Will Romney Stick By His Beliefs That Trump Is A Con-Man And....

refuse any position in the Trump Administration or will he give in to his ego and take a position in the Trump Administration?

I guess we'll get to see what kind of man Romney is here.

Romney will be, as Trump stated during the Republican primary debates, ON HIS KNEES, in Trump Tower begging for a job along with Trump's servile puppy dog, Ted Cruz.

He will come out of the meeting saying that he's forgiven Trump, yada, yada, yada...

Romney will try to appear noble - i.e., that he's taking the position for the good of the country dontcha know. But he'll be groveling for a place in the administration to maintain his relevance.

Romney is wealthy beyond belief. He can sit this out and watch from the sidelines. What could make Romney give in to Trump?

Blackmail perhaps?

It will be interesting to see what kind of man Romney is. Does he have the courage of his convictions? Or will his ego get in the way?

telling Trump to fuck off.

Tough to tell, though. He might see a job like Treasury as one way to fight Trump from the inside.

What if Romney knows the Trump Administration is going to be a complete and utter failure.

But he also knows Trump won, Trump will not step down, No one is riding in on a horse and saving the country from Trump. Trump will be president and there is no way around it

Maybe Romney feel if he's SOS at least that is one area the Administration will not fail. Because if the SOS fails we start WARS

It is all about limiting damage now, Trump is not going to offer any job that matters to any democrat. Mitt could be the best we can hope for as SOS, name ONE person Trump would consider that you would like or support? Like I said, Mitt could be the best we can hope for as SOS. Look who he just picked for AG, Jeff "I'm a racist FUCK" Sessions
