(They still have not been released.) And Romney once suggested Trump was employing “trickle-down racism”.

The former MA governor also said Mr Trump’s promises were “as worthless as a degree from Trump University”.

Romney described his meeting with Trump last Saturday in Bedminister, New Jersey, as “very thorough and in-depth discussion in the time we had”, he told reporters. During the primary convention, he has called on voters to choose any other Republican in their state. Trump is also reportedly considering former Gen. John Kelly, the former head of the United States’ Southern Command.

Top advisers to President-elect Donald Trump escalated their attacks on Mitt Romney on Sunday, catapulting their long-simmering frustrations onto cable news in an extraordinary public airing of grievances.

Gov. Charlie Baker said Wednesday that former Gov. Mitt Romney is “a very worthwhile and worthy candidate” for USA secretary of state.

“It’s just breathtaking in scope and intensity the type of messages I have received from all over the country”, Conway said. “People feel betrayed … that you can get a Romney back in there after everything he did”. I respect the brilliance and judgment and sheer instincts of president-elect Trump to form his Cabinet as he wishes.

However, Conway went out of her way to point out that Trump had won states that Republicans – including Romney in 2012 – had not won in years, such as Iowa and Pennsylvania.

At the heart of the battle are two men, one a steadfast loyalist who stuck it out with Trump as he negotiated his worst lows and blowouts that threatened to imperil his campaign.

“I think that there was the “Never Trump” movement and then there was Gov. Mitt Romney”.

Supporters of Romney as the choice, including Vice President-elect Mike Pence and Trump chief of staff Reince Priebus, see him as having a calming effect on USA allies, showing Trump can be pragmatic.

Her comments on CNN on Sunday follow tweets last week on the “deluge” of warnings she received from Trump loyalists anxious at the prospect of Romney taking a prominent Cabinet position.

Trump has interviewed Romney for the job.

The move signaled deepening dissatisfaction, however, and may presage an ongoing conflict between the insurgent populists who got behind Trump early, and the conservative establishment that largely opposed him until his election.

“It’s not about that I don’t care for Mitt personally”.
