Reaaaaaaaally smart move by Trump. Although I wonder how much trouble he might be having in staffing up if he’s reaching out to Trumpers’ least favorite Republican for a job.
Could be that this is just symbolic outreach to his critics in the GOP, as today’s meeting with Nikki Haley probably is, and nothing more will come of it. Even if so, that’s smart. Building goodwill among traditional Republicans will buy him a unified party for awhile and keep his critics on the right quieter for longer than they otherwise might have been. And it’s a shrewd way of signaling that he intends to govern in a more statesmanlike way than he campaigned. Romney gave an entire speech arguing against Trump’s candidacy earlier this year and then pointedly refused to endorse him this summer, and now Trump’s going to consider him for a job on grounds, presumably, that grudges can’t be held when it comes to getting the best people for the job. To repeat: Smart. Makes me wonder how long it’ll be before he offers Hillary an ambassadorship.

Secretary of Commerce, maybe?
Ambassador to the Vatican?

I like that one.
Amuse him, then say thanks.
No department of canine transportation yet.
Ambassador to Benghazi....
...too harsh?
I don’t like Romney, in fact I don’t like a whole lot of Republicans, but if Trump wants to bury hatchets and drop beefs, that’s up to him.
One thing seems certain, he is demonstrating that he is a lot more reasonable a man than some of these people attempted to paint him as during the primary and beyond.
He would be good in the state dpt. But not the head of it.
HUD, perhaps. Like his father under Nixon.
I doubt Trump wants anything to do with Romney.
Don’t give Mitt anything!!!!
Department of Interior...Magic Underwear, Under Secretary
Did the federal government add a Department of Losers?
Secretary of Idiocy?
I don’t mind if he makes Hill! an ambassador, so long as it’s to Outer Bumfuckistan, and she’s required to spend at least 330 data each year in the embassy. Course, knowing Hill, she could probably start the country’s first international incident, while getting Russia involved on the other side.
possible....
Ambassador to Utah would be fine.
Ambassador to Massachusetts?
