Mike Huckabee: Trump Putting Romney in Cabinet Would 'Insult' Voters

"I don't see any way in the world that Mitt Romney would have a cabinet position in the Donald Trump administration," the former Arkansas governor told Uma Pemmaraju on Fox News...

"It would really not so much be an insult to Donald Trump," he said. "It would be an insult to the supporters of Donald Trump, who went out there and faithfully stood behind Donald Trump, to give a guy a job who basically said all those supporters were following a con man.

"That would be an insult to the voters..."

"We had a far-reaching conversation with regards to the various theaters in the world where there are interests of the United States of real significance," Romney told reporters after leaving the meeting. "We discussed those areas — and exchanged our views on those topics."

He called it a "very thorough and in-depth discussion in the time we had.

Maybe Bolton's and Huckabee's words will avert this decision if indeed, it is in the mix.

The Huckster is garbage. He is just jealous that no one is interested in a backbencher like him.

My oh my. How will the militant types spin this? Romney said worse things about Trump than most of NeverTrump ever did.

So if they 'forgive' Romney and not us evil ex-Freepers, then I guess it really was the personality conflict here it seemed to be all along and they have no way to hide it.

...hmm...I wonder why Huckabee feels he is an authority on the conversation that transpired between Romney and Trump.  Does he know for certain that Trump and Romney even discussed a cabinet position??

The Huckster is  a Trumpy boot licker who thought he had sway because he attacked rational people questioning Donny. He was wrong as usual.

Huckster says things to stay in the media light. Right, wrong, liberal, conservative...doesn't really matter. When he speaks, he's padding his clip file.

Does it realy matter? He could pick Romney and you would find someway to twist it into something good. One of the few times Trump made a statement I believed 100% was about shooting someone and not losing a single vote.

I agree, Romney was a leader of the NeverTrump. Let Romney and his ilk spend 40 years in the desert.

Huckabee better get it through his lapdog's skull that the American people are not "faithful" to politicians.  They are employed by us and they answer to us.

They will pass it off as some Machiavellian display of genius, and then fall back on the 20th dimension chess platitude.

Personally, I think Romney would be a good addition to any administration.  He is extremely talented and has made a career out of fixing things.  He is also considerably to the right of Trump on trade, immigration, and health care.

Yeah, Romney isn't my favorite guy but he does grasp diplomacy and knows the difference between not being PC and being an ass.

Is that the unanimous  opinion with the ilk over at TOS is it?  President Trump is going to need Republicans, all of them, to have the mandate he needs, and that mandate as fragile as it may only last 2 years. Continuing to insult fellow Republicans and refusing to offer an olive branch is stupid.  Trump apparently understands this, unlike some of his voters.

Allegedly, Vice Prez elect Mike Pence says Romney is under active consideration for SOS.

This is just hitting the news feeds apparently.

At first, I thought, "well, Mitt might be the best one for the job" but the point that Romney was countering Trump during the campaign is a valid point. So, we will just see how this plays out.

I will say this knowing that no decision has yet been made.  Trump deciding to make Romney SOS instead of John Bolton would be his first really serious mistake in naming his cabinet.

Continuing to insult fellow Republicans and refusing to offer an olive branch is stupid.  Trump apparently understands this, unlike some of his voters.

They need to drop the fantasy of a vast majority and a mandate for Trump.

More than 40% or registered voters didn't even vote this time leaving the remaining 55% or so to split their vote nearly equally between Trump and Clinton. And let's not forget, registered voters are themselves a fraction of the total population.

They also need to be careful about threatening men like Ben Sasse and even Lindsey Graham. People tend to reject outsiders trying to dictate who they will vote for. They were going to drive John McCain and Paul Ryan from power as well but it didn't happen.

Trump's biggest problem is the fact that he made big promises he simply won't be able to keep. He's going to have to figure out how to make up for the 20 or 30 percent who won't vote for him in 4 years because of those broken promises.

Huckabee got it right though.

At least, he could win states in the Evangelical South; the Bible Belt, and I'm sure all he has to do is ask Trump for a position in the Admin and he'd get it. His daughter was in the Trump campaign as well.

Huck speaks well and defended Trump.

The usual sour grapes.

Seems you made a similar comment about McCain, putting this in perspective.

He's a US Senator and yes, people care what he says.

Besides, Obama probably got a lot of fraudulent votes that election.
