Mitt’s hair looks a lot darker than it used to.

Probably black spray paint.

Kiltie, George W. Bush allowed Democrats and Leftist Republicans to serve during his administration.

Please think about how that worked out.

Mitt is a moderate. We tried moderates. It was an utter catastrophe, and ushered in one Barack Hussein Obama.

You want to try THAT again?

This clip shows Romney emerging. I have to agree with you he seems chastened and eager to be gone. Romney wanted no part of the reporter’s questions and did not bring up any possibility of working in Trump’s administration.

I’m not so sure Trump offered him a job; rather, I think he sees Romney as the titular head of the GOPe, and he wants Romney to bring the GOPe on board the Trump Train, to establish a real mandate. Trump does not see the Bushes as the head of the GOPe; I think Trump sees the Bushes as snakes in the grass.

Trump’s ultimate revenge. Romney will feel like a low-down dirty dog for the rest of his life.

Mitt could serve as US ambassador to Samoa (formerly British Samoa)--it's 15% Mormon.

Better there than in the cabinet.

After Romney said a few words to the press, he turned to his right, where he had gotten out of a white car upon arrival. The car had been moved to his left where it looked like the front passenger door was locked before Romney signaled to the driver. No one opened the car door for Romney either time though a woman greeted him upon arrival.

I am so happy that Trump has so many venues where he can meet people. I hope he gets rid of all the press photographers' loud clicking cameras. Are they still needed in the age of digital cameras?

I’m thinking you’re right more than the media.

But then what’s new?

Because there was a very public photo op and I did not get any feeling of love.

They buried the hatchet but I don’t see Romney as ever being much of anything unless the NEVERTRUMPs take over.

That looks more like Wildroot Cream Oil to me, and I’ve used them both....when I sported a DA hairstyle. JMHO.

We’ll see. But so far, looks like a rick-roll.

... or a Mitt-roll.

I think Romney is not going to do much with Trump. He didn’t look happy at all leaving the meeting. However they are going to meet at events and Trump is the leader of the party. Now they have a public truce.

Surely this is a gesture by Trump to make Romney look half-way relevant again to the public rather than offer him a position in his administration.
