Sure Seems Like Romney Got Punked into Kissing Donald Trump's Ring

Since news broke Saturday that President-elect Donald Trump is likely to appoint Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State, political observers and commentators have fallen into two camps.

The first camp consists of those who are shocked that after considering the whole dog and pony show that surrounded him for weeks, Mitt Romney won’t get the nod. The second camp is comprised of people who are shocked that there are people who are shocked Romney won’t be Secretary of State.

The second camp is the more reasonable camp. The second camp is the one that will weather Trump’s presidency best because it is full of people who are already able to differentiate between manipulative spectacle and sincerity.

What Trump did to Romney was the equivalent of rubbing a puppy’s nose in its pee on the carpet before forcing the little dog outside to sit on the cold porch while you clean the wet patch. You want that puppy to know he caused you to be annoyed and to do a little bit of extra work. You want the little rascal to get very intimately acquainted with what made you so annoyed. Before you toss the pup out into the cold, you just want to humiliate him a little bit and reclaim your superiority. After all, for the brief second the tiny dog was using your expensive carpet as a toilet, wasn’t he the one with the power?

3. I don't doubt for one minute ...

... that Trump dangled the prospect of a cabinet post just so he could humiliate poor Mittens for all the mean things he said about Donnie Boy.

Romney was not only pathetic, he was an idiot for not seeing that Trump's vindictiveness was behind the offer.

This is just gross and shows how cutthroat and nasty they are.

5. I'd like to be able to say I feel for Mittens but I don't.

He's still a loser.

Should've told Trump to kiss his ass.
