All Romney has to do is say that he is sorry that he said some things awhile ago about President-elect Trump and after meeting with him, I am very interested in the cabinet position of Secretary of State as I think I will be a very valuable asset to his team and to the country. Done. He doesn't have to go into detail. He doesn't have to give the details of the meeting. He doesn't even have to state why he thinks he's a valuable asset. The message is short and sweet. He apologizes after his meeting with Trump; no further questions answered or taken.
