I remember that Trump did endorse Romney and thought he would be a good president. Nothing has changed that opinion. I do not believe that Trump will stab conservatives in the back on this. I can live with Romney as SoS, but not with Trump having to expend political capital or diminish his standing with his base to hire him.
As much as I detest Romney, he is still more conservative than ANY head of state he will ever meet with. Maybe excepting Marie la Pen if she has any chance.
Romney was almost the president. The rest of the world will treat him with deference and respect from day 1. Trump will have no difficulty managing him, and he will do a good job.
The real silver lining is that Romney will be out of the country most of the time.
Spot on.
SOS is mostly about Pomp and Circumstance internationally and Romney pulls that off well. POTUS calls all the shots anyway. The position is eye candy on an international stage and Rudy doesn’t bring it.
The heavy lifting in this adminstraton will come legislatively and Trump will need the whole mixed multitude to make serious changes. Rinos must be on board to get it done.
