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

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.

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

Answer: The same way the Deep State engineered Tillerson as SOS,

Tillerson personally donated to every Republican presidential candidate before Trump – but not to Trump. He was shoehorned into Trump's inner circle by the deft maneuverings of those exemplary RINOs, Bob Gates and Condi Rice. [from American Thinker]
Did you actually think the Deep State would allow anyone but one of their own to be SOS, probably the most important position after POTUS. See: Rex Tillerson: Dark Knight of The Hoax

I still like Romney. He should run for Senate in 2018 in Utah. He’d win.
