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.

In your scenario I would rather have Sessions’ approval go through than Tillerson’s.

GLENN BECK has a beer belly, who would have guessed...

What a disappointment he made of his life and career...

It is time, past time actually, for that group of Trump traitors to grow some balls and act like Americans..

I’m just stunned he chose a crony capitalist who has been decorated by KGB Vlad for the most important cabinet post.

There probably isn't much more I can add to the other responses you've already gotten, but I will say this:

It takes certain unique skills to be an effective SoS. As CEO of one of the world's largest oil companies, Tillerson has had to deal with every stripe and type of bureaucrat, diplomat, minister, politician, insider, financier, banker, investor, law firm, crook, warlord, despot, and head of state imaginable. It's what a guy in that league does every day, to bring home the bacon for his company.

He is not being considered by Trump because of his ideological or political purity. Trump, as any experienced CEO does, is looking at the man's skill set, aptitude, track record, and willingness to tackle a tough job for the good of the group - in this case, the American people, and his boss's political goals.

I think Tillerson very well understands what he's walking into, and knows that his personal views on issues unrelated to the office of SoS will be off the table for him, during his tenure, should he be confirmed.

Trump will eat Rubio alive if he tries to block the agenda. I actually hope he does try, but I think Rubio is so craven that he won’t try to submarine a president elect with so much political juice.

We’ll see.

Agree with everything you’ve posted. I spent a couple of hours listening to Tillerson in various forums on youtube since his name came up, and I have to say I am very impressed.

I trust PEOTUS implicitly at this point. MAGA!

Sorry, I don’t believe you can draw a direct equivalence between business and statecraft. All we can do is trust Trump on this one because the red flags are all over the place with Tillerson. And the Dems haven’t even started digging.

“I spent a couple of hours listening to Tillerson in various forums on youtube since his name came up, and I have to say I am very impressed.”

I really ought to go take a look myself. Thanks for the tip.

Trump has an excellent nose for real world talent, and knows a winner when he sees one. I totally trust his judgement on this, and his other picks.

I beg to differ, but that’s ok. It’s how we conservatives roll :-)

I think it’ll all turn out better than we think.

Look, the democrats will target one or two nominees. They are saying the targets will be Sessions and the EPA guy.

Tillerson is not a politician and has a clean slate. He’ll have all the right answers at the hearing and will be confirmed with overwhelming support.


They were say that before KGB Vlad’s BFF was nominated to be Sec. of State. This feeds right into their hysterical rantings right now. They will pull out all the Alinsky tools to bloody Trump. Guaranteed.

Buh bye, Mitt. You will look like a ridiculous hypocritic arse if you ever say anything bad about President Trump in the future.

Well played, Mr. President elect.

And the scallops were great.

“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.”

So you’re 100% sure Rubio doesn’t mind losing his senate election 6 years from now?

“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,”

Tone deaf? Who the fuck cares about tone?

I believe the rumors that Romney will be appointed French Ambassador. ROTFLMAO. Nobody comes out of a Trump deal a loser.
Mittens will be so happy and keep his mouth shut.
We get to put a duplicitous dick as French Ambassador. They will love him. We will love him not being here.
DJT is a friggin genius.


Bttt
