Gingrich: Romney, Trump not compatible on foreign policy
By Jessie Hellmann - 11/22/16 08:12 PM EST

Newt Gingrich suggested that Mitt Romney, a contender to be Donald Trump's secretary of State, would be self-serving and not compatible with the President-elect's vision for foreign policy.

"Romney wanted to be in President-elect Trump's job, and to what degree would Romney, once he became secretary of State, represent himself?" Gingrich said of the 2012 GOP presidential nominee on Fox News Tuesday evening.

The former speaker of the House questioned if Romney would emulate Secretary John Kerry's "tradition" of staying at five star hotels and having "nice gourmet meals" with foreign ministers.

"Trump has to have somebody at state who is very tough and very willing to take on foreign leaders and say 'wait a second. I'm here to represent the United States of America.'"

Gingrich also questioned if Romney and Trump's foreign policy visions line up.

Though he's stated that he doesn't want a cabinet position, I think he'd jump at the chance to be SOS if it were offered to him.

Coming from the fat philanderer who was thrown out of congress for being a piece of garbage.

Um, Newt?

IMHO, Newt's wife won't abide the pay cut.

At 73? They've only been married a few years IIRC.

Despite this breaking into talking about the personalities of Gingrich and Romney,

Gingrich's point is nonetheless a valid one.

The two views on the surface are not compatible.

The point would be, maybe that issue could be remedied.
