It won't be Romney...Mitt Romney Facebook post
Mitt Romney Facebook ^ | 12/12/2016 | Willard Mitt Romney

Posted on 12/12/2016 7:10:08 PM PST by usafa92

It was an honor to have been considered for Secretary of State of our great country. My discussions with President-elect Trump have been both enjoyable and enlightening. I have very high hopes that the new administration will lead the nation to greater strength, prosperity and peace.

It’s pretty obvious that you’ve got a burr under your saddle about Trump.

Just letting you know I’ve noticed.

Romney is handling this well as did Trump.

Pray America woke

You don’t get it. If someone tries to derail a nomination, trump will call them out personally to the American people. I don’t imagine he will pull any punches and DJT enjoys incredible support, an overwhelming mandate. Anyone who stands against that mandate will be crushed. I don’t know how, but I know trump will crush them and succeed.

I think 99% of Washington and the media don't get it yet. Trump has the people on his side. He won DESPITE Washington and the media throwing everything they could at him. Trump does not need them to be successful. He's going to leave burning, smoldering hunks just as he did to all the Republican challengers and Hillary Clinton.

Trump is untouchable. The media can't shape him and frame him.

They are powerless.

Not at all. I’ve been with Trump since the “Mexican rapists”. I’m just stunned he chose a crony capitalist who has been decorated by KGB Vlad for the most important cabinet post. Totally done deaf pick, IMO.

Sorry, you guys don’t get it. Little Marco won’t face an election for 6 years. I can assure you he doesn’t give a flip what President Trump tweets about him. If anything he will want to burnish his “maverick” credentials now. What Rubio does care about is what his Chamber of Commerce donors say. And if they deliver votes for Trump there will be a price to be paid. Count on it. That’s how the beltway swamp works. Understand?

One tweet of "Little Marco is holding up progress" and Marco will turn tail and run from the pressure the electorate will put on him...1, 2 or 6 years don't matter. There's other ways to exert pressure besides re-elections.

I think there’s a possibility Trump wants him to be rejected by the Senate because who he really wants would be rejected too. But they won’t be able to reject a second pick.

Just a theory.

You’re dreaming. Timing matters very much in the Senate. Look how McCain became a born again Conservative right before his reelection. Rubio has six years. The last thing he is going to worry about now is Trump’s tweets.

That was my original idea but now I’m just thinking he’s letting Little Jared blow smoke up his you know what. That kid has no business near these types of decisions.

Well I have to disagree. Trump is going to make anyone who stands up against him a non-factor. That may mean making a deal. But the winner is always going to be Trump.

Did Reagan win every battle? No. President Trump won’t either. Taking bad advice from his 35 year old son in law on major decisions like this won’t help.
