Fox News is reporting that Donald Trump’s transition team wants Mitt Romney to publicly apologize for railing against the president-elect during the campaign.
A transition official told Fox’s Ed Henry that some in Trump’s inner circle want the former Massachusetts governor to apologize in order to be seriously considered for the secretary of State.
Trump is reportedly considering whether to pick Romney or former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani for the coveted cabinet position.
Giuliani is the preferred choice of Trump’s loyalists and grassroots supporters, while Romney is a favorite of establishment conservatives.
“It’s not about that I don’t care for Mitt personally, but I’m still very unhappy that Mitt did everything he could to derail Donald Trump,” said Trump supporter Mike Huckabee in a Fox interview on Wednesday.
“There’s only one way that I think Mitt Romney could even be considered for a post like that and that is he goes to a microphone in a very public place and repudiates everything he said in that famous Salt Lake City speech, and everything he said after that,” Huckabee said, referring to a famous anti-Trump speech Romney gave in March.

I want to see this!
Giuliani would be WAY better, ideologically, than Romney.
However, Rudi might be beyond his “use by” date, great a guy as he is.
Ambassador to Libya sounds about right.
This is another ridiculous made-up rumor story.
Look, if Trump was going to appoint him, he wouldn’t ask for that. If he isn’t going to appoint him, he wouldn’t ask for that. This is just silly. Designed to make both of them look bad.
More butt-hurt media silliness.
Romney backstabber is persona non grata at this point. He’s shown his true colors and so has Rudy. Total opposites— go with Rudy— its a no brainer.
“some in Trump’s inner circle want...”
Not quite the same as the headline or first pp.
More fake news.
Huckabee’s right.
Romney is a slimy little weasel. He disses Trump AFTER the nomination, runs the putrid little punk Even McNobody, and now he wants to be Secretary of State?!
Why? What did he do to help?
We have the greatest victory in 36 years and this buttwipe did NOTHING to make it happen.

Rudy has been so loyal to TRUMP & he wants the SOS job so bad so WTF is Romney in the running too???
Notice how it goes from the "Trump team" to "some in Trump's inner circle" to "a transition official".
I call Fake News on this one.
How about he rides 300 miles on top of a car in a cage.
Pray America woke
UNLikely to do, He has a head as big as McCain/Gore/Kerry/Hillary.
Romney will never do that. Trump just played him like a chump. The most visible leader of the NeverTrumper Globalist wing would have egg all over his face and repudiate his globalist buddies at the same time. Nice knowing you Mitt. Maybe you and your two chumps Bong Johnson and Eggan McMuffin can form your own party now.
Sounds great!
Best post of the day!
After apologizing, I want to see him get down on 4 fours and bark like a dog, followed by flapping his arms and clucking like a chicken. After all that, Trump should say, “sorry, Charlie.” and slam the door in his face.
Who is she?
