#1 If Pompeo remains at State -- a thankless and exhausting job -- he will be in line to replace Trump in 2024. If he leaves his replacement is up in the air. Many would like Cruz but he can never get the vote; many would have had Bolton before he blotted his copybook; many see the former UN Ambassador as a possibility, but her independence raises a question. The governor of Florida is a possibility. One thing for certain at present, if Pompeo leaves his replacement will not come from the State Department "professionals".

#2 We need our own Boris Johnson. An alpha like Trump, but much wiser in the ways of the Deep State. Also ruthless.

And willing to abandon country-club elitist Republicanism in order to win over, for good, the working class in this country.

No one on the horizon fits that description.
