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

He's eyeing the yuge profits available for the Trump administration. He'll set up a blind trust that's run by his dog.

Look at his track record. ran as a prochoice candidate for governor as massachusetts that rejected reagan and bush for their conservatism, but then ran for president in the republican primary as a prolife severe conservative with binders of women.

I don't think he will be the Secretary of State. Trump wants to reconcile but doesn't trust hum enough.

What does this have to do with being Sec of State?

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.
Title: Re: The Mitt Romney 2016 Poll

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.

The Russians are aggressive champions of the ideology that is about to do some devastating and lasting damage to our country.  Romney was right in 2012, and I sure hope he didn't change his mind since then.  We're losing battles in a war that many still have no idea we're fighting.

It's a ravanchist myopic oligarchy run by crime syndicates.  It will not be having the same economic, geopolitical and nation security impact on the United States in the next 50-75 years as China will.  I know you want to take pride in your tribe, but the 21st century will not be a Russian one.
