Very shrewd. Show your inclusiveness by reaching out to your opponents and seeking their input. Once concluded you pick your person and demonstrate that you’ve looked at everyone and open-mindedly considered everyone. Trump may be a lot of things, but he ain’t stupid and he’s a good businessman.

Instead of saying “Noooooo”, ask yourself “Why choose a governor as SoS?”. What does he bring to the table?

After all, the MSM is not going to give you the truth so why immediately believe them?

I'm envisioning a scene from an underappreciated, Richard Dreyfuss film called "Let It Ride". Dreyfuss's character is at the horse races and is having a phenomenal streak of luck. He's saddled with a pessimistic and very unlucky buddy.

At one point, they're having an argument and Dreyfuss asks him who he likes in the next race. When his buddy replies, Dreyfuss pulls out his pencil and strikes through the name on the card.

He then asks his buddy if he has a brother, and for him to call him up and ask him who he likes because "it's gotta be in the blood."

So, I'm picturing Trump reaching for his pencil, saying "So, Mitt. Who you like for Secretary of State?"

Another “hawk” being looked at for Sec of State. Looks like the checkers playing isolationists are going back to the kiddie table.

The shame is, Romney would probably be a decent Secretary of State. But he didn’t support Trump at all. Could Trump trust him not to badmouth him?

Really think Nothing But Crap, the most rabidly anti Trump network next to CNN, has any clue what is going on in Trump tower?

I can’t imagine a worse choice. Guys like Romney *are* the swamp.
