I am not a Romney fan, in the least, but his remarks about Bolton were intelligent.
He acknowledged that Bolton was a contrarian and often disagreed with others working with Trump. What he supported about Bolton continuing was that Trump needs to have strong different opinions around him, not all yes men. He - Romney - was not supporting one particular view of Bolton’s or another - only that his - Bolton’s - views will not be heard with very good background behind them (like Bolton has) by others around Trump.
GWBush formed his cabinet with that concept of leadership in mind - strong different opinions and each from folks willing to voice them.
The best relationship I had in business with a CEO was with one to whom I could strongly disagree, and say so. Sometimes we argued, and sometimes it was in front of others. But one thing he knew I accepted was that him being the CEO, at the end of the day he could trust that I would do as he wanted, if I had not convinced him otherwise. Often enough, after some disagreement between us in a staff meeting (where all the other execs sat silent), he’d call me on the phone and ask if I wanted to go to lunch. We could still be on friendly terms while disagreeing on some operational matter.
Trump needs those relationships, not yes men. I think that is what Romney meant.
When Mittens is President he can do what the heck he wants but for now he can just STFU!-)
Is that how Romney ran his businesses? Ask for someone’s resignation and then listen to some useless DB and rehire them?
Romney is a total tool.
It’s too bad Senators from Utah don’t serve at the pleasure of the POTUS.
Don't ever forget, Mitt. You lost your election for president.
You don't get to come back as a Trump-hater and senator from Utah and have a say in who the National Security Advisor is going to be.
You had your chance in 2012 and you blew it. Your time has come and gone.
Thanks, Mittens! I had some reservations about Bolton’s firing, but now that you’re against it, I feel much better about it now.
Pull string, Romney bitches about something Trump has done. Somebody put him in a crate, tie it to the top of the car and take him for a long ride - please!
