Those supporting Trump, did so to reverse the type of politics that Mittens endorses! Would be a slap in the face of all of us if Romney is named!

She’s a smart girl. She knows his record. Trump needs to listen to her.

Trump gave Mitt a chance to clear the air regarding his previous slanderous attack on Trump. And doing so made Trump look magnanimous and temporarily deflated the never-Trumpers.

Mitt, however, did not apologize or explain his previous bad behavior. He had his chance and he blew it.

This was the upshot of Kellyanne statement yesterday (she was speaking for herself and Trump).

Mitt had the chance to prove he is a man of honor...but still refused.

Buh, bye, Mitt.

DJT should dig a bit deeper into “who it was” that re-released the nude photos of his wife.

I think we would see some Romney/Romney-related “fingerprints” on that.

“People feel betrayed to think that Gov. Romney, who went out of his way to question the character and the intellect and the integrity of Donald Trump now our president-elect would be given the most significant cabinet post of all,”

+

Loving this.

Romney’s reputation will never recover.

What goes around comes around.

"Trump opting for Romney would be like someone choosing an STD voluntarily." - noted by a commenter on "The three possible scenarios surrounding the bizarre Mitt Romney situation."

I believe she decided to "come out" is because so many concern trolls and LSM rumors coincided as folks read a lot of tea leaves to try to comprehend his meeting with Mittens.

The way I see it, Trump's campaign folks do almost nothing without purpose for his agenda and this was a way for him to let Romney know that disloyalty has consequences.

I may be wrong, but I trust Trump's judgement and if he were to opt to use Romney for something, the ground rules would be firmly set and it would be to move his agenda forward. Trump isn't as naive as the concern trolls seem to think or he wouldn't be where he is right now (or through the building of his business empire.

Romney is a rascal! He is just as bad as his daddy was. I can barely think of him without a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Ugggggh...

But Trump is a shrewd administrator. I doubt that this is just a trial balloon. Trump is also completely guileless and cannot carry a grudge as far as the end of the driveway. There is no way he is manipulating Romney into some kind of humiliation. So, what is the president-elect thinking?

I keep wondering what Romney might be like in dealing with Germany, Sweden, and other “socialist allies”. I have to admit that he would do a good job with them and lead them to the same kind of resigned accommodation to Trump that he has himself adopted.

He represents a significant constituency all over the country, and this might get those people into the program.

He would be out of the country most of the time, and he would conscientiously implement Trump's policies. He is nothing if not a loyal employee, and anyway Trump will have no problem managing him.

He was almost president you know, and when he sits down with Putin, or Kim Jong, or the Ayatollah they will treat him with deference and understand that he is speaking for our whole country. They did so with Hillary, because they thought that she was going to be president. Anybody that I would approve of is not going to be respected on the world stage. Furthermore, Romney is better in every way than almost every head of state in Europe or Asia.

When Honest Abe took office, he filled his government with people who had fought the hardest against him, not for the reason you think, but because he had a war on his hands and he needed fighters who would fight. If Trump does the same, I am good with it.

People need to calm down and trust Trump.

Let Trump pick who he wants.

After watching some of the comments yesterday and so far this morning coming out of the GOPe juxtaposition to Conway's, I am of the opinion that the yuge push for Romney is coming exclusively from the RNC, the US Chambers of Commerce, and other mega donors, the so-called "Leaders in the House and Senate" and yes, introduced by Reince Pribus, to "heal the rift" between Trump and the "never Trumpers" but more importantly "We the People!"

Trump now stands in the middle between them and us!

After some discussion with some like-minded people inside the beltway and around the country last weekend, we were told that we must continue the fight, as its only just begun!

In some meetings, we were told, that Trump, his loyalists and appointees must continue to hear the voices of those who didn't support the likes of a McCain, a Romney, a Lindsey Graham, a Paul Ryan et al, must demand that their voices MUST be silenced and and drowned out for the sake of his and our programs going forth and get our voices heard, LOUD and CLEAR inside the swamp!!!

While I can't prove it, I strongly believe Conway is speaking for Trump as his cheerleader and we must follow her lead and pick up the banner and tell the "never Trumpers" we didn't elect Mitt Romney in 2012 and we reject him now!

Say it KellyAnne
If the uniparty gets romney as their Secretary of State they and the MSM will build him up as an alternative president and challenge and drain Trumps authority

What romney says and does will headline the news for the next 4 years as if he was really running the government

And having seen Romney’s isolation, self delusional, unbalanced belief in some kind of destiny and overall ego , and his contempt Trump,( and the American people who voted fir Trump) we can assume Romney will buy into and even revel all of this attention as if they really did coronate him

Why oh why is this even being entertained by trump??????

I stand with KellyAnne & Newt on this one!!! Romney was a weak deadbeat POTUS candidate, as John McCain was, when he ran for POTUS against failed POTUS, Obama in 2012. Romney handed the election to Obama, when he played weak sister throughout the campaign and let CNNs, Candy Crowley dump all over him during the final POTUS debate!!! I would not let Mitt Romney take out our garbage!!! I should state that in my heart of hearts, I believe that, DJT will not end up choosing Mitt Romney to be his Secretary of State!!! Romney should be chosen to wash dishes in the White House Kitchen, IMHO!!!

One of three possible scenarios here:

  1. Conway is acting with Trump's authorization. He gives his team the lattitude to speak openly, even publicly and she's giving her opinion.
  2. Conway is acting on Trump's behalf in some strategy playing out where she is playing a devil's advocate role for Trump. Then Trump will either name Romney (and look strong for choosing him in the face of such pushback from even his top advisors) OR not name Romney after letting his team do the dirty work of trashing him publicly and staying above the fray.
  3. Conway is rogue, going against Trump and playing it in the media.
  4. Conway has some history with Mitt that leaves her so angry that she doesn't care about the consequences and wants to torpedo him any way possible. This is really a special case of scenario 3.

Personally I can't believe it's scenario 1 or 3. Trump may let his team speak their minds without fear of repercussions (but if he does, he needs to cut that out) but I don't see Conway doing it. She's been a loyal soldier throughout, except she did seem to disappear for a few days after the Access Hollywood tape came out. But even if she struggled with that, she never said it in public. That leaves Scenarios 2 (Trump is playing the media and Romney) or 4 (Conway has a deep, personal hate for Romney and even concern of hurting the boss aren't important.

Her comments don't seem venomous, or spiteful. I think it's likely Scenario 2. Trump is playing everyone and Conway is playing a role.
