I don’t like it, but Trump makes good decisions. If he chooses Romney, I am going to assume that Trump has decided it is best for the country. And he will have him on a short leash.
why would Trump need to take on a high maintenance Secretary of State?
Especially one who was extraordinarily disrespectful, disloyal and scheming and complicit with those who ran nude photos of Trumps wife during the Utah primary
Make him the Ambassador to France or Poland or something but not the Secretary of State
“...he will have him on a short leash.”
Like a dog. When Trump goes out, he could put Romney in a carrier on the roof.
Since Romney has obviously gone down on his knees and kissed the ring, he will reconsider his position of Russia being America’s no 1 geopolitical enemy.
If he screws up, he can be fired.
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
I agree. Trump sees something there. IIRC, Romney originally was anti-illegal immigration which was why Coulter liked him. Is he still?
This is not Trump’s first rodeo in dealing with difficult people. I’d give Trump the benefit of the doubt here unless Mitt actually ends up being an “Et tu Brute.”
If a Mitt knife comes out, I think a Donald machine gun will, too.
Maybe Trump knows things we don’t
I don’t like this, either.
But, there is something of Sun Tzu in President elect Trump.
Maybe he needs someone for Secretary of State who is also rich enough not to want bribes, to get past Hellary’s corrupt tenure.
