I trust Trump. If (IF) for some reason, he offers Romney Secretary of State, he has to have a good reason.

Secretary of state is an interesting position. Obama can not stand Hillary yet he made her secretary of state. I never did understand that very well.

Maybe someone here could explain why the Secretary of state isn't what most of us view it as? I must be missing something.

Perfect. Now send him on a four year message to study global warming in Antarctica.

I heard on the radio that Henry Kissinger was there. Wonder if he’s looking to get “back in the game.”

Seriously though, he probably spoke with Kissinger to get a real feel for what to look for in a SOS.

I consider Kissinger one of the most overrated people, and Romney as corrupt.

If true, I cannot say I’m crazy about Mittens as part of the administration. But, maybe Trump can turn Mittens and use him as a force for good?

Donld Trump and Melania take a stroll through a department store. There Santa and his elves stand at the ready, knowing who is headed their way.

Trump, trying to be friendly, comments to Santa and the elves fro a few minutes.

In minutes the headlines appear, “Trump in talks with Santa and elves to take over the FAA.”

This is hysteria.

I’m not even sure why Trump is even meeting with Romney this weekend. Next Trump will be extending an olive branch to Mark Cuban (another Marxist dressed as conservative-leaning capitalist).

Kissinger

What I like about Trump is that he is confident enough to get advice and assistance even from people he might not agree with, but who know a lot more than he does about their area. This is a leader.

I can’t think of a better way to keep Paul Ryan in line. If Ryan tries to pull some crappola, his best bud Romney would lose his position. And vice versa.
