i was shocked by Romney’s attacks on Trump - however, to invite someone for consideration and then savage him in the press is not presidential and diminishes the office. it reminds me of when Rosie ambushed Tom Selleck. not a fan and find it ugly. make the damn decision, already.
Trump has not savaged Romney. He has brought him into the spotlight and let the chips fall were they may. Educational for Romney & Paul Ryan at the least.
It’s been nerve wracking to even see him considered but it may be a necessary part of consolidating power by showing Romney & his confederates how little support they have among the American people. They will need to get on the Trump train to repair their images or face the consequences. From Trump’s point of view he is less likely to get backstabbed.
