Romney: Clinton Encouraged me to Consider Being Trump's Secretary of State
The Hill ^ | 06/09/17 | Julia Manchester

Posted on 06/09/2017 1:33:39 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney revealed Friday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton encouraged him to think about being President Trump's secretary of State.

Romney, who is also the former governor of Massachusetts, made the comments at his annual political summit in Park City, Utah.

While he was a vocal Trump critic during the presidential campaign, Romney was under consideration to be Trump’s secretary of State before Trump picked Rex Tillerson, who was then serving as CEO of Exxon Mobil Corp. Romney said he would have been willing to serve as the country’s top diplomat if Trump offered him the job.

“If I could have helped shape foreign policy to protect the country I love, I would have been more than willing to do so,” Romney wrote in a letter to The Salt Lake Tribune in December.

Wow!

Hillary trying to plant the ultimate anti-Trumper GOPe/RINO P.o.S. scumbag to sabotage Trump!

I wonder how close Romney came to being tapped for that post? I know that Kelly Ann Conway was swamped with messages from folks like us on every social media outlet she had an account and apparently fought against Romney with all her might. That SHOULD have earned her with some major cred with Trump. If not then, then certainly now with Romney’s confession of being a Hillary agent.

Likeminded indeed. It’s just a game & they’re all players. They don’t care about the people or the country.

You are a very little man, who doesn't understand WHY the Clintons went to the president's second wedding; not to mention that you are obviously still a #NEVERTRUMPER.

Get over it.

Trump probably decided that with the sissy he had running the FBI he did not need another one running the state department.

How did it get to be up to Clinton, or Romney, to be Trumps Secretary of State?

Romney: Clinton Encouraged me to Consider Being Trump's Secretary of State

The "Establishment" are the same connected people in both parties. This is why they are so buddy buddy.

A Decent Republican wouldn't give Bill Clinton the time of day, let alone listen to advice from him.

I didn’t know the Clintons went to his second wedding, as well. I only knew about the third wedding.

Yes, Romney is trash. His religion got his sad ass out of Vietnam. The men I/my unit lost are numerous. He is garbage.
MACVSOG’s three C&C Detachments had the highest casualty rate in all of SF in Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia/North Vietnam. I honestly would not fight with these fags, lesbians, and all these women in the military today. This PC social experiment BS has ruined the combat readiness of our military. Riding up and down roads in so called armored vehicles is exactly how the Russians got their asses blown up/out of in Afghanistan. Where did these damn generals learn that this mech infantry BS will defeat insurgents/guerillas? The infantry officers advanced course teaches this crap in Europe-not Iraq/Afghanistan. We saw two SF A teams take Afghan using the Northern Alliance and Karzai’s men. Then the Marines came with conventional BS. The military senior officers are PC/MC/AA idiots, not combat leaders.

And how do you do that with your worthless butt tied to the “elders” in Salt Lake City?
