Romney would seem to fall into the anti-Putin camp; his choice for SOS may well be a splendid one. 

We'd have to see, as said, he definitely warned of the danger Russia posed in 2012 and was laughed off by Obama and the DNC.

And my dignity is intact unlike yours. 

Now pucker up boy.

No it's not, you anti-Romneys and anti-Trumps might as well be pro-Obamas in my book.

And everything the left represents, you don't fight it, you allow it to happen.

Your luminary is a senator who has accomplished close to nigh.

WHA???

Remember all the screeching at TOS about a potential bailout of Detroit?

Apparently they're all for it now.

[TomSea]

Romney is an anti-Putinista like Sessions and Pence, but leave it to those who are not concerned about bigger things to use this as an opportunity to attack Trump.

What's important?

What's important is getting the best man in there to do their job, period.

Not if he's a Mormon or millionaire and so on.

Yeah, as long as it's my liberal. 

Anyone who believes fed administered urban renewal is a good idea is seriously out of touch and seriously liberal.

Lyndon Baines Trump I guess...

But instead of The Great Society...we'll have The YUUUGE Society.

[wolfcreek]

Better local governance is needed. If the Feds filter down money it will just be wasted.

I can't disagree with that but, a lot of private money/financing will be used.

You'd rather sit back and watch the rest of the country crumble?  The time is now.

[TomSea]

Secretary of State is going to involved in an auto-bailout? Man, there is not even rationality here.

[libertybele]

I thought Trump was going to squash these GOPe types like bugs, not hire them.  There goes another campaign promise down the toilet.

I like Romney.  Let's face it, had he won over Obama this country wouldn't be on the brink of collapse, nor would Putin have made the advancements that he has.  I think Romney would make an excellent Secretary of State.

[Rivergirl]

rush, scammity, Levin and I am sure there are others who spent years bashing the so called establishment republicans.
These republicans were elected by the people in their communities and it seems to me that the loudmouths wanted to decide who should be elected.
Well, their never ending bashing worked, didn't it.
Now we have a know nothing reality show conman for president.

[Right_in_Virginia]

It seems to be mere speculation about offering him a position.  It could just as likely be misdirection.

Yup ...  I'd love to be a fly on the wall for THIS conversation.

Yeah, Team Trump is just throwing names out there now in a desperate attempt to get everybody on board. Most of the names will never reach confirmation and most of those that do will be rejected.

[Right_in_Virginia]

First "Ayotte, then Cruz,now Romney" have the FR people freaking out.

LOL!  They've calmed down  @GrouchoTex .... you should go visit again, the thread has become very clever and quite funny.

I agree.

I don't like Romney on social policy, but in other areas he is excellent. Who knows maybe Trump won't be a total disaster.

I disagree.

I think almost all the nominations, if not all, will be confirmed and it will be done quickly. Also, I think Trump wants to do well so everyone will know "he's a winner". If that means bringing in people who disagree with him on policy, or his lack of character, he'll do it. He'll keep those that disagree with him on policy in positions where they won't affect policy. He does see a big picture.

Freakers ain't happy, lol. 

Freepers will never be happy.  They made a god out of trump and he can do no wrong so ... what to do when he does stuff they don't like?

Justify, whine, ignore??  What to do?

Six dimensional chess in play here...

Let me know when trump masters tiddldiwinks.

Always the need to dump on Ted Cruz.  You may require extensive therapy.

I would like a Romney appointment to Sec of State but I'm not celebrating anything Trump MAY do.  I'll wait till he actually does something.

Whats more disgusting is how many people here have excuses for him.

They hadn't got up to 50 yet when I saw it, but they were going after Haley, also.
It's all just a bored media not interested in covering real news.
Not that the cabinet isn't a big deal, but every hour a new name comes out and it's been all of nine days.
Riots? What riots?

I can't complain with what I've seen so far, as far as cabinet picks, etc.,  though.
Some I like more than others, but we all go through that.
Pence is still the #1 pick made so far, and that is turning out really well.

Could be Trump is calling his enemies in on the pretext of a position so he can watch them crawl to him, then he will reject them.  Humiliate them is the Trump payback.

Throwback to 2012
