Republican strategist Ed Rollins believes UN Ambassador Susan Rice would ultimately be confirmed if President Obama nominated her to be the next secretary of state, he said on “Fox News Sunday.” But, he said, he doesn’t think it will be easy.

I’m not a big Rice fan, but I think if the president wants to put her as the secretary of state, it is his prerogative, she’s just got a lot of questions to answer, it will be a knock down, drag out fight, but I think he’ll win it, and at the end of the day they’ll move forward.
