| Hell Just Froze Over - Romney For Sec Of State? |
| 2016-11-17 |
| Please tell me this is just a rumor - Mitt spent half the campaign trashing Trump, and this is how he gets repaid? It's gotta be bullshit, like half / most of the other stories we've seen this week about the transition and Trump's steak dinner. Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will meet with Donald Trump this weekend to discuss the secretary of state position, a source close to the president-elect with direct knowledge of his thinking told NBC News. In March, the former Massachusetts governor called Trump "a phony" and "a fraud" when discussing the then-candidate. Trump has called Romney a loser and has said he "choked like a dog" during his 2012 presidential campaign against President Barack Obama. Trump endorsed Romney during his presidential bid four years ago. This story is developing. Please check back for further updates. I'm looking for the retraction, myself... |

| #11 I see this as Trump acting presidential and magnanimous. Romney seems a decent guy and competent administrator. Sure, we'd all like Attila the Hun, but the fact that Romney's name is in the mix makes Trump look normal and makes protests against him look even sillier. As for Cynthia McKinney, I'd float a rumor about considering her for Sec. of Education. |

| #10 The thing is, whatever Mr. Romney sets himself to do, he will do no less than his very best. That said, I vote for baseless speculation or trolling. |

| #7 Trump is having fun. The media is tying themselves up in knots. Their arrogance is astounding. The furor because Trump wanted to go out for dinner and didn't care for them hanging around... |

| #6 Great, just as funny/stupid as Lurch but without the Ketchup and late boat tax jokes. Funny you mentioned that - four years ago, I was at a tax seminar when Mass. Dept. of Revenue guys showed up to talk about state tax issues. Before they started, they took questions, so I dropped this one on them: "Did John Kerry pay sales tax on his yacht yet?" DOR hack - 'Uh, we can't comment on individual tax matters'. It was fun to watch him squirm for a few seconds. |
