Fox News is reporting that Donald Trump’s transition team wants Mitt Romney to publicly apologize for railing against the president-elect during the campaign.

A transition official told Fox’s Ed Henry that some in Trump’s inner circle want the former Massachusetts governor to apologize in order to be seriously considered for the secretary of State. Trump is reportedly considering whether to pick Romney or former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani for the coveted cabinet position.

Giuliani is the preferred choice of Trump’s loyalists and grassroots supporters, while Romney is a favorite of establishment conservatives.

“It’s not about that I don’t care for Mitt personally, but I’m still very unhappy that Mitt did everything he could to derail Donald Trump,” said Trump supporter Mike Huckabee in a Fox interview on Wednesday.

“There’s only one way that I think Mitt Romney could even be considered for a post like that and that is he goes to a microphone in a very public place and repudiates everything he said in that famous Salt Lake City speech, and everything he said after that,” Huckabee said, referring to a famous anti-Trump speech Romney gave in March.

1. "Assume the position. Now." - Comrade Casino (R) & Russian-Republican Thugees

2. Isn't an apology implied by Mitt allowing himself to be vetted by Trump?

That has to be humbling by itself.


OTOH if Romney is formally asked to publicly or privately apologize to Trump, he should go on record, telling Trump to shove it up his ass.

3. And after Romney apologizes, I very much doubt Trump will give him the cabinet position.

[Ilsa]

4. I hope Mittens grows a spine and tells

The Con and his cronies he won't go on national media and lie.

They are probably dressing up Guiliani for the job right now.

5. BS

They didn't make Nikki Haley apologize, why it is necessary for Mittens. This is just another move to get the drumpf crazies and no nothings in charge of key positions. Mittens should have some integrity and just say no. Yes, I think he'd be better for the country than Guiliani, but with drumpf in charge, no good will come from that position because his top priority is making nice with russia so he can personally reap billions from the removal of the sanctions. Who know what else Putin has promised his pet if he sabotages NATO, all bank loans forgiven?

10. Haley was picked so the trump supporting lt gov can become gov

6. After Mitt apologizes, he'll probably be shown the same respect that Trump showed to Christie. - n/t

8. This is a nightmare and we'll all wake up, right? How is it possible that in any sane world...

we would see the spectacle of Romney being forced to get on his knees before Trump just so a deranged Ghouliani doesn't become SoS?

9. fuck them.
