Urban renewal huh? That didn't work the last time we tried it. They've been trying since the 60's.

One cannot rebuild an inner city when the inhabitants steal the equipment and building materials or burn it down if it gets built.

What a difference a couple of weeks makes! Can you just imagine the Hell I would have gotten if I just suggested that Romney, Priebus and Cruz would be great for Trumps cabinet?

What a buch of morroons!

I just take immense satisfaction in knowing that they proved me 100% right when I said they were unprincipled situational ethicists. They can call themselves conservatives all they want. They proved they arent.

Secretary of State is probably about the most difficult job there is. Secretary of Defense is very grueling as well, it's close between the two.

SOS was basically an albatross to H. Clinton.

Trump supported Romney in 2012;

Wow.

"Wow"? Are you living in a relatives basement or just woke up from a 40 year coma last week? This has been common knowledge to most politically active people.

It's hard to imagine why Romney would want to serve in a Trump administration, unless he hoped to steer foreign policy towards interventionism. That speech he gave on Trump's character was spot-on but disqualifying.

Trump supported Romney in 2012 after complaining that Romney was too tough on immigration.

"Wow"

I knew that. I don't care if you want to interpret what I said and denigrate others. Par for the course from millenial snow flakes.

They've been through a lot, enemies, friends, etc. Romney might have even mastered that bit with McMullin, but now, they are unifying the party.

No, they just don't want to sit around and get nothing done and let extreme left wingers like Obama run things, that is what so-called principle conservatives give us.

Passing the blame....such a Liberal trait.

Oooh, ethicists, well, we certainly are using fancy dan $20 words so that must get a lot done.

Do you need need us to explain what ethicist means?

Oceander · « **Reply #88 on:** November 18, 2016, 01:58:09 am »

Trump is simply reneging on every promise he made during the campaign. How can you defang the GOPe when you've made them the core part of your administration? Is it pragmatic? Sure, but pragmatism is not what Trump was selling during the campaign, so if he's turning pragmatic now, it means he lied to y'all during the campaign. Such gullible fools. Told ya so.

'We told you so' is a bitter dish that sticks in ones craw. You can tell by the bitter bile they spew who just had a heaping helping full of it.

Trump and Flynn are all in on Russia. No way is Romney buying what they're selling.

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

To his credit, Romney would strengthen Trump's Conservative creds. In fact, anyone to the right of Trump is a bonus.

His priorities also include aiding Americans, stopping the slaughter of the unborn which must make him a target to vilify.

Is this the same Donald Trump who believes in using taxpayer dollars to subsidize the abortion industry? At least Romney campaigned to cut off all federal funding for Planned Parenthood. It is one of many issues where Romney lines up to the right of Trump.
