Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s senior adviser, said on Thursday she was on the receiving end of a “deluge of social media & private comms” about the Romney option, noting being “loyal” was a positive attribute for the job.

Two days after outlining his plans for the first 100 days of his presidency, Donald Trump released another video message on Wednesday and called for national unity on this Thanksgiving holiday.

“They’ll be looking for things like chemistry, experience, a similar vision into what the president-elect and vice president elect are trying to do with this administration”, Miller said.
