Best Republican Secretary of State?

Out of all the Republican Administrations, who do you think was the best Secretary of State?

What a pack of scoundrels

Are people here voting for Powell just because he was Black? Because his record is nothing to write home about, beginning with his position during the Gulf War.

There were multiple Republican secretaries of state before Henry Kissinger, OP, including John Hay, William H. Seward, Hamilton Fish, Charles Evan Hughes, Frank B. Kellogg, and John Foster Dulles.

Stealth Condi Troll thread

Marco Rubio. Cause none other of us went from going to foam parties and gay sex in closed off parks at undue hours to a "hamberder" away from the presidency. Pete might have won that one, but seemingly he was never that interested in foam parties nor gay sex in public parks after dark.

Cake wasn't the only thing that was YELLOW when Powell was Secretary of State.

Anybody voting for someone other than Condi is most likely a man in a dress who spends all of his time hanging out in girls’ locker rooms.

As far as intellect, Henry Kissinger or Condi Rice

As far as policy, Colin Powell

Making the world better? James Baker and George Shultz

Al Haig was a pompous ass, Rex Tillerson was a victim of MAGA, and Eagleburger's tenure was so short

Pompeo was nothing but MAGA

Rubio TBD

Interesting to see that the enablers of Bush's illegal Iraq war are the most popular Secretaries of State on DL

Colin Powell would be “woke” now.

[quote] Al Haig was a pompous ass

Still remember his "I'm in control here" moment.

Had he never met Nancy?

Colin died of the COVID

Marco Rubio is a piece of shit. His parents were refugees yet he shits on refugees. Closet queen with his little lisp. I truly hope that the next guy he hooks up with fists him and rips out his colon.

In 2000, Colin Powell was one of the most admired men in the world, but Powell and Bush's relationship was rocky.

If Powell decided to run for president in 1996, he most likely would have beat Bill Clinton. We would have had a strong moderate two-term Republican presidency.

Bush and Powell both new this. Watching Bush follow the advice of Cheney and Rumsfeld killed him, but his mindset was that he could try to do the least amount of damage possible, and was fairly successful until Iraq got out of control thanks to Rummy.

James Baker probably.

Powell redeemed himself later but obviously was part of the Bush/Cheney manipulation to get the US to invade Iraq.

by Anonymousreply 17May 11, 2025 10:04 PM

Baker.
