tillerson failed to speak to Kerry or anyone else from the Obama State Department. The norm is that everyone speaks at least to their predecessor.

Consider both Hillary and Kerry spoke to many Republican SoS - including Kissinger. There were many here who faulted it them for doing so. However, there is never a downside to listening -- and some insight could help them on the current problems.

3. He's got some nerve.

5. Why would he do that??

Does he need Democrats in order to be confirmed?

Isn't he a sycophant for Trump?

6. No Idea. I would not be polite to him, to say the least.

edit: I did read that Ron Paul will not vote him so he's on tenuous ground to begin with.

8. Ha ha ha

That's Hillary laughing in his face.
