PARK CITY, Utah — Democrat Hillary Clinton encouraged Mitt Romney to take a job as President Donald Trump's secretary of state, the former Republican presidential candidate said Friday.

Romney, speaking to a high-powered gathering of GOP officials, top donors and business leaders at a luxury Utah resort, said that when Trump briefly considered him late last year for Clinton's former job, Romney called "virtually all the former secretaries of state" including Clinton.

Looks like we dodged TWO bullets last November. Hillary and a disloyal Romney.

HilLIARy wanted Romney to take the Sec of State job..because she figures the job itself (rather than herself) is to blame for her ruined reputation and record

so it would (stand to HilLIARy) reason ... to ruin Romney too

......
but Romney’s ruined hisself with his constant attacks or criticisms of President Trump. made Romney look like a HilLIARy-style Sore Loser, demeaned him badly

There is something wrong with Mitt. Reality is above his pay grade.

But, hey, add another wife and become a tee-totaling god.

Because they are in the same club of globalist elites so he sees nothing wrong with hanging out with Clinton. They both look down their noses at us Deplorables.

How presumptuous is this bitch — taking it upon herself to pick Trump’s cabinet! She truly is off her rocker.
