Donald Trump, Rival Mitt Romney Have 'Great' Meeting as Trump Races to Fill Cabinet
NBC News ^ | Nov 19 2016 | Phil McCausland and Vaughn Hillyard

Posted on 11/19/2016 12:13:36 PM PST by mdittmar

Mitt Romney emerged Saturday from a closed-door meeting with President-elect Donald Trump — a face-to-face sit down he called "thorough and in-depth" after they traded bitter barbs with one another during a divisive election.

Trump and Romney seemed to bury the hatchet at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey — where the businessman-turned-politician moved his White House transition team for the weekend — in a meeting that started shortly after 1 p.m. ET and lasted about an hour and a half.

Trump walked the former governor of Massachusetts outside and told the press, "It went great."

Here’s how it is, it’s Trump’s way of saying, “Hey look Romney, I won anyways. I offer you a truce to stay out of my way, and respect the fact that I don’t need you to win.”

I think Trump was just burying his hatchet there.

Yeah, the NY SLIMES and NBC News I won’t believe. I trust DJT’s tweets more than both of these liberal fascist cabals combined.

That I can appreciate. There’s nothing wrong with meeting and saying nice things to each other. Bury the hatchet and move on. And for Trump, I hope that’s move on without Romney in his administration.

I agree 100%. Mitt has talents and one of those talents is breaking failing companies down and buildng them back up into profitable concerns. The VA is a broken mess and Mitt can do for America and her vets a long lasting service by rebuiding the VA. In fact, Dr. Carson should assist as an advisor with revamping the VA healthcare system.

Trump would never have Thorsten Howell III in his cabinet.

Is this all just the most amazing thing you have ever witnessed? For a moment, I thought we’d be able to breath once he’d won!!! See, I’m still naive! I’m hanging on to the idea that many Americans have woken up to the reality some of us have been yammering about for decades. WE have to find a away to stop this media from playing with the truth/language and controlling this debate.

We saw a number of people who loathed Christ, even enough to send Him to Calvary, who believed afterwards.

It was then only the devil who was calling them committed enemies. Christ, personally, did not.

Even His own disciples had a hard time here.

The reason I speak this way is because we have a pretty obvious example of what bible theologians call a “figure of Christ” in Donald Trump. Many aspects of the character of the Lord are now playing out in this sinner’s life, and it’s all due to the grace of God. It’s good that Trump, not you or even me, is the police over who deals with him and how in the future, now that he has the catbird seat.

You think Donald, on the roll he is on now, is going to now be stymied by a bunch of losers in Soros paid press bureaus?

I don’t think so.

No, that’s what I meant by having experience in healthcare. Romney has firsthand knowledge of how not to do things.
