So what's the PT's thoughts on Jon Huntsman & Dana Rohrabacher for SoS?

It appears that Jon Huntsman, Dana Rohrabacher, Admiral James Stavridis, and Rex Tillerson have been added to the list of candidates for Secretary of State. I'm glad Trump decided to broaden his search since I think the initial five each have some decent size flaws.
But of the new supposed additions, Jon Huntsman and Dana Rohrabacher have kind of caught my eye. But I don't know a whole lot about either (especially Dana)except for what I've just been reading up on.
I like the fact that Huntsman has a lot of experience dealing with China as ambassador, and if Trump is serious about standing up to China, then his experience would probably be extremely useful. Also his social and economic positions seem to align more with Trump than a lot of far right conservatives.
And from what I can tell about Dana, he seems to share some of Trumps foreign policy views (like going into Iraq & Afghanistan might not have been the best idea).
I'm not real big on Stavridis mainly because he was a potential running mate for Clinton (although his NATO experience would probably come in handy), or Tillerson because I'm not sure what experience he has other than shaking hands with Putin.
So what are the board's thoughts on these people? And strong feeling one way or the other on any of them?

If it's Rohrabacher, then it looks like Mike Cernovich will run for his empty seat. For that reason alone I'm for him. That would be golden.
He claims one of his main platforms will be busting the Hollywood pedofile ring. He may get murdered before the election.

How safe would his seat be to be filled by a Republican? Since he holds the seat I'm assuming it is a pretty conservative district in CA, so I'm assuming his seat is pretty safe to stay in the hands of the Republicans. Would the be a safe assumption?

if no one bothers to show up, your assumption is safe. They can assure that with a special election.
