President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning victory at the polling booths was successfully orchestrated by his campaign manager and top aide, Kellyanne Conway.
But all is not right in the Trump administration — and according to reports from insiders, the president-elect is furious at Conway’s recent public display of disloyalty.
The fight comes as Trump’s hunt for a secretary of state is veering into dramatic terrain, with the president-elect summoning Mitt Romney back for a second look — a move isn’t sitting well with Conway, who has begun leading a public pressure campaign against the pick.
Trump has a follow-up meeting Tuesday with the 2012 GOP presidential nominee. He also plans to sit with Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. On Monday, Trump spent an hour with retired Gen. David Petraeus, a new contender.
Aides were divided over Trump’s choices, particularly the prospect that Trump could tap Romney for the top-tier diplomatic post.
In an unusual public airing of grievances, Conway on Sunday warned that the president-elect’s supporters would feel “betrayed” if he tapped Romney as secretary of state.
Trump is “furious” at Conway for her statements, according to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”, who cited anonymous sources within the transition team.
While other staffing decisions were being made, the search for secretary of state was still underway. Petraeus said he spent about an hour with the president-elect and praised him for showing a “great grasp of a variety of the challenges that are out there.”
The former CIA chief pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified information relating to documents he had provided to his biographer, with whom he was having an affair.
Pence, who is heading the transition effort, is said to be among those backing Romney for secretary of state. Romney was fiercely critical of Trump throughout the campaign but is interested in the Cabinet position, and they discussed it during a lengthy meeting earlier this month.
Other top Trump allies, notably Conway, have launched a highly unusual public campaign against a Romney nomination. Conway’s comments stirred speculation that she is seeking either to force Trump’s hand or give him cover for ultimately passing over Romney.
Trump is said to have offered Conway a choice of White House jobs – either press secretary or communications director. But people with knowledge of Conway’s plans say she is more interested in serving as an outside political adviser, akin to the role President Barack Obama’s campaign manager David Plouffe played following the 2008 election.
Trump was considering former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani to head the Homeland Security Department, according to those close to the transition process. Giuliani was initially the front-runner for secretary of state and is still in the mix. But questions about his overseas business dealings, as well as his public campaigning for the job, have given Trump pause.

Lou Dobbs was talking like Trump 10 years before Trump was. Last week Dobbs had a story on how Romney in 2012 took a tour of Europe in an effort to show his diplomatic skills. He forgot the name of the British Prime Minister. He bungled a trip to Germany. Trump can do better than Romney.
Romney will never be loyal, he will stab you in the back at every turn so he can run against you next election….NEVER ROMNEY….Patreaus would be a good choice since he has seen the world through the eyes of a military leader…..he got screwed by Obama and Clinton. Drain the swamp was your campaign promise….Romney is part of the swamp.
I agree . need fresh blood in office same o same o just doesnt work . proved by obama
Yes Randy…., I too agree with you…, we do needed fresh new Blood for the job…., I would not vote or stand-by Rommey…..(I just don’t trust him as he was never stand for support Trump…..) Mitt Rommeny is a traitor, he is disloyal to Trump…. and I am from State of California which is Blue State of ugly Democrats State… I vote Trump to be our next President to sweep this savages of Hispanic Killer and Rapes throw theirs ugliest Problematic out of U.S. and Send them Back to Mexico…. Mitt Romney is very Kind and Weakness…..!!! We can not afford this WEAKNESS Administration new staff….. Mitt Romney must GO…..!!!!! We The People are UNITED……!!!! To stop this Lawbreaker…… And Rommey is the kind of Lawbreaker…. MR> TRUMP…., DO NOT PICK MITT ROMMEY……HE IS YOUR WEAK COWARD MAN…… HE IS NO GOOD FOR “WE THE PEOPLE”…… I KNOW SO….., HE PROVED ME….. MITT ROMMEY MUST GO…., This is the word from Trump movement…..We the People.
I totally agree…we need new “no swamp” blood. Prez Trump should stick with those who stuck by him!!!
I agree petraeus would be best for sec state
Agreed
I don’t want to choose what is best left for Donald Trump to decide! Romney has shown himself to be disloyal, self centered and by the way was a terrible candidate when he ran. I voted for him then because alternative was worse, but he couldn’t be elected dog catcher. HE will stab our President Donald Trump at every opportunity, I am a retired military officer and “loyalty” and “trust” are key to survival. Please Mr. President-Elect AVOID ROMNEY LIKE THE PLAGUE- He will never meet the two criteria I named for survival. Pick a winner, not a loser. We voted for you because we believed in your word, ability and love for the USA! Make America Great Again=Leave Romney HOME ALONE!!!!!
My comment is moderation! I do not wish anyone harm! I spent my life defending the freedom for All Americans to speak. But any CEO has to pick someone to be loyal to him. Sorry you feel a necessity to censure my words- this is my Country and I have dedicated my life to this great Country has have my ancestors before me.
Charles these folks here at the horn have been getting mighty pickey about the blogs folks write about, as if they where trying to stifle free speech.
agreed!
I totally agree that Romney should not be selected for Secretary of State or any position. I guess Trump had a brain fart like most even thinking of Romney. If Romney is such a good person (?) then he should reject the job offer for the greater of the AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Trump and Pence are fools if they give Romney any position in the government. After the way he trashed Trump during the election, why would Trump want anything to do with him? Stupid! Just plain down stupid!
Mr. Trump, please listen to reason. Romney is no good for you. Petraeus can’t keep his zipper close, useless to consider him – so … the ONLY ONE THAT CAN SERVE THE USA, IS RUDY GIULIANI. Also, that Ms. Cho I do not like her. … ditch her as well.
So right
He’ll be loyal on face value, then turn around and start his own crap like Hillary. What bothers me is that this came from MSNBC they can’t be trusted either. Go with Giuliani, a known quantity so to speak.
I agree, Romney will not be loyal to Trump.
Sorry, Wandamurline. Gen. David Petraeus is a gun-grabber. He has been working hard to limit my gun rights, and he can’t be trusted with classified info.
A LARGE toad in the swamp! DRAIN IT> NOW!
if anyone was disloyal. disgraceful.and hit you below the belt >>>>WAS THIS ARROGANT BS ARTIST MITT ROMNEY…IT WAS THE WORST TYPE OF DISLOYALTY I HAVE EVER SEEN. ,THROW THE BUM TO THE CURB…..
THIS COULD ALL BE BS , I JUST NOTICE WHERE IT CAME “MORNING JOE, THE IDIOT, jack$$$, MORONIC SOB>>>>>.SORRY TRUMP THAT SOB AND THE MEDIA HE WORKS FOR HAVE BEEN BOYCOTTED ALMOST SINCE THE BEGINNING. SO SORRY ABOUT JUMPING THE GUN…
If Trump is going to clean the swamp, you need to kill the alligators. Romney is an alligator.
DITTO
I agree I don’t trust Romney any further than I can throw him which is not 1 inch….That man will bite the hand that feeds him!!
Good one! Trump needs to look for some fresh talent instead of reanimating zombies
I agree Romney is a backstabber who pretends to be on your side then twists your words to suit his personal agenda. Gen. Petraeus has made mistakes but he is the most knowledgable and knows the territory to protect you from misteps. A man who made a big mistake will be twice prepared to help you avoid them.
Just remember everyone, we all are NOT in those meetings, and we do NOT have the knowledge or experience, and we do NOT know who would be best suited to carry out exactly the kinds of things Trump wants to carry out…
And if it happens to be Romney, I trust Trumps judgement…..Why wouldn’t I?…..
If Trump chooses Romney, it has to be because of what Trump wants to accomplish, and in his mind, and after a ton of thought and talking, he would then think Romney would do his bidding better than the others…..
America voted him in, now let us all see what he can accomplish…..Let’s not become crybabies like the very people who are showing that talent in the media, hollywood, and on the streets right now…..OK?
I agree!!! Trump has such a big ego that he doesn’t want to fail in even the slightest move. I agree that on the surface I would never pick Romney but if Trump feels that he’s the right pick I think we should at least support him until it proves otherwise. Romney is a really nice guy, has clean character etc but I agree that after what he said about Trump i the primaries there would be perhaps a better pick. But I don’t think Romney would be a disgrace to our country like some of the Demos have been over the pasts eight years. And Romney has more money than he could ever want so I think he would do the job as best he could and not be seeking donations or favors like the previous “criminal” did in seeking donations to the Clinton Foundation at every turn of the road. And I don’t think Romney would let four people die with at least trying to save them!!!!!! ANYBODY is better than Hillary was!!!
You are correct. Conway only works for Trump. He is the brains of the effort
I so agree. We are not in those meetings and can’t begin to understand the inner workings of what it takes to place the right people in the right positions. Romney did trash talk Trump but I think this stuff is the ugly side of politics. The bickering, even when we don’t like the choice, is not good. I trust our President Elect to do what’s right for we the people! Give it some time!
TRUMP SHOULD HAVE BETTER SENSE THAN THIS! I VOTED FOR HIM BECAUSE I BELIEVED HE COULD HELP MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. PUTTING MITT IN THAT POSITION WON’T HELP HIM AT ALL.
Amen, Mitt Romney is a poor choice and definitely NOT a loyal Trump supporter. Kellyanne is NOT in the dog house with Trump – quite the opposite. I believe her mission was to stir up existing resentment against Romney’s bid for Secretary of State and she’s very good at it. She has President-elect Trump’s back 100% and he supports her. This is the media trying to stir up trouble which is all they know aside from disinformation, propaganda and distortion. NEVER trust the media. EVER.
Morning Joe is wrong. Trump is not furious with Conway. He gave her the go ahead.
Trump most likely will not appoint Romney. The Trump base outrage is too intense.
Many think this is merely a tease to show Romney what could have been had he
supported Trump. Trump endorsed Romney in 2012. Paybacks are hell. This might
also soften up Republicans that opposed Trump. Making him look like a peacemaker.
After total losers Clinton and Kerry the bar has never been set lower. We don’t need a pushy political prick for this job. We need a good moral man who can grow into the job with sound support. Donald Trump JR would be a great pick who would ease tensions world wide instead of escalating them with aggression that Romney or a General reek of. We’re Romney to be placed in Somalia permanently he may be acceptable. Otherwise he gives the same odor of Hillary to the world.
When Donald Trump becomes President and if Mitt Romney becomes Secretary of State will Romney defer to the President in matters of foreign policy when he is directed to do so? I would want very good odds to made that bet!
I also feel that Romney would not be the best for the job. The only reason that Trump would hesitate on Patraeus is the fact that he disclosed classified information to his lover and if Trump engaged him, then it would make light of the wrongs that Hillary Clinton has done as Secretary of State. Surely there is someone else out there that would be suitable for this position. I nominate Trey Gowdy
Yes TG would be a great choice–stand up guy and doesn’t back down—they can’t get the B.S by him
Trump is dead wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Conway is correct about RINO Romney!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump had better listen to Conway – why not make Hillary SoS – everyone recognizes she is a Globalist and “Rotten to the Core”. If that is what Trump wants for SoS – use her. I am amazed that Mitt even was given a interview – what’s next – a sit down interview with Glenn Beck?
Romney has support from cabinet members who were on the Romney team when he ran. They need to go. Trump did not run on turning us over to the UN and that is Romney’s agenda. We have traitors in the building. Are they taking over or are we returning to rule of law?
In my opinion, if Trump chooses Romney for Secretary of State he will be a ONE TERM President.
No one wants Romney and that ‘s why he lost the election. He doesn’t have what it takes for a demanding/negotiating job as Secretary of State.
News Headlines: TRUMP’s BRAIN FART DECISION
Romney selected SOS . DUMB< DUMB< DUMB….
Ronald reagan had 10 or more CFR members in his cabinet. Id like to think reagan was naive to that marxist group, dick chaney, colin powell, donald rumfield, dick thournberg, james baker, christie todd whitman. Reagan still secceeded, wonder how much more he could hasver done without the ball and chain he had to carry around. Trump need to drain out the marxists in the GOP, THAT WHAT NEEDS TO GO, STRAIGHT AWAY
Amen
I don’t think Romney should get Secretary Of State, he’s not skilled enough for this position. His choices are not good at all.
Amen. You must remember the government uses the Peter Principle when promoting/selection of personnel.
They promote/select to the LEVEL OF IMCOMPENCY……………
Irrespective of anyone stating their displeasure with Trump’s consideration of Romney, I WAS TOTALLY FLABBERGASTED HE WOULD CONSIDER ROMNEY. ROMNEY WAS A WOOS AND SHOWED HOW MUCH BACK BONE HE HAD WHEN HE WILTED FROM DEBATING OBAMA. WE DO NOT NEED A WOOS AS SECRETARY OF STATE AND CERTAINLY NOT ONE WHO WAS SO ANTAGONISTIC TO TRUMP – IS HE CRAZY?
HAVING AN OPEN MIND DOES NOT MEAN DOING SO TO THE DETRIMENT OF OUR COUNTRY AND ITS BEST INTERESTS. I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ANYONE WHO DID AS HILLARY OR ONE WHO IS PART OF THE SWAMP SERVING AS SECRETARY OF STATE.
WE VOTED FOR TRUMP TO DRAIN THE SWAMP, NOT ENRICH SOME OF THOSE IN THE SWAMP, SUCH AS ROMNEY.
Very well said and I agree wholeheartedly. Trump ran his campaign on Making America Great again. Selecting Romney would make America weak and would make Trump look like a dog who is all bark and no bite.
Put Romney in head of the Veterans and straighten that out???
You just don’t get it do you. If you have a traitor in the building, you have a problem. What difference does it make where he sits?
NO!!!! Put Romney back in moth balls, he shouldn’t be considered for anything.
Romney will not be a good choice he is a phony
He always has been, that’s why he wasn’t elected President, the citizens saw through him even back then. I instinctively never liked him.
Petraeus Would be an excellent choice. His first hand knowledge of the Middle Eastern problems with the Muslim world and an excellent experience of successful dealing with the problems make him a person The US needs as a Secretary of State right now. Previous spineless diplomatic corps, who were behind removal of him before he could finish his jobs, led to prolonged and still unfinished bloody wars our country is mired in,
Petraeus sounds better.
Petraeus is anti gun and thus doesn’t follow the constitution. That makes him unacceptable to me
Romney is responsible for the loss of the last two elections, when (in 2008) he suddenly quit the race and dumped his electoral votes to John Mcain! Governor Huckaby was running even with McCain and won the next primary in Texas but it wasn’t enough to ovecome the votes from Romney to McCain!
In 2012, Newt Gingrich was running a head of Romney until suddenly, Romney garnered sixty million dollars of Republica Party money and was able to out spend Gingrich 60 to one in Florida and Iowa, and ended up winning the nomination! Remeber the lack luster debate between Obama and Romney?
Please persuade Trump to Dump Romney! Thanks! Claude Grayt Trump to
Petraeus is besmirched with a sex scandal and mishandling classified documents.
The only rational, plausible choice for SOS is Pat Buchanan, who has been a common-sense supporter of Trump from the get-go. Buchanan won’t betray the policies Trump has enunciated regarding international relations, Muslims, etc. because these are almost entirely the same policies Buchanan, himself, espouses and has ALWAYS espoused. For goodness sake, Trump, make a rational choice!!!
I agree that Romney is the worse that Trump could select. This guy is on an ego trip with no ending. I like the description that has been used describing him as an “egomaniac”. If Trump has his head on straight he will appoint
Gen. Petraeus as Secretary of State Do it without any hesitation, NOW!!! Another thought, Conway was correct and Trump should pay attention and listen to her. Too it would be disastrous to even imagine him in the top office. I don’t
believe there would be any loyalty to President-elect Trump. Further more Romney could be considered dangerous, I
would be very cautious and afraid of him if I were Trump.
.
More FAKE news from HORN…What else would you expect ?
Conway is absolutely correct. Appointment Romney would be a betrayal to the people who supported Trump and his tirades against the establishment.. You can’t get anymore establishment than Romney. He also lacks the guts and fortitude to be the tough negotiator that we must have, especially after Kerry and Clinton. After all it was Trump himself who said Romney just gave up and gave up against Obama. And with a sick wife, who we all heard about 4 years ago, how in the world is he going to do the traveling that is necessary. I pray that Trump is just trying to make nice and, even though it is a mistake, make a friend out of Mitt. He will soon discover that a snake is a snake – always will be – and they will turn on you when least expected. How in the world could he expect loyalty from this man?
Romney can be Chief White House toilet paper distributor. He’s a lock.
When he was running for President, Romney let the Hildabeast off the hook for Benghazi . Had he gone after her then, he could have won the presidency. Sad commentary for a possible Secretary of State.
Would have liked Gingrich as Sec. of State but apparently he’s not looking for any position in Trump’s cabinet.
Rummy should be not even be considered for this. Teach him a hard lesson you don’t talk like this. About trump like he did .he is a sore loser.plus hateful.you can’t have much respect for this hateful fool.
well i am glad to see a post where they indicate that, pence is pushing ……his friend?……romney…Sorry to say but that way they both can push their agenda of…………………….fill in the blanks. Trump needs to keep his eye on his so call friends, especially if they are/were/rinos, good old boys, traitors of the rep party. There still are some that are still trying to destroy Trump and maybe get him impeached some how…..so that the vp (one of the good old boys?) can take over and then it will business as it once was, and we do not want that……Trump listen to conway and one heck of a lot of us that put you in…….no crooked romney, period.
the lady is a genius,she has proved it over and over again,it wasn’t Romney facing the media when Trump was being torn to shreds,it was miss Conway and Rudy Giuliani,both of them so able in putting out the fires,they should be named firemen of the year!.both of them deserve a spot unquestionably.
The loyalty should be to the people who voted for him and not to someone who was not only disloyal but lied when he pledged to support whoever the nominee was. Trump and the RNC can get Romney to sign an oath of allegiance to Trump but what good would it be. He already did this and he LIED. Trump needs to show loyalty to Kellyanne Conway and the people who voted on him to clean up the Swamp and not become part of it.
Wonder why Donald Trump hasn’t added Newt Gingrich to the list of nominees for secretary of state. He would be my choice. Petraeus is a member of the Bilderberg Group which is not a friend of our country. I would never endorse his appointment.
Romney worked full time along with the RINOs to destroy Donald’s chance of becoming president. He is the last person I would want in my administration because what he did in the past he will do again. He is not to be trusted.
Dear President Elect,
If I can encourage you to choose, Petraeus or Rudi is my choice for Secretary of State,
however it your choice future president of United States.
Respectfully Yours,
Richard A. Owen
If President-elect Donald Trump doesn’t listen to his “people” He is doomed. One person cannot run a business or a country,
this large, without some really good advisers. They should have discussed this behind closed doors and if Ms. Conway felt
that she could not live with the decision, she should resign. She is doing the exact same thing that she is says Mitt Romney
would do if he was selected.
I was very disappointed in Romney when he publicly denounced Trump and called him names as well. I don’t think he’d be loyal to Trump and I’m not sure he has the disposition to be effective as Secretary of State. I now think Romney is for Romney, although I voted for him. There have to be better candidates…like Rudy, for example. I certainly hope there is a place for Rudy in the cabinet…..of all people, he has been the most loyal to Donald Trump from the get go. Loyalty is extremely important!!
Lets go back to 1964 when Goldwater was our nominee…I was acquainted with and working for Ty Gillespie, assistant to the president of Dow Chemical Company and Co Chair of Citizens for Goldwater Miller in the upper midwest. Romney’s father, George Romney was Governor of Michigan and a really vocal critic of Goldwater and refused to support Goldwater. Romney was one of the original RINO’S and was in my estimation a POS. Now his son wants to have us think he is a true Republican….all I can say is wake up people..the old addage “THE APPLE DOESN’T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE” applies here. Romney should get his nose out of the left wing blow hole and go back to being a citizen and stay out of any future political appointment or job.
How in Sam Hill did Trump wind up with Mitt (rhymes with Sh-T) Romney & Bob Corker who literally gave away Congress’ treaty power to Obama as his top Sec of State choices??
C’mon Trump!! Surely you can do better than these 2 losers!!
Sec of State is 1 of THE most important Cabinet positions. Don’t blow it!!
I think Kellyanne is taking the heat off of Trump so he does not get the backlash & all of the publicity,he has enough of that already. Now they say he can’t run his cos. & the White House
too without being biased in a lot of deals. She is his FALL GAL !
“THEY” should talk after Hillary Clinton! Need I say any more?
IMO, Mittens Robme is an a-hole with a capital “A,” an ingrate who begged Trump for campaign donations, then stabbed Trump in the back repeatedly when Trump ran for the office himself, leading the “never Trump” movement.
He should NEVER be SoS, or have any position w/in Trump’s administration higher than ambassador to some miniscule country like Luxembourg or the Vatican.
i understand the adage “Keep your friends close, your enemies closer,” but Robme would be either a snake or a weasel, if he had a backbone; he’s more like a jellyfish, molding himself into whatever environment in which he finds himself.
Perhaps Trump’s plan is to set him up to fail, which Robme richly deserves.
He should also stay the hell away from Guiliani, who orchestrated the removal and destruction of evidence of the largest crime scene in America, the destruction of the WTC and bldg. 7.
I WOULD BE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TRUMP IF HE PUT ROMNEY IN AS SOS-WOULD BE
‘EXTREMELY’ DISTURBING-WHAT HAPPENED TO “LOYALTY”-PETRAUS OR BOLTON AS SOS-
AND ABSOLUTELY RUDY FOR HOMELAND SECURITY
No,no not Romney!!!Conway is right…
THIS COMES FROM”according to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”, who cited anonymous sources within the transition team.?? i was an idiot. are you going to be an idiot too. DON’T BELIEVE THIS BS THIS GUY JOE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST LYING BS ARTIST…..
This rumor of Donald’s unhappiness may be more imagination than reality. Even if he was unhappy with the remarks he may have expressed that to her and both may have moved on.
I think the Conway remark raises a good point. Some of the same people who did absolutely nothing to help Donald win the election may be more than eager to get into his administration for their own benefit. I would think Mr. Trump would have a hard time sensing loyalty from these people after they were vocal in their feelings toward him prior to election night.
A Brilliant move from the base of Republican supporters of Mr. Trump President Elect to keep Self interested Mr. Romney at bay. He will not be Loyal to Mr. trump’s diplomatic policy of Make America Great Again. Gen Petraeus is a disciplined soldier and a true Patriot. Ultimately, Mr. Trump has final say, with his uncanny Intuition he shall nominate a person who shall bring image of USA on Global stage to new heights. JNTV
I agree with others that Mr. Romney is part of the establishment, lacks integrity, is part of the swamp and would not be a good choice for any position within this new administration!
The only recent, high-level military officers that are qualified for positions on the Trump team are the ones who were fired by the alias, B.H. Obama in 2015 & 2016, and a few others who retired prior to 2013.
They are the ones who stated they would not fire on Americans if Obama directs them to fire on Americans, and were thus fired by the alias, Barack H. Obama. All others who were not fired and who did not immediately retire, may be considered traitors to the American folk and the principles of the U.S. Constitution.
Kelleyanne Elizabeth Conway is in a better position to select a cabinet for Mr. Trump than himself, Mr. Donald Trump. She managed the successful election campaign, and similarly could better manage a cabinet selection that Mr. Trump.
This is not an insult to Donald Trump, rather a view of their experiences outside of the management of the Trump business endeavor. Mrs. Conway is not in a position to manage the Trump business, but is in a position to better manage the selection of a Trump cabinet than is Mr. Trump – and his family members.
I’m all for Trump. I used to manage a very large organization and I think an important point to consider, is how well will the candidate get along with my other co-equal staff and others. I would not hire Romney because so many people that work for Trump seems to hate the guy; thus making obvious infighting and impediments to getting real work done. Also, I wouldn’t trust Romney to carry forward Trump’s agenda. He will have his own
In this particular situation, it may not be a case of disloyalty by Mrs. Conway. It might be a case of Mr. Trump calling the shots, without adequately viewing the target, for which Mrs. Conway possesses a more accurate sighting mechanism than does Mr. Trump. The person who carried through a successful campaign for Mr. Trump will not be disloyal, but rather will use all mechanisms at her disposal to prevent him from making a grievous error in cabinet-member selection.
No truth in this story. Trump has said Ms. Conway is free to express her opinion. He likes and wants his advisors to have a mind of their own and feel free to express their thoughts. Morning Joe had it all wrong! Just saying.
Just saying who would believe anything that came from msnbc ‘s morning Joe.
Romney is nothing more than a big asshole and Guiliani isn’t any better. Word is that he tried to hide evidence of the conspiracy of 9/11. I think that Kellyanne Conway would make a great Secretary of State, she seems to have more on the ball than any of the other shitheads that Trump has lined up. If anybody would have made the statements that romney made against me, they would wind up pushing up daisies.
Donald Trump picked Mitt Romney for a reason to be secretary of state, he knows his onions, he knows how to deal with people ,and get things done, he is a smart person, If you were in his place, you would want to prove, that you can handle the job. Give the man a chance to prove himself, We all make errors in our life time, apparently we can develop a new person, to perform for Donald Trump, that would be the Christian way.
It’s what the mainstream media would like us to believe in reality it’s a lie they created for their own self serving purposes.
uh Why believe anything the media says? They have long lost any credibility they once had.
Trump came in as a business man who was decisive and unlikely to dither as the political establishment invariably do – therefore the more he delays indecisively in choosing his team the more he is eroding that image.
Let me think….hmmmm NOPE, I DO NOT TRUST Mitt Romney, not after what he did and said to Mr Trump during the debates. To Mr. Tump I say this, you are not God, you are not perfect and you are not infallible, please listen to your people, be wise and heed the counsel of your cabinet, Ms.Kellyanne Conway is a wise woman. AVOID ROMNEY LIKE THE PLAGUE!
ROMNEY WAS OK UNTIL HE ATTACKED TRUMP DURING THE CAMPAIGN. NOW ROMNEY CAN F HIMSELF.
Trump picks good people.
What is the matter with Donald Trump??? I have supported him right from the beginning. However, that he would even consider two things: Mitt Romney as Secretary of State & simply letting Hillory Clinton off scot free; with time to heal. Give the country a break. Give her a dose of what she has coming & let her pay for the knowing/could care less harm she has imposed on our country. She can rest well on a cot in the prison; where she obviously belongs. It would be so great if this country could start to look ahead; instead of behind by letting the deceitful off the hook so the politicians can waste their time on lamenting the bad luck of their getting caught. Trump talks out of both sides of his mouth & it’s time he stops doing it. Now he wants to imprison the flag burners. How long will that last? What next? Time for some follow through on what he campaigned he would do. Why does Trump want to alienate his backers? He is starting to prove politics stink. Stand up for the tough love he preached he would dish out.
I so agree, I don’t understand what he is doing he is acting like a politician, say whatever to get elected, and then do nothing you say you’ll do. I think he’s listening to the wrong people.
Thank You Donald Trump, for staying mostly away from POLITICIANS who seldom can ever be totally trusted. Romney is a POLITICIAN and will run against you next term. Need we say more…………
I’m very concerned that Trump has taken a leftie turn. He seems to be doing what all other politicians have done. This upsets me because we elected him because he wasn’t a politician or at least that’s what he lead us to believe, now I’m wondering. Kellyann Conway got him elected where is his loyalty to her, Romney went way overboard to slam Trump and yet he’s being considered for Secretary of State, where is his loyalty. Something is very wrong with all this and you know I’m right, I think you feel it also. He is also not doing or going to do what he promised in his campaign. I thought America/Americans first. Personally I am very disappointed in Trump by his actions or lack there of. He needs to be a man of his words.
If i were Trump i would not pick Romney …. Maybe he is just throwing some salt in the wounds of romney losing his bid and trying to disgrace Trump during his rein for the white house……Trump knows what he is doing i just hope he makes the correct choice for the powerful position…
The people of America should not have to pay the price of salt being thrown on Romney’s self-inflicted wounds.
We’ve had enough of a Secretary of State who got the position for reasons other than her qualifications; we cannot suffer another one!
Start off right choose Petraeus, give a man in the trenches, a go at it. Drain all the swamp.
While I agree with Miss Conway to a point, Mr. Trump always has a reason for what he does, how he says it and what people under him he puts in what position. I think we must trust in Trump’s decision, but with using a baseball analogy for a pitcher.
Lets keep Romney on a short leash.
We need a Secretary of State who can do the job properly, without having to be on a “short leash.”
Trump will be making a mistake if he goes against the people of America (who don’t like Romney, and don’t want him in a position of power) – especially after making such an issue of how he cares about what we want.
Romney is WEAK he could not standup for himself when he tried to run for president , what makes anyone think he could stand up to foreign powers ???
We need a person like President – elect Trump, strong convictions, never back down, loves America, puts AMERICA FIRST above all else !!!
If Trump cares about “the People” as much as he claims, he’d best not put that untrustworthy Mitt Romney in any position, much less Secretary of State!
What can Trump be thinking – can he possibly not realize that the people of America don’t WANT Romney?
Beware of “Mitts” bearing gifts, it may kick you in the Ass…..Your campaign divided the mice from the men…Don’t question yourself now.
A believer in you…..
Kellyanne should not go public, but convince Trump in private.
BUT I think she is right!
“Drain the swamp was your campaign promise….Romney is part of the swamp”
AND
He will be your rival – and he is to slick. to little knuckles.

Romney has shown his true colors in the campaign he ran and then again during the campaign that Trump ran. Why would Trump want to consider him for anything after those performances. Begging for trouble I say. And he comes off as milk toast. We don’t need another wimp representing us in the world theater. We need some brains and cajones!
Conway is all about herself and is getting all the publicity she can out of her position. Trump should fire her.
Bolton is the right one.
Is this a slow news day? this was reported over a week ago.
This may be off the subject but I have heard great concern about the poor shape of the American electrical grid through Ted Koppel’s book a while back entitled Lights Outs; Black Out Wars by Wm Graham the Chair of the EMP Commission and James Woosley the Director of CIA and Chair of Foundation for Defense; a man named Vincent Pry (high up in the know) and Newt Gingrich. It was reported that our enemies might take opportunity to send an EMP bomb to destroy our electrical grid and during the change over of the President and shortly after would be an opportune time to do so. Possibly North Korea since they are circling the U.S. twice a day at the correct altitude to fire and EMP bomb. Or even the sun could give off a solar flare with the same result and one is long overdue according to scientists. The results would be catastrophic and would fry everything electrical sending us back to the functioning of 1800s! In the mentioning of immediately doing something about the state of the infrastructure, are there plans to spend approximately 2 billion to protect America as the FIRST task of rebuilding. If we do not get this done immediately, all else will be in vain. Any kind of progress of change, travel, communication, survival will come to a standstill!There will be no water pumping, no motors running, no communication systems, no food as trucks and cars will not run, i.e, NOTHING WILL WORK! Making America Great Again will be hopeless and downright impossible! Is ANYONE talking to Trump and Congress about this critical imperative to protect American citizens? Is Trump going to make this the FIRST PRIORITY in the budgeting process??
