In March 2016 Mitt gave a speech and in it he said this about Trump:
“He creates scapegoats of Muslims and Mexican immigrants, he calls for the use of torture and for killing the innocent children and family members of terrorists. He cheers assaults on protesters. He applauds the prospect of twisting the Constitution to limit first amendment freedom of the press. This is the very brand of anger that has led other nations into the abyss.
Here’s what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He’s playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.
His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president. And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill.”
So if he is Secretary of State he starts out with this sort of judgment, having said Trump was playing American people for suckers. American people, I think are VERY tired of being mocked, called names like “sucker” and “tea bagger”, “hillbilly”, “redneck”, “racist”. If those who look down on us and call us names still keep getting on the inside, what are we to think? Therefore, I don’t think Trump would bring Mitt inside.
Trump has a pretty thick skin. He said some nasty things about people himself during the campaign.
I think it was Milton Friedman who said (I’m paraphrasing since Incan’t find the quote): we don’t get good government by hiring good people. We get good government by creating incentives for average people to do the right things.
I would not trust Romney one bit. He implemented Romneycare in Massachusetts and introduced gay marriage in that state. But would he undermine President Trump in the international arena?
I was really mad at Mitt when he was making that speech, i was driving and listening to it live. I wanted to punch him in the face or worse. And I still loathe him. If Trump selects him for Secretary of State I will feel a little betrayed, that at least some of his campaign rhetoric may have been just for show. Don’t do it! Mitt is a snake and a loser.
