Vice President-elect Mike Pence confirmed Sunday that Mitt Romney is in the running to be Donald Trump's secretary of state.
'I can say that Governor Romney is under active and serious consideration to serve as secretary of state of the United States,' Pence told CBS News' John Dickerson on 'Face the Nation' Sunday.
President-elect Donald Trump and Romney, the GOP's 2012 nominee, seemed to bury the hatchet at a meeting yesterday in New Jersey, after Romney called Trump a 'fraud' and a 'phony' during the Republican primary this spring and Trump had referred to Romney as a loser and a 'choker.'
Pence said Trump was 'very grateful' that Romney came to Saturday's meeting.
'We spent the better part of an hour together with him,' he said. 'And then I know that the two of them actually had some private time together.'
'I would tell you that it was not only a cordial meeting, but also it was a very substantive meeting,' Pence revealed....

If he screws up, he can be fired.
Not if they saw him as a fellow nevertrumper they could whisper to
Are we so scraping the bottom of the barrel for talent that ROMNEY is the best Trump can do for SecState? Cant anyone else wear black tie and ride a bicycle straight?
BTW, Russian FM Lavrov will eat that wussy for lunch and Merkel and any other female would roll right over him cause he’s too much of a gentleman to be mean to a girl
Eh, I’m good with Mitt being the sacrificial lamb to go in and fire most of the creatures that lurk in Foggy Bottom. He is well qualified to fire people and downsize.
The Romney
On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen Romney
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
“Oh well,” she cried, “I’ll take you in and I’ll take care of you”
“Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in oh tender woman, “ sighed the Romney
She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty Romney she’d taking in had been revived
“Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in oh tender woman, “ sighed the Romney
Now she clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried
“But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you might have died”
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
“Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in oh tender woman, “ sighed the Romney
“I saved you,” cried that woman
“And you’ve bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin
“You knew damn well I was a Romney before you took me in
“Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven’s sake
Take me in oh tender woman, “ sighed the Romney
Romney might be ok at State, especially after he’s seen Trump ream and fire Christie in short order. Romney will know he’s not going to go rogue for very long should the impulse overtake him.
A draft dodger and the inspiration of obamacare in charge of VA?
Romney is a great talker for foreign govts. He does care about this country and will be loyal to America and the Trump administration I believe.
Rush always has respect and good things to say about Romney. You can’t fool Rush most of the time.
What about RUDY?????
I suspect DOD will represent the primary institution dealing with foreign powers.
My thought is that if Romney is “under consideration”, that means he needs to be vetted.
If Trump vets him, he will then know everything about him.
It’s a great way to see what is in Romney’s closet!!!
If Trump chooses ROMNEY I think this WILL BE a slap in the face to ALL of his supporters!!! This guy is a slime ball GLOBALIST and has undermined ALL of us throughout this election!!! I sincerely hope this is NOT TRUE!!!!
“Are we so scraping the bottom of the barrel for talent that ROMNEY is the best Trump can do for SecState?”
My question exactly. What on earth puts him at the top of the list?
He’ll be as soft with Russia as he was with Obama. Along with everyone else in the world...
I agree. Trump sees something there. IIRC, Romney originally was anti-illegal immigration which was why Coulter liked him. Is he still?
If nothing else, I think Romney will be very capable, unlike the current SoS.
That’s what I was thinking.
I wish he wouldn’t!
Mitt’s dad George Romney undermined Barry Goldwater & put Lyndon Johnson in office.
Mitt Romney tried to undermine Trump and put Hillary in office.
I see no reason to trust Mitt Romney at all. He has proven to be shortsighted and untrustworthy. Traits that seem to run in the family.
Much less his plane.
