RUSH: Trump's having dinner with Romney. Two things about this. We have found out now -- it has been officially confirmed -- that Kellyanne Conway was not going rogue, that she was indeed doing Trump's bidding by trashing Romney the way she was. I tell you, Newt Gingrich had a great line today.
He was on Fox, and the infobabe was a little distressed at all of the seeming chaos that surrounds Trump and his transition. And Gingrich got a perplexed look on his face, and he said to the infobabe (paraphrased), "This isn't chaos. What you're seeing is energy. What you're seeing is somebody who's rolled up his sleeves and is going to work every day and is not paying attention to the way it's always been done: Snail's pace here, snail's pace here.
"He's got things he wants done. He wants people in positions. He's making it happen, and he's making sure that the people that end up in these positions appreciate it and know what is expected." And one of the cherries about the Kellyanne Conway business, which I happen to think may be... Well, it may have some truth to it. This was a very public spanking of Mitt Romney, was it not? I mean, it even included the rumors that Romney was going to have to make a public apology to Trump before Trump would name him secretary of state.
And Kellyanne Conway was just hammering Romney by tweeting and Facebooking and reporting that nobody she knew wanted him. So the speculation began: "Has she gone rogue? Is she upset with Trump? Is she trying to stop Trump from making what she would think a mistake, or is she doing what Trump wants to do while he doesn't do it himself? And if that's the case, what's the purpose?" Well, here this... Try this for the purpose. Trump has just demonstrated that he is perfectly fine with trashing anybody who goes off the reservation in public.
In other words, it could be -- the theory is -- it's a message to other Republicans on Capitol Hill, "Look, you want the Romney treatment? Then go do what Romney did; diss me. Go out there and rip me to shreds, fine and dandy, but this is what's gonna happen. I've got an army that's gonna go out and ruin you. I got an army that'll not ruin you, but go out and destroy you." And given how people are afraid of things said about them in the media, that could well be the case.
Anyway, so Romney's going in interview number two tonight with dinner after Trump is supposedly very impressed with Petraeus. So what's this? They're still toying with Romney. Because Trump's out there personally telling everybody how impressed he was with Petraeus and yet here comes Romney trooping in for dinner number two. And the news is out... Whether this is true or not, what everybody thinks now is that Romney's begging, Romney's groveling... (interruption) Well, I wouldn't go so far as dropping to his knees.
But begging. You know, on his knees, begging. The point is that Romney went out and he dissed Trump like nobody did all during the primary campaign. Now he really, really -- or maybe he doesn't. I think he does want it, but they're portraying Romney desperately, oh, will do anything for this. And Trump's just toying. All kinds of messages being sent here. I'm just thinking, if you're gonna go and recruit people for your Regime who have dissed you, why not go out and get Alicia Machado?
You know, steal her from the Hillary camp, put her over at the weight loss division at Health and Human Services or something. There's gotta be a place for Alicia Machado in this. Gingrich also said to the Fox infobabe, said, "This is not chaos. This is energy. This is creativity. Washington hasn't seen things like this."
END TRANSCRIPT
Holy Cow!! Look at Priebus’ expression!! He is thinking - Look at the poor dumb bastard - his throat has been slit and he is so fricking dense he doesn’t know it. And DJT is trying very hard not to laugh. Talk about revenge being a dish best served cold. Amazing.
His post Dinner statements tell me that Romney can’t get over his dislike of President-Elect Trump. After watching that I would be very surprised if he were chosen as the SOS. He’s very reluctant to say anything kind of the man. The big indicator was that he didn’t say make America great again
Let Romney fix the VA.
Veterans deserve someone with passion for change
“ Ken” doesn’t seem to want to do anything that might mess up,his hair
Wondering why we haven’t heard from or about Alan West
Or maybe ret General Jack Keane
Romney should have just faded away after the election. After all he said, he should just have hung his head in shame and not expected to be part of making America great again.
You’re right. This next couple of months we don’t need further division. Did we come this far for a little victory dance and told ya so or to turn this mess around. Also imho petreus is a horrible idea.
No, he should be ambassador to France. That’s where he went when he dodged the draft
people are mentioning Scott Brown, who actually is a vet and understands the issues involved. For example
“I understand some veterans are traumatized and cannot find the proper forms to get help. We must work with different veterans’ groups to help them get squared away. We need to take the VA outside the walls of Washington DC, with one possibility having the local armory help with filing paperwork. The vet who is not computer savvy will have someone sit down with them and find the solutions right then and there. Any technology should be user friendly.”
I saw this postulated on another thread...
sounds like a good solution for all.
Trump would need quite a lot of face time with Romney to make sure.
With an interest in some 700 company's.
You’re absolutely right. What did the vets do to deserve mittens. I rescind my suggestion.
Cameroon would be better!
You are correct, I think.
Unfortunately, Sec Romney may (or may not) be the price to pay to get enough GOPe on board to #MAGA.
It’s better than VP GHWB that Reagan was stuck with in order to take down the USSR, at least.
Keep going for a conservative majority instead of a conservative plurality in 2018, and in the mean time push as hard as we can for as much as we can until then.
The picture says so much...!
If he gets ANY job in the administration; his housing MUST include a stable in which to house the white horse.
Then how about yer liver?
Yer kidneys?
Your brain??
Your spine???
Trump flirting with a radical globalist like Romney is not “energy”. It the same old stinky sock.
No, he’s toying with the enemedia, inviting everybody and his brother in for a visit and forcing them to speculate.
His handling of the Utah Winter Olympics so soon after 9/11 proved his organizational and delegating skills. Those skills are indeed useful; even in an advisory capacity.
Agree and agree.
“I don’t think he’s like that. I think he sees some ability in Romney that he appreciates.”
Someone said it’s his (re)organizational skills, State Dept needs huge purge/reorg.
