Mittens had a healthy serving and seconds of crow.
POS
I'm certain it's the absolute wrong move given Mitt's liberal bent along with the fact that he did everything he could do to elect the most criminal presidential candidate in more than 100 years.
Trump is a fool if he allows this person anywhere near the the power poles of his administration.
The perpetual warfare all over the globe has bankrupted this country. Giving the @ssholes who orchestrated this whole disaster a place at the table defeats the purpose of electing Trump in the first place.
Reagan left them in as well. If we can make additional inroads with blacks and blue-collar democrats between now and then, the neo-cons will not be needed at all. I hope we get there.
Alternatively, he could spend the next four years undermining him by operating a "shadow government" overseas through a private e-mail server.
Where have we heard this story before?
I think Hillary demanded something for her own résumé. It was all about her, as it always is.
Romney brings nothing. If it’s all about him, who cares? He can go back to selling used cars.
If it’s appeasing the GOPe, then I expect we’re going to see four years of a whole lot of nothing. That will not help 2020 at all, and frankly, who would care at that point, anyway.
The GOPe does not need pacifying, it needs irradication. You can bet that they are already lining up to “cross the aisle” and make sure that nothing can come of this historic victory for American common sense.
Trump just proved that the neo-cons aren't needed now.
I can’t make heads or tails of this situation.
It could be Trumps biggest troll to take down Romney
or it could be a way to unite the party which has merit
additionally it could be a way to hold the reins in on little Paul Ryan to basically neuter Ryan and keep him under Trumps thumb
Ryan is a little boy that can’t do anything without Romney
I have been saying this is a Trump headfake. Romney is so wrong for this job I can’t believe he would give it to him. I hope I’m right.
I’m just not sure that Trump would waste this much of his own time if it weren’t productive in some way.
Won't stop the concern trolls from forgetting what bullet we dodged and close their eyes to the winning happening even before he takes the oath, from peeing their pants over their "concerns"...
To all the folks who fit the description, do something useful:
They’re bacon-wrapped snails. It’s a delicacy. Try it, Mitt.
Whomever Trump picks, the question should be will that person be tough and strong enough clean out the Clinton sycophants in the State Department.
Romney doesn’t have the guts to do it, It will take someone with a Gingrich type personality.
Small portions.
That's my guess as well. Trump is playing the long game here...and not the short game that so many here at FR want him to play. Romney is a smart choice. I don't really like it...but it's a logical choice. Trump is a coalition builder...he knows how to put a team together who will do his bidding. He is playing for 2020 and beyond...and there won't even be a 2018 GOP congress if the GOP doesn't unify. Let the dems distruct.
While important...the SoS isn't some rogue agent who implements their agenda. If anything it should be harder for Romney to be SoS than for Trump to have him as SoS...because Romney will have to do the bidding of Trump internationally.
He has the disposition to be SoS. He's a better choice than some of the others who have been mentioned...since I think they are best suited for other positions. If we at FR were to get EVERYTHING we want in Trump...I dare say we would end up with nothing at the end.
Romney does not concern me that much. I think trumps focus is domestic .
