Kellyanne: NO to Romney
Kellyanne Conway (one of the most capable in Trump's team) went public with the opposition to Romney as Secretary of State.
She said the grassroots are totally opposed.

I think bragging (and openly criticizing) about getting rid of a competent candidate for the State Department bodes very badly for the America and the Trump administration.

Just one of a long list of things about a Trump administration that bode ill for the country.

This was about throwing a bone to the establishment, then humiliating Romney for speaking earlier against Trump, and appeasing the base by said humiliation. A three-for, as it were. Conway and Gingrich didn't leave the reservation. They're willing stooges for Trump/Bannon. He's turned the whole transition into a reality TV and has referred to cabinet candidates as "finalists."

I suspect his cabinet and staff are going to be pretty fluid. I suspect that if you are not a yes man, you're fired. Even if you are and he gets a burr up his, you are fired. I have had a few bosses like this, he reminds me very much of them.

I hope Romney brought his kneepads when he went to kiss the ring.

Hey Finnbow, every time I read your signature line, I think
"A whole lot of fertilizer on top will kill the garden too."
There is an awful lot of fertilizer around here lately.

I don't see why Romney would want this high profile job, considering how volatile Trump can be, not to mention a multitude of conflict of interests from Trump's business relationships.

That's what I am counting on.
I sure don't want any establishment Republicans running the show.
