no need to SHOUT ;)

That’s what the libs do - to try to hide that they’re either not sure of what they’re saying - or are outright lying and know it. Or, as Ayn Rand wrote: the minute you raise your voice, you’ve lost the argument.

[Safrguns]

thought he was a senator.

[Ladysforest]

“Rudy - not awfully diplomatic when he gets excited.”

I was thinking the same. That and he sputters.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I don’t see this.

[Safrguns]

Guess not any... my bad.

He’s still political toast if he is hired onto Trump’s team...
and probably by design.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Agreed.

[maine-iac7]

Maybe Trump knows things we don’t

FINALLY.

a rational thought! ;)

Gee, ya think he just might know more of what's what than we do, sitting in our little corners over our keyboards?

He didn't get where he is by being stupid - and just about everyone that works for him has been with him for years, which speaks to his ability to put the right people in the right spots - and they obviously have loyalty to him for a reason...

If there’s one thing Romney knows about, it’s China’s currency manipulation and trademark violations.

Rudy’s going to get DHS.

[smokingfrog]

Why would Trump want a “choker” as his SOS?

[Finalapproach29er]

Terrible mistake.
See: VP George Bush (1980)

[EnquiringMind]

Rudy’s going to get DHS.

I can live with that.

[klimeckg]

Are non-competes allowed in this process? I’d make Romney sign a non-compete, a non-Lobby and a libel suit if he were to be fired at any time of his employment until 2021.

[Brookhaven]

Doesn’t change the fact that Romney betrayed his own party and helped elect the Democrat.

[scottiemom]

Interesting thought that he may indeed be “dealing” with Romney. Our president elect is a clever man. What better way to deal with Romney's disloyalty than to throw him a bone in the form of a “possible” appointment? Kills two birds with one stone. Romney's take on it is “well...at least I was under consideration” while Trump knows he never seriously considered him in the first place. It will keep Romney from shooting his mouth off again.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

For me, it's not a matter of “friends”. I really do not find Mittens trustworthy. I don't doubt his patriotism but he is the kind of “hey look at me” guy who I could see staging Trump if he had the opportunity.

[Rockitz]

Foreign relations is mostly about business so this is a very reasonable consideration. Plus Mit is light years ahead of either of the past two people to hold that position.

[Reily]

Must politicians are “Look at me! Look at me!” kind of guys & gals!

[Chickensoup]

this is a serious mistake.

There are better choices.

Trump has worked hard not to have crony dynastic people in his administration.

This blows it apart.

No Trump NO!

[DoodleDawg]

Trump needs cabinet members he can depend on to follow his policies, and not their own. To pursue his agenda, and not their own. I don’t think Romney can be counted on to do that.
