Secretary of State

This "search" is a joke.  The position is too important for the search to be a very public game.  The "game" includes many candidates of vastly different views, coupled with the supposition that interviews of some of these candidates were Trump's efforts to elicit groveling from his former opponents.  Think Romney, who talked the talk, probably because he is willing to serve his country, even to the point of practically humiliating himself.  While all the opinions of these candidates might be valuable to this very needy President-elect, but plying the guessing game is nonsense.
It is likely that whoever is now selected will have less gravitas, less authority than a selection chosen without this very public game. 
Come to think, this is also a way for the President-elect to retain his own position of power and authority.  How will any Secretary of State in a Trump administration be able to negotiate anything?  Now that is w Trump really wants!
