However....Romney has experience raising money not only for himself but for other politicians. This one skill alone will go a long way in getting Congress to vote for Trump's agenda. It is better to have Romney on the team.
Romney will be playing for his own team. It won’t take long for there to be leaks of disagreements and then Romney will just outright disagree with Trump in public. It’s obvious too. It’ll frustrate me to no end when it happens because it’s so predictable
Romney also controls Paul Ryan.
I think the answer to the question about who will be selected is how Trump sees the position of SOS and what he expects from him.
For example, I don’t believe for a minute that Trump sees Pence in the normal VP role. He will have far more responsibility than attending funerals.
I expect Pence to have a critical role in governing. More like the VP of a company than the normal VP of the US.
So, does Trump see the chief role of an SOS as a negotiator? If so, would Romney be more qualified than others up for the job?
I don’t like Romney anymore than anyone else here but I do trust Trump. And I support anything he thinks he needs to do to accomplish his (our) goals
When I first hear that Trump was interviewing Romney I was definitely perplexed.

Yep. 2018 is just around the corner. And the GOP is poised to apply the coup de grace to the demofascist party. Romney has a donor network that is loyal to him. Co-opting that will only benefit President Trump and by extension us.
