While Conway didn’t indicate if the feedback was positive or negative, some Trump supporters and allies have tried to steer the President-elect from nominating Romney as the U.S.’s chief diplomat.
I agree but I also see that making romnuts sos could be setting him up to fail as payback.
Who should he pick? There’s problems with everyone of these guys: Bolton, Rudy, Romney, Corker
I kind of doubt that will happen though. Could Romney serve as Secretary of State? He probably could, it wouldn't ruin my day and the windfall of unity might make the first two years of Trump's Presidency more successful than otherwise.
Romney’s not at the top of my list but I’ll bet that he’s still a better pick than Colon Bowel.
Did I miss something? Did Trump say himself he’s tapped Romney for this?
We have been hitting hard on twitter about #NeverRomney...I don’t know about any of you, but I didn’t work my butt off to help get Trump elected to have this Neo=Con working in our government...
And if Kelly Anne Conway can’t get over her neo con buddies, she should step the hell down!!!
Let’s here some better options please:
Huck?
Newt?
Perry?
Trump is not an idiot... He has outplayed most of his enemies and blown away his supporters with 5000D chess moves. I do not like Romney at all, however if you wanted to stifle those that would run against you in 2 years.... pull them into your side of the line.
What ever president elect Trump’s decision is, it’s his to make.
A president is not bound to take the pulse of the citizenry and do what’s most popular; we hired him to use his judgment. At this point, I will trust his judgment on Romney.
Too bad Mittster wasn't that "clever" against obozo!
Mitt Romney as SoS would be almost as bad as the last two.
f Trump feels he has to have Romney in the State Department, he should appoint him ambassador to São Tomé e Príncipe, Guinea-Bissau or Kiribati.
Never check out Twitter, please.
Twitter must die.
They censor us.
Trump’s gonna have to fire SOMEBODY in the early months just to prove he will and has the (redacted).
Why not Mitt??
Back in 2012, on a FR thread about Romney, one of my posts read:
"Romney will lose to Obama, because he fits right into the narrative of the so-called "progressives" and becomes their perfect opponent."If these "GOP establishment" types, using the Left's tactics, force a Romney candidacy, then they must be held accountable for the consequences, including the loss of liberty for their posterity.
"The Fall campaign will be a battle of ideas. Romney is no ideas warrior.
"Obama understands the foundations of his ideology, and he understands how to frame those ideas in a manner that is misleading and appealing to those whom he wishes to enslave to government.
"Romney shows no capacity for understanding nor articulating the ideas essential to liberty, and the way he frames what he does understand does not excite passion.
"Oh, how we need a Jefferson or an Adams!"
Why did Washington name Jefferson to represent America in Europe? Might it be that Jefferson, the Author of America's Declaration of Independence, could best represent the ideas underlying liberty?
Trump has already chosen 10,000s of workers.
He doesn’t need my advice.
“Check out #NeverRomney on Twitter”
Last night I heard that twitter wasn’t allowing that hashtag to trend, which was itself a sign. If the “enemedia” is signalling it wants a particular candidate for SOS, that should be the last person to be chosen for our side...
Romney’s loyalty is problematic given what the past 4 years revealed about his sneaky devious self delusional character
I would suspect to the Uniparty establishment , as Secretary of State Romney would become an alternative to the President, and be pursued and quoted by the media on every issue, being used to play against Trump’s policies, decisions and authority ... And he might just bask in the role thinking they really did respect him as a political and GOP alternative figure ( in reality just a tool )
Donald, you knew he was a snake before you took him in ...
