Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will meet with Donald Trump this weekend to discuss the secretary of state position, a source close to the president-elect with direct knowledge of his thinking told NBC News.
In March, the former Massachusetts governor called Trump "a phony" and "a fraud" when discussing the then-candidate. Trump, who endorsed Romney in 2012, has called him a loser, adding that Romney begged for his endorsement and "would've dropped to his knees" for it. He has also said that he "choked like a dog" during his 2012 presidential campaign against President Barack Obama.
During the primaries, Romney campaigned with Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the Buckeye State. Last week after the election, however, Romney called Trump to congratulate him on his surprise win. Others reportedly under consideration for the secretary of state position include former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. Another possibility is Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, who told CNBC on Wednesday he's "in the mix" for the job.

Sure seems like he’s discussing the SOS spot with everybody?
LOL! I’d love to be a fly on the wall for this “talk”. :^D
Put him in the VA spot. Let him clean house like it was a Bain Capital acquisition. He could end his public service life a hero instead of a loser, and quite frankly he is one of the best guys for a job like that.
i hope not.
Obama hated Hillary, the Don hates no one is just being nice, Romney will no way accept that position.
The reforms we hope for have to come from Congress.
Trump just has to put his signature on the reform bills.
Commerce?
NoooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooOOOOOooooooooh!
I keep thinking someone is testing someone else inside the camp to see if a leak would go out...
Romney is a treacherous viper who should be crushed and thrown away, not brought into the inner circle.
If this is true, keep your mouths shut about it...
And I hope Romney accepts...
cause the president cannot fire a congressman.
Mwahahaha!!!
What about John Bolton?
Treasury, maybe. Not State.
**********
Ed Rollins has advised against bringing in ANY governor into the cabinet. They are former executives who are used to running their own show. Trump doesn’t need that; he needs team players.
With respect to Romney....I have no respect for him.
My first clue to ‘false reporting’: CNBC!!!
Remember: “If it doesn’t come out of Trump’s mouth, don’t believe anything”...
I’m not a Romney fan, but that whole thing about dog abuse was nonsense. He was the target of a lot of nasty barbs from the Dems, not all of the justified.
There will be a meeting
all the rest is speculative speculation about speculation
Leak test... Agreed!
Romney would have been a far better President than the Boy currently holding the position
“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”
Perhaps Trump is just consulting with Romney to make Romney feel included, and perhaps get Romney to quit yapping.
Is Jeb unavailable?
