Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich expressed skepticism Tuesday at reports that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was the frontrunner to be President-elect Donald Trump's secretary of state.
"I can think of 20 other people who would be more naturally compatible with the Trump vision of foreign policy," Gingrich told Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight."
...Gingrich added that his preferred choices for secretary of state over Romney included former Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, former U.N. ambassador John Bolton, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Hewlett-Packard CEO and Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina.

- - or - maybe it went like this: Romney has gotten screwed BIGLY by the CriminalClintoonCabal, in some way, along the way.
Romney went to Trump and said Boy! would I like an opportunity to get back at them, give me a chance.
So Romney was on fire to do this, and Trump said GET AT IT !
Seriously, take any freeper and they’d be a better sec of state than Clinton or Kerry OR Mitt.
I like Gingrich BUT Mr. Trump was elected POTUS when the ENTIRE WORLD was against him, and YOU question HIM?
Great points, and add in a pre-disposition to subterfuge or even go rogue if it scores points for whoever Romney wants in the WH 2020. It ain't Trump, and it ain't Pence.
Also, the spectre of a Mormon trying to tell a Jew what they need to give up for a Pali treaty or an Iran rapprochement is just beyond the pale ... Just envision Bebe's face with the "oy gevalt" diagonal smirk ...
Romney as SOS. Seriously? If Trump picks for SoS, I’ll lose a lot of faith in Trump.
Romney has no business anywhere in government. Get him the heck outta here.
Newt has binders full of candidates better than Romney.....
That's an interesting point. Like you (I suspect), it doesn't make me gung ho for Romney as SOS, but, the State Dept. may well be the agency most thoroughly in need of a massive rebuild, immediately. Literally half of it should be sent packing...
I don’t understand why Trump thinks Romney is a person he has to consider. Romney wasn’t a foreign policy expert, he hasn’t run government agencies, of course he was a governor once.
But he also wasn’t supportive at all. And people who support trump don’t seem to support him.
But I expect Trump will do a lot of things that make little sense to his supporters, or match what he said he would do.
Fog of war.
Newton is just mad that Mittens did not offer him the v.p. spot in 2012! Well, he may really in the words of JFK “be on to something” in his assessment of Mittens.
I don’t trust noot or Romney.
Noot is a docent of global tyranny, and Romney is a mormon, which is the same as a Freemason or Islamist.
We do know one job The Newt can do blindfolded...
Now that she's unemployed, he can hang out with Nancy P. on some park bench and praise each other having saved the world from global whatever...
Hey, it’s Leland Palmer.
Mittens Rummy would bring nothing positive to the team.....and no respect to the Trump Administration internationally.....Why should Trump give Mittens the RINO any unearned prestige?
Trump won Utah. Doesn’t need to know where the McMuffin Man lives
Trump has done this sort of thing before. He takes a person who is very opposed to him, and puts that person into a position where they can no longer criticize him without causing self harm. Trump ends up looking good, and so does the other guy. And the other guy is forced to keep his pie hole shut.
Don’t put Romney in here. We have had enough of Mittens.
“Someone said Trump is thinking Rommey for Treasury. Is Romney a money guy? I might live with that.”
Hadn’t thought of that before but yeah, I could see that.

Maybe he could sell off non-profit making parts of the government and consolidate budgets like he did with failing companies /s (Maybe)
