"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.
"I appreciate the chance to speak with the president-elect — and look forward to the coming administration."
Romney walked away as reporters shouted questions.

After watching the video I would have to agree with your observation.
Did you also notice Romney even starts off walking in the wrong direction and then turns around right after he finishes briefly speaking?
Agreed.
He must've been told he isn't in for any post he thought he should have - if not, he's cooked his goose. Trump doesn't like loose lips -
ah but at least give him a lousy hat
he can have your hat. I like mine too much.
I don’t have any lousy hats. He’s lucky he wasn’t scalped
Yep
IMHO - Mitt Romney initiated this meeting. First word about it was a high ranking republican leaked it, I think it was Romney or his camp.
I totally agree with you. Romney said to the press that he was thankful Trump agreed to meet with him.
This meeting was initiated by Romney. Trump was gracious enough to agree. Romney desperately needed this meeting to revive some cred.
I can understand Huck’s concerns but he just showed himself to be too quick with the lip by making that statement w/o talking with Trump first....
Yes, I will be insulted if Romney is chosen for anything.
Perhaps Trump has a position for people’s views he disagrees with and needs them to balance all the sycophants. I would understand that.
Jerusalem Post:
Pence says Romney is under active consideration for SOS.
So, I’m not sure where that is coming from. I don’t see it in any other news yet.
Pence: Romney under ‘active consideration’ for secretary of State
The Hill, I’m going to mull over this article, I haven’t read. Not sure if anyone else has posted this.
I agree with Mike. Sorta pissed that Trump even talked to Mittens.
Sorry.. hadn't read the comments at that point and was only responding to having watched the video.
No need to apologize. That was a comment on a different thread to the same video.
