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.

He is that close to Hillary? That in of itself disqualifies Mitt. He would have been a disaster as SoS.

Lurch II vs. T-Rex...America came out way ahead on that one.

And the really disturbing part is Milf taking advice from PIAPS.

Thanks mittens for letting us know how much of a pile of new world order you are. You lost to obama on purpose. I was told that at the time, just didn’t believe it. Now I know it is a fact.

This only shows how like minded the Republicans and Democrats really are. Reminds me of the lawyers during Bill Clinton impeachment. They would get on TV and call each others all sorts of names and then when the cameras would go off, they head for the local pub and have a good laugh about it.

Fortunately Trump got an A+ in Bullet Dodging 101 in college.

Romney is a miserable, lying sleazebag who will say anything at all that serves his own personal interests at any given moment.

In 2012, when he wanted (and received) Trump’s endorsement for his doomed presidential campaign, he spoke about about Trump in the most glowing, obsequious terms:

Romney thanks Trump for endorsement.

But in 2016, all of a sudden Trump was a liar, a con man and a failure as a business man.

As the above video shows, Romney doesn't have an ounce of integrity, and shouldn’t be anywhere near the Trump administration – or hold any other political position, for that matter.

Perhaps she worked something out with Romney where she told him he would be her Secretary of State.

Well being that close to Hillary, I wonder why she isn’t in Park City, they do have showers there so she wouldn’t smell like ‘sour cabbage and urine’....just saying...

I never have liked mittens. Never, he made and makes my skin crawl. That smile just makes me wonder what he does behind closed doors. Plus his voice...to soft, quite. Not a trustworthy man. Seems my first thought of him was spot on.

I wouldn’t trust that gipsy as far as I can spit. Then considering the outrageous, desperate, uncivilized remarks he made about Trump during the campaign, I can’t believe the bahstid would have the unmitigated gall to even bring up ANYTHING having to do with being in Trump’s administration.
