Is he eating a plateful of shit in the pursuit of power or falling on his sword to save the Republic?

He is an sleaze bag.

Romney was ridiculed by Obama in 2012 when he called Russia our "#1 geopolitical foe."

And he was ridiculed here as well.

Russia is not our "#1 geopolitical foe."  That's China.  Russia is our "#1 geopolitical pain in the ass."

The Russians have literally managed to place a Manchurian candidate in the White House!

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

That's Flynn.  I'm a bit surprised Flynn can even get a security clearance, and now he's going to be National Security Adviser!  At least the Russians won't hack his email.

I tend to think the meeting with Romney was to help heal wounds in the party. I don't see him as Secretray of State though that's apparently the rumor that he was there for. I think he could also be brought into the admin for some other position as advisor in  economic or budget matters. Romney did make some very nasty statements about Trump during the campaign and while the never Trumpers liked it, he probably pissed off many more in the party who saw him as helping the democrats to win as some of those comments were made as Trump was winning the primaries, or maybe even after he had won them.

I also recall that Romney did actively push against Trump even during the Presidential campaign, and went so far as to help fund an alternate candidate in Utah along with a small cabal of hysterical anti-Trumpers in the republican party. So he brought a lot of animosity on himself within republican voters and party members. If he gets some place in the admin then that'll certainly rankle many voters, but as I said before, I think this move by Trump and Romney is at least a way to heal the rift. Also, as Trump looks to make changes to the ACA then Romney might be someone who could contribute to changes in the health care law, since the ACA was patterned a bit off of the plan he put in place in Massachusetts as Governor.

A smug sense of superiority. He gets to cut in front of the line of all the liberals too, making it even better.
