So, Trump wants to meet Abe (if he can find the time). Isn't it traditional for new presidents to meet with the Canadian PM before any other leaders?

Traditionally, the newly elected President goes to Ottawa for his first foreign trip.

Good time as any to break that one.

W's first trip was to Mexico, so it's already been broken (though Obama did come here first).

Things I learned from the news media today:

Trump likes his steak well done, the right proper way.

No, that the WRONG answer. Everyone knows that authoritarian like their steak rare, preferably raw:

Well that's interesting. Not much international experience beyond evangelizing, but so much better than the other names floated.

I guess theo only thing Romney could be thinking is that he prevents someone crazy from taking the position?

I wasn't getting into why Trump might appoint him but rather why he'd want to tie himself to a turd.

I would want to increase my chances of being overseas in the event we go DonCon 1 as well.

Yeah, it's a doomed prospect.  I'd be shocked if he lasted six months in a Trump white house, but I can understand his thinking.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.
