Gingrich: Would Romney Be Trump’s Secretary of State or His Own Secretary of State?
Breitbart ^ | 11/23/16 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 11/23/2016 9:26:28 AM PST by bobk333

“Governor Romney wanted to be president, not secretary of state,” Gingrich said. “And you have to ask the question, when he goes overseas, is going to be the secretary of state for President Trump or is he going to be Mitt Romney’s own secretary of state? I would hope, and again I would support whoever President-elect Trump picks because he has the right as the new president to build the team he wants to build. But I would suggest there a lot of other people who are more qualified than Romney on foreign policy and are also have not been actively hostile as he has been.”

I don't know why Trump is even considering Romney. Romney is weak and would perceived as weak by world leaders. He hates Trump. He would be an awful choice.

Rudy Guliani should be Secretary of State, if he wants it. I can't think of anyone better for the job. He has performed two miracles: cracking the Mafia and cleaning up New York. I think he has more miracles up his sleeve for some of the world's thorniest problems. I can't think of anyone who would get more respect from world leaders.

Trump should stop messing around and make Rudy Secratary of State. He is lucky to have such a tremendous candidate available.

Totally agree. Why is Trump jerking Rudy around like this? Just appoint the man. He deserves whatever he wants.

Please, everyone, go over to the website where you can voice your opinion - re: being sure Mitt Romney is not appointed SOS......https://www.greatagain.gov/.

President Trump’s communications people will surely be reading those submissions. I can only hope many will make clear the opinion that Mitt Romney should not be allowed into a Trump administration.

Conway said on Fox last night she could understand putting a #nevertrumper in the administration but was hoping it would be limited to 1 and not “5 or 6.” She said that would be her preference.

Now that we have Haley, the quota has been met.

Nigel Farage for Secretary of state ... 3/4’s jokingly.

Anybody remember if Obama was ever invited to meet the queen and the royal family?

I agree with what some have said that if you must appoint Romney, make him head of the VA or Secretary of the Treasury. We don’t need him in such a big on-camera role.

But they say Trump thinks he “looks the part” out of “central casting.” Trump is in full Apprentice mode and his casting the part based on looks.

Romney should take a lesson from what Trump did with Cristie when Christie started running the transition team as his own. He won’t last a minute if Trump thinks he’s running Romney’s State Dept.

Yes, and his gift to her was an ipod full of his own speeches. So arrogant and childish.

NO to Mittens!!!

Mitt Romney LOST, and when Trump announced, instead of standing with his party, he disassociated himself, and started the #NeverTrumpers....

He endorsed Ted Cruz, had everything rigged here in Utah so Ted Cruz took the 40 delegates from Trump, there were a lot of us that took phone videos of this happening...went to court, and got the 40 delegates back for Trump...

Then what does the rotten POS do, he goes out and gets Egg McMuffin to run against Trump...Egg McMuffin was with John McCain in Iraq with ISIS and Bagdaddie...you can search it and see pictures of them together...

And now he thinks he wants to work in the Trump Administration??? Up his!!! The only work Trump needs to give him is picking up dog poop in the National Park in Iceland!!!

NO, NO, NO TO MITT ROMENY ON ANYTHING!!!

Romney needs to be named head of General Services Administration. Deposing of used cars. Outdated military surplus. Rusting ships. Etc.

When I saw that item about Trump liking Romney because he “looks the part” out of “central casting,” I thought I was reading an article from The Onion. Either Trump has lost his mind, or he’s jerking the media (and Romney) around. LOL.

I don’t think he’s jerking Rudy around. Rudy may want Homeland Security as much as SOS...depends on how much travel he wants to engage in. If Rudy would rather not live out of a suitcase, he might prefer Homeland Security.

We just don’t know. I see where Trump is going with his interest in Romney. He wants to go outside the box as much as possible and he wants to “bring America together”. His political instincts are telling him that Romney on his team would help him with tough Senate votes and with quelling rebellions from the old establishment.

In the end though I believe he will probably not go to Romney as much as he’d like to shake everyone up. Romney was too much his own person and too much a real a**hole throughout the campaign. He might decide to bring in someone different from the establishment camp into an important position.

Yeah....and he "toasted" the Queen at an inappropriate time.

The setup: The president was finishing his remarks at Tuesday’s dinner at Buckingham Palace when he set down his note cards and picked up his glass. “Ladies and gentlemen, please stand with me and raise your glasses as I propose a toast: To Her Majesty the Queen, . . ”

The screwup: At this point, the band launched into “God Save the Queen” — but Obama continued speaking over the music: “. . . for the vitality of the special relationship between our peoples, and in the words of Shakespeare, ‘To this blessed plot, this Earth, this realm, this England.’ To the Queen.” She gave him a look, he set down his glass, and then stood motionless until the music stopped. Then everyone picked up their glasses. Oops.

Used cars, outdated military surplus, rusted ships ... and failed presidential candidates.

Trump’s done a lot of work on beauty pageants.

Let’s hope Trump’s gift isn’t a box of Trump steaks.
