If they're stupid, sure.

Mitt would be a great pick as SecState and provide a good counterbalance deal to Trump, provide constructive criticism behind scenes when its warranted and is a qualified leader.

He's a natural diplomat and Trump needs experience everywhere in his cabinet to counter his rookie status.

Romney went to Graduate School with Benjamin Netanyho (sp). It's a strong indication that Yrump intends to change the dynamics of the ME a lot.

It is a great idea. The SecState still serves at the pleasure of the president and has to carry out the president's agenda. Romney knows that. But, Trump will have someone seasoned to rely on and listen to. At the end of the day, Trump is in charge, but he doesn't have a sycophant who just says yes to whatever Trump thinks up. He has a check and balance who will still execute Trump's strategy at the end of the day.

Sounds like a brilliant move by Trump and might be why he will make a great Commander in Chief. I hope he does this on other issues where he lacks experience.

Romney is a patriot. Anyone saying otherwise is deluded.

Meh, Sore Losers like you keep trying different ways to get Trump supporters to regret that they voted for Trump.

Ain't gonna happen, dude!

Not my first choice but Trump obviously wants someone that knows something about negotiating. Romney is a very successful negotiator from the business world.

I'm willing to give him a shot if Trump is.

One thing is an incontrovertible FACT. Harambe would be better than the last two blithering idiots.

I'd prefer Webb as SoS

Mattis as SoD.

I'd be thrilled to see he wasn't completely surrounding himself with Yes Men, like the current moron.

You do understand that the cabinet members have to push the president's agenda. Sure he will give them time to give their opinion on all issues but if they don't push Trumps agenda, they will be back out on the street.

I have zero and I do mean zero problem with Romney.

Could do worse. I wouldn't be thrilled because I think he's a scheister and is a snake in the grass.


Maybe you just keep sending him to hotspots and hope one of the terror groups makes a move.

Smart move by Trump, Romney can do the job, but equally as important Romney will be part of the team, and not on TV every other night for the next four years critiquing every thing Trump does. This also minimizes the chance that Romney will try to challenge Trump for the nomination in 2020.
