Conway joins attacks on Romney

[RandySF]

It has been a tough couple of days for Mitt Romney.

After the former Massachusetts governor and 2012 GOP nominee met with President-elect Donald Trump, it was rumored — and then stated explicitly by Vice President-elect Mike Pence — that Romney was being considered for Secretary of State.

And it’s been all downhill from there, as Trump supporters and surrogates have piled on, slamming Romney for his attacks on Trump during the GOP primary and his refusal to endorse Trump.

Now Kellyanne Conway, a senior transition adviser and Trump’s campaign manager, has joined the fray.

“Receiving deluge of social media & private comms re: Romney Some Trump loyalists warn against Romney as sec of state,” Conway posted on Twitter Thursday, linking to a POLITICO article about the attacks on Romney.

“Kissinger & Schultz [sic] as Secs of State flew around the world less, counseled POTUS close to home more. And were loyal. Good checklist,” she added later, referring to former secretaries of state Henry Kissinger and George Shultz.

3. They clowned Romney. I bet that was part of the plan.

[LeftishBrit]

4. Never was a Romney fan as my 2012 posts will confirm; but god would I prefer him to most of the

other people around the Unspeakable!

[Ilsa]

6. Me too. I wish he was prez instead of the cheeto-faced

Asshole. I'd sleep better at night with someone with slightly better morals than a sewer rat at the helm.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. I would never question Romney's morals, just his judgement.

He should never went to see Trump in the first place.

[Ilsa]

8. My issue with his morals include his attitudes about

the 47%, people who lost their jobs because of his LBOs, etc. I don't question his religious values or relationship/family values. I believe he understands and appreciates loyalty, fidelity. I could be politely respectful towards him if I met him in person. No way I would shake trump's nasty little hand.

5. Like I said, the Trumpistas don't really care about government.

A stay-at-home Secretary of State; Trump not receiving intelligence briefings
very often.

All he cares about is turning the presidency into his own personal business.

9. Or raiding the treasury any way he can.

[Cosmocat]

15. Yep, and team R will be just fine with it

Because,

1 - it will provide cover for them to do the crazy ass shit they will do.

2 - he will play ball and sign off on the shit they want to do

3 - this is how they see government anyways.

[JI7]

10. This is just unprofessional and rude

Can you see an advisor to Obama going on twitter and making comments like this over someone that has met with him and was said to be under consideration for a job ?

But then again this whole thing is bring treated like a reality show.

[kentuck]

11. It's a united front...

after Romney has informed them that he does not want the job. Time to crucify him.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. Romney probably told him it was unwise and dangerous to kowtow to Putin.

[eleny]

13. I hope that Romney spills that bean

[Cosmocat]

14. Its pretty fucked up, isnt it?

But it is at the very least how the executive branch will operate for the next 4 years.
