That’s the great thing about the Republican Party…They continuously make you nostalgic for the Republican Party of a few years ago! (Boy, what I wouldn’t give for someone who is just an incompetent boob like George W now!)
I wonder how many would have lost their job had the company gone under?
You gotta admit when it comes to dodging tossed shoes, nobody could beat Ol’ Dubya! The man was in a league of his own.
Well, that’s a reassuring standard for US Cabinet secretaries…
I wonder if the drapes match the curtain…?
The idea of Giuliani or Bolton in a high cabinet post gives one shivers. Now I hear Senator Sessions is tapped for Attorney General — this is a man who has engaged in extremely blatant and reprehensible racism.
Any bets on whether the GOP will adopt the “nuclear option” to ensure that these delightful cupcakes get seated in the Cabinet, and thereby avoid embarrassing the Sociopath-in-Chief?
The word “standards” takes on a whole 'nother meaning in a Trump administration from a Dem perspective. Romney is roughly equivalent to Sec. Clinton in terms of ability- they both were the best choices to run against Obama for the top job, no?
We should all be grateful if Romney gets tapped as Secretary of State. He’s competent, even if he is on “the other side” and will participate in the GOP shit show we are all about to take part in. Competence = Mercy in this administration. Don’t underappreciate it, IMHO.
Harry Reid already adopted the nuclear option for everything but Supreme Court justices.
The purpose was to humiliate Romney.
Even if Mitt Romney becomes Secretary of State, I predict he’ll be at least as shut out of decision-making as Gen. Colin Powell was under the Cheney/Dubya administration. I’m afraid that if Bolton becomes Secretary of State we’ll be at war before Memorial Day 2017.
Sad, but true.
We’ve literally sunk to the point of tacitly accepting someone just on the basis that they are not evil or openly hateful.
He could look to Kellyanne Conway for for mentoring about dealing with Trump’s mercurial behavior.

Apparently yesterday’s meeting went well.
I’m wasn’t a Romney supporter in 2012. But he’s the best choice we can get for Secretary of State. Trump could pick someone far more controversial.
On a personal level…
I guess Mitt’s wife, Ann is doing ok? I can’t imagine him accepting secretary of state if she’s really sick. Secretary of State is a demanding job. John Kerry has been going non stop. Even a broken leg didn’t slow him down.
Ann did a few interviews a year ago promoting her newest book.

It’s perfectly logical to think Romney’s thought process is along the lines of “If I can get myself between Trump and the diplomats and heads of state of other countries, maybe I can stop this idiot from starting World War III.”
Romney is a decent human being and has demonstrated competence in both public and private endeavors. One could do much worse. In a Trump cabinet meeting he might end up being the only respectable person in the room.
He hasn’t even had a career in porn. Has he?
Mormon porn. The horror, the horror.
Come on, I seem to remember Obama saying some rather unpleasant things about Hillary in 2008 and vice versa. It’s simply politics.
Paul in Spin City was a fan of Amish Porn.
You are talking about Obama and Hillary when they were running against each other, Romney was insulting Trump just because he found him despicable.
Well, I just lost the small smidgen of respect I had for Romney, as it turns out, Trump’s “dropped to his knees” comment was actually true. Romney’s not going to be the voice of reason. He’s never going to tell Trump “no.”
