Should Trump select Romney for SOS, it would demonstrate character that many of us may not possess. The things said by Romney to derail Trump were blistering and though theyare forgiveable, not easily forgotten. How could Trump ever trust Romney, and his loyalty?
What would you do, if you were in his place?
Also, is Rudy experienced enough to be the SOS? He was one of the most loyal supporters throughput the campaign, and when the "sex-gate" tape was released, Rudy was the first to stand publically and support Trump, regardless of the smear job! That is the type of man I'd want in that office if it were my choice to make. So, what are your feelings about this hot topic issue?

I believe I know why Trump wants to pick Romney.
Because he is looking forward in time to the 2020 election.
With Romney at his side he would then be able to landslide a victory because he could have Romney round up all the neo-cons and RINOs to support him (Trump) seeing that he (Romney) is simultaneously both a RINO and a neo-con.
So Romney is a very shrewd choice.

Just based on what I've seen of the two in the past, I'd pick Rudy in a heartbeat; primarily because I would have a real hard time ginning up any trust of Romney!

Then you have him playing the apolitical hero. Except he fell into a honey pot set up by his own liberal friends. Lol. It's disgraceful enough for him to cheat on his wife, but with a married subordinate? Tawdry. -

I don't know, Trump would have to have a train wreck of a first term before the RNC would run another candidate.

What really irritates me is that first, he claims to speak for veterans. He doesn't speak for me! Secondly, he claims to be protecting people's constitutional rights. What part of "shall not be infringed" is he too stupid to understand? -
Should Trump pick Romney or Rudy?
Not sure why one would think it is limited in any way to these choices.
I think Rudy could have the job if he wanted it but I don't think he does and from a practical viewpoint think the job is a little much for someone of his age. I suppose he could work it out but don't see it happening.
I don't think Trump would give the job to someone who has proved how disloyal he can be, so not Romney either. I certainly don't believe Trump would think he needs Romney for a future election anymore than he thought he needed him for this one.
Beyond those two, I would think General Petraeus carries too much baggage and personality conflicts that would make it hard to count on his loyalty. Enough generals already as far as i:m concerned...
I know Ben Carson seems to have some interest in HUD but suspect the SOS position is still in consideration for him.
Its probably more likely that the Media hasn't guessed on who Trump is actually leaning toward and it will be somewhat of a surprise. -
Remember how the "locker room talk" set Trump back?

The only substantial thing Donald Trump has going for him is that he is a Washington outsider. That is what got him elected. It would be a terrible error to surround himself with Political insiders such as Romney, Giuliani, or Patraius.
As for Ben Carson, he may be a smart man but he has no executive experience, and a huge negative is his 7th Day Adventism. Non-Christians will not want him because of his faith, and Christians will not want him because his cult teaches that all of us who worship on Sunday will be executed at the return of Christ.
Better keep looking.
