Top Trump aide bashes Romney

Her comments left Trump furious, according to a political insider, and he and other top aides for the Trump transition team are anxious that Conway is trying to go rogue and push her own agenda onto the American public, according to CNBC.

At ground zero of that warfare is campaign manager and senior advisor, Kellyanne Conway.

Advocates for former GOP presidential nominee Romney, who has worldwide renown from his time running the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Games, say his selection would send a signal of reassurance to the country and show flexibility in Trump’s choices for his administration.

Other Trump allies have also spoken up to try to dissuade the president elect from appointing one of his strongest critics to the State Department.

“I can’t discuss that publicly”, she said.

Giuliani is said to be frustrated by the way the process has unfolded, having originally been led to believe he would have his pick of jobs, according to those close to the transition.

“But if President-elect Trump does, I will certainly support that decision”.

Romney made a blistering speech about the then-candidate in March, calling Trump’s policies “flimsy”, his business acumen nonexistent and charging that “dishonesty” was the hallmark of his campaign. Referring to the new president-elect as a “fraud”, Romney accused Trump of using his multiple bankruptcies to hurt small business owners and their workers, while stating, “A business genius he is not”. She criticized the possibility of Romney being considered for Secretary of State due to his bashing and condemnation of Trump along the campaign trail.

During a phone interview on Fox News Sunday, Gingrich noted that whatever Romney says makes him sound “phony” and “frankly, pathetic”. But Romney’s got a powerful voice in on his side. Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, is also scheduled to meet that day with Trump. However, he acknowledged that picking Romney would represent “a team of rivals concept”. Very good conversation and we’ll see where it goes from here. “I’ve called him a loser for the last six months, even though I supported him”, he added.

“He attacked (Trump) on a personal level about his character, integrity, his honor”, Huckabee said, adding that choosing the former MA governor for secretary of state “would be a real insult to those Donald Trump voters who worked really hard”.

“I’m still very unhappy that Mitt did everything he could to derail Donald Trump”, Huckabee said Wednesday.
