Romney did far more than bad-mouth Trump. He openly sabotaged Trump’s campaign, complete with running some stooge third-party opponent to take away votes which could have handed the election to Hillary Clinton. He could not even abide by the delegates of his own convention that openly and fairly chose Donald Trump.
It’s one thing for Ted Cruz to say awful things about Trump. It was a bitterly-fought nomination process and Cruz lost. Romney went a couple steps further by both words and deeds.
I’m glad to see Trump try to bring back together all the divided elements of the GOP to form a governing coalition against the Democrats but that doesn’t mean he has to give them jobs in his administration, much less high-profile “spokesman” job. I’d rather see Giuliani at the Department of Justice but if it came down to Giuliami vs Romney for State, I’d reluctantly choose Giuliani. At least he’s been loyal.
Haven’t we already seen the dangers of letting rogue agents run the State Department that have their own agendas more than the president’s at heart?
Exactly. It is one thing for an opposing candidate to say some harsh things during a campaign and quite another for someone who is on the sidelines. There is also a difference between not supporting a candidate and trying to sabotage his candidacy like Romney (and Kasich) did to Trump.
