Whoa: Mitt Romney to meet with Trump about possible cabinet position

Posted on 11/17/2016 12:02:23 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

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.

NEWS from @PrestonCNN –Trump meeting with Mitt Romney this weekend to discuss governing and possible Cabinet post #2016

— Deirdre Walsh (@deirdrewalshcnn) November 17, 2016 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.

What we are seeing is pure genius in action. Tie establishment Republicans with Trump Republicans. Fight the democrats.

It doesn’t hurt to talk to people who have been involved. I can’t imagine a cabinet post that Mitt would be qualified or be willing to do at this point.

All this speculation is just that at this point.

Romney is a good businessman too. Did not create something as big as Trump, but he has skills.

MAYBE he can be useful.

The Mittwit?
Seeing how great a job he did for Massachusetts really qualifies him as....garbage worker.

When Mittens and Nik’ins arent picked for a Cabinet position, the MSM will position it as though they didnt want to be a part of the Trump Administration.

Romney is positioning for 2020.

Screw that noise.

HELL NO!

All these folks who trashed Trump non-stop, enjoy your life, but don’t come a calling.

No hard feelings, but no, hell no. Okay, there are some hard feelings. Damn well ought to be...

But please not Nikki Haley, aka Nimrata, not for dog catcher, not for anythings. Who can forget her defense of Obama?

My thoughts exactly. His choice of Pence for running mate was along the same lines.

This could be more fake stories from CNN. Romney was Governor of Massachusetts. I can’t think of anything he did here that was note-worthy.

Trump is not having trouble finding qualified candidates for cabinet positions.
