Top Donald Trump aide Kellyanne Conway said she is receiving a deluge of comments about the possibility of Mitt Romney being selected as secretary of State.
"Receiving deluge of social media & private comms re: Romney," Conway said, linking to a story about Trump loyalists who are unhappy with the possibility.
She also stressed loyalty as a key trait for a secretary of State in a follow-up tweet.

Bolton actually has foreign policy experience. Romney has what experience to bring to the table?
What ever president elect Trump’s decision is, it’s his to make.
A president is not bound to take the pulse of the citizenry and do what’s most popular; we hired him to use his judgment. At this point, I will trust his judgment on Romney.
Romney will step down the first sign of trouble and use that as a starting off point to Primary Trump
Too bad Mittster wasn't that "clever" against obozo!
Mitt Romney as SoS would be almost as bad as the last two.
“Could Romney serve as Secretary of State? He probably could”
Yeah, as Tucker Carlson said last night “ just look at the buffoons we’ve had as SOS in recent years.” Then he named Kerry as a shining example.
I guess “honorable mention” would go to Hitlary, Irritable Bowel, and Maddie Albright. The only problem we face is the burning need to get rid of big chunks of the intrenched commies in the State Department, and I would worry that Mittens wouldn’t take up the task. I guess the big first step there will be to substantially cut foreign “aid.”
f Trump feels he has to have Romney in the State Department, he should appoint him ambassador to São Tomé e Príncipe, Guinea-Bissau or Kiribati.
It would NOT be the wisest thing to do, to have Mittens anywhere near this admin.
It would be a knife waiting for a back.
KT McFarland looks good to me.
Never check out Twitter, please.
Twitter must die.
They censor us.
Trump’s gonna have to fire SOMEBODY in the early months just to prove he will and has the (redacted).
Why not Mitt??
I believe the depths of his deviousness and nastiness demonstrates it’s not a shallow “oops, I got it wrong and now I’ll be a loyal good person” on Romney’s part. Rather, it exposes his hard core unrelenting commitment toward global ideas and his resolve to aggressively do whatever is necessary to achieve those ideals. Just my opinion.
Love your passion!
“There is no place for him in a Trump administration. “
Or in the New Republican Party, for that matter.
Appoint Romney to hell, that’s he only place he should be. He bet it all against Trump and lost. Get him out of here!
Back in 2012, on a FR thread about Romney, one of my posts read:
"Romney will lose to Obama, because he fits right into the narrative of the so-called "progressives" and becomes their perfect opponent."If these "GOP establishment" types, using the Left's tactics, force a Romney candidacy, then they must be held accountable for the consequences, including the loss of liberty for their posterity.
"The Fall campaign will be a battle of ideas. Romney is no ideas warrior.
"Obama understands the foundations of his ideology, and he understands how to frame those ideas in a manner that is misleading and appealing to those whom he wishes to enslave to government.
"Romney shows no capacity for understanding nor articulating the ideas essential to liberty, and the way he frames what he does understand does not excite passion.
"Oh, how we need a Jefferson or an Adams!"
Why did Washington name Jefferson to represent America in Europe? Might it be that Jefferson, the Author of America's Declaration of Independence, could best represent the ideas underlying liberty?
Lou Dobbs did a segment last night with clips from Romney’s overseas visit during his presidential run. He was less than diplomatic and that surprised me but maybe running for president made him more outspoken. However, some of his comments were dumb.
How could you ever trust him again? Seriously.
If there is ANY doubt about him, then there is NO doubt about him.
