Trump team weighs options between Romney, Giuliani

Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives and one of the 2012 Republican presidential candidates who has been a staunch Trump supporter, expressed skepticism that Romney would represent “the kind of tough-minded, America-first policies that Trump has campaigned on”.

Mr. Romney, during his unsuccessful 2012 campaign for president, wisely noted that Russian Federation was a growing threat not just to the United States but to global peace.

Conway said she had received a “deluge” of concern from people who questioned the loyalty of Romney, a former MA governor who assailed Trump as a “phony” during the presidential campaign. While the rest of the Republican party was content to ride along on the Trump train, Romney continually railed against the nominee during the election, even holding a press conference to share his disdain and disbelief. Fox News cited a senior Trump aide as suggesting that Romney make a public apology for his campaign remarks.

Gingrich favored other choices for the secretary of state position, including former Arizona Sen.

She linked to a Politico article, with the headline “Some Trump loyalists warn against Romney as secretary of state”. “And were loyal. Good checklist”, she said.

Bolton, along with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, have been mentioned as potential successors to outgoing Secretary of State John Kerry. It is unclear when a selection will be announced. “That’s insult to Trump voters”, Huckabee tweeted after Trump’s meeting with Romney last weekend. In a follow-up tweet, Conway appeared to take another shot a Romney by praising past Secretary of States for staying in Washington D.C. more often.

Mitt Romney was one of President-elect Donald Trump’s harshest critics throughout the election, but Trump is apparently willing to forgive and forget as he considers Romney for Secretary of State. An audio was released yesterday by the New York Times, where Trump can be heard explaining this hesitance.

Romney criticized Trump numerous times during the Republican primary, going so far as delivering an entire speech back in March about why he doesn’t think the GOP should nominate the billionaire real estate investor.

Trump also really doesn’t deny climate change.

“I understand why people say, ‘Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, ‘ but you don’t want to give them a gun to shoot you with, politically speaking”, Mr. King said. Thank Trump for being magnanimous in meeting with him, wish him well, call on all Americans to unite behind him, and bow out. He hinted when talking with reporters at Trump Tower on Monday that he favors Giuliani over Romney for the position. After all Trump not only bragged about sexually assaulting women in the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape, he mocked Carly Fiorina’s face and, worse, he publicly shamed the 11 women who accused him of sexual misconduct by calling them all liars.
