Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is under active consideration to be secretary of state in the Trump administration, Vice President-Elect Mike Pence said Sunday, a day after Mr. Romney met with President-elect Donald Trump.

They had a good meeting, it was a warm and a substantive exchange and I know he is under active consideration to be the secretary of state of the United States along with some other very distinguished Americans, Mr. Pence said on Fox News Sunday.

Mr. Trump and Mr. Romney, adversaries through the campaign, met Saturday in an effort to reconcile.

Mr. Romney, the Republican Partys presidential nominee in 2012, was a vocal critic of Mr. Trump during this years campaign, calling him a con man and a fraud.

1. you CANNOT have a "warm exchange" with a narcissist

it is ALWAYS an act

2. So much for Romney's so-called principles

After all his pontificating about how horrible Trump is (and he was correct), he's now sucking up to the fraud and con man.

6. I heard someone make a good point about people working with Trump

We should probably keep in mind that we want somewhat decent people working in the Trump admin in the end, and we should keep that in mind while criticizing people who go to work for the Trump administration. Whether or not Romney is a decent person in the grand scheme of things is debatable, but relative to what it could be he is tolerable. But I think this mindset should be applied to any democrats who may somehow end up being looked at.

Although on the other hand, I can see it from the "normalizing the clown" perspective.

7. If you're Romney, do you leave the country to the horrible people...

...or do you step into the pending disaster and try to insert a dose of sanity?

I'm not sure what his motives are, but perhaps he thinks he can help steer us in a more normal direction.

Who knows, but I'd much rather have Romney than Gingrich.

8. Romney is only in it for his own self-interest

He's had positions he had when he ran for governor, changed them for the Republican primary, changed them back for the general elections.

He is notable for lacking convictions. He's showing his lack of them for a man who said "I could have told Mitt Romney to drop to his knees".
