Reaaaaaaaally smart move by Trump. Although I wonder how much trouble he might be having in staffing up if hes 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 todays meeting with Nikki Haley probably is, and nothing more will come of it. Even if so, thats 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 its 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 Trumps candidacy earlier this year and then pointedly refused to endorse him this summer, and now Trumps going to consider him for a job on grounds, presumably, that grudges cant be held when it comes to getting the best people for the job. To repeat: Smart. Makes me wonder how long itll be before he offers Hillary an ambassadorship.

NO!
Any questions?
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Is Beck on suicide watch? Hitting the bottle?
Every administration tries to include one position from the other political party. Romney may be the token democrat.

IIRC Steward was almost assassinated along with Lincoln, by a separate assassin.
Two possibilities:
1. Trial balloon;
2. Something about a tent, and the direction of the flow of urine.
If Trump hires Romney and Kissinger he’s insane. Romney will stab him in the back and Kissinger is an evil man.
I will not doubt Trump on this issue. Romney was rabid anti-Trump, but DJT knows what he is doing.
The only way I can stomach this is if it is politely following through on a request for a meeting and consideration—but not actually giving him something there’d be a chance he’d take.
Romney would make a good Secretary of Dog Cartop Transportation. He has experience.
Department of Magic Underwear?
“What we are seeing is pure genius in action. Tie establishment Republicans with Trump Republicans. Fight the democrats.”
I tend to agree. Nobody is more establishment Republican than Mitt Romney. If he can be brought on board, it will help greatly in unifying the party.
And let’s be honest- the vast majority of us voted for Mitt Romney for President. We shouldn’t act like he’s the worst guy in the world just because he sees Trump differently than we do.
No.
Not him.
Mistake. BIG mistake.
I swear they are throwing out EVERY NAME POSSIBLE...just to muddy the waters.
Minister of Negativity
Token Liberal
Devil’s advocate - could present the ultra liberal viewpoint on any policy.
Is there a Secretary of Custodial Services position?
