>> i think theyre clueless at the moment. and especially donald trump, who is the decision maker. i think that he is not sure which way he wants to go. i think, still, rudy giuliani is the leading candidate, because he is the one that has been the most loyal, whos worked the hardest. on the other hand, donald trump cares about appearances and is upset that giuliani is not getting the rave reviews from outsiders that he was hoping. romney looks the part of the secretary of state, although romney ...

My guess is governor haley has been a terrific republican and wants to help the country. you can get the difference between people who are looking to help themselves and people who put the country or their states interest. she is the latter. >> when will we see more appointments? >> i cant answer that because thats the responsibility of somebody else, but my guess is pretty quickly. this is a great decision maker and a super organized enterprise and business executive. there is only one issue th...
