President-elect Donald Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway attacked former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, now a contender for secretary of state, warning him, "This is Trump's party now."

"I think that there was the 'Never Trump' movement and then there was Gov. Mitt Romney. He went out of his way to hurt Donald Trump. He gave two speeches that I can recall in this calendar year, and they were both about Donald Trump," Conway said on ABC's "This Week."
.................................
Conway has taken to Twitter over the past week to express some of her views on Trump's choice for secretary of state, tweeting a story from Politico about Trump loyalists warning against Romney as secretary of state and saying she was receiving "a deluge" of similar comments.

She also tweeted: "Kissinger & Schultz as Secs of State flew around the world less, counseled POTUS close to home more. And were loyal. Good checklist."

...................

She noted that Romney is one contender among others being considered for secretary of state. ....................

I wonder if Romney is still on the list after the way Conway talks of him?/

1. A moot point in any case, Kellyanne. The

Secretary of State gig is going to Fabio.

[awoke_in_2003]

39. Better Fabio than Ghouliani.

[saltpoint]

41. Yep. Forced to choose between

only those two, I think I'm on board with Fabio also.

[Solly Mack]

2. LMAO

Poor dear

[exboyfil]

3. I can't understand why Romney even wants it

I would wait in the weeds and try to primary the fool in four years. Encourage him to pick Giuliani even.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. He may have some misguided notion that he can prevent Trump

from stirring up an international incident that will lead to much worse. While Romney is probably the least bad of the SoS candidates I'm not sure he can do anything to control Trump.

[exboyfil]

14. Hats off to him if that is the case

It is sad that even Romney or even Pence looks better than the man about to become President. I frankly would run in the other direction in his administration. You need to look no further than Christie's banishment to see how he operates. He will be looking for a patsy in every situation.

Get ready to enter four years of darkness, and I am afraid probably lots of body bags.

[cilla4progress]

4. She's a freaking

scary person. The scariest. Puppet-master. She looks like a Nazi to me. Just sayin'.

[enid602]

32. Kellyanne

Kellyanne Conjob

[stonecutter357]

6. Kellyanne Conway a grab them by the pu##y type of girl./

[Achilleaze]

7. ...and yet Comrade Casino was being so nice to him (ha ha ha)

Republicans all got Master's degrees in hyprocrisy and projection.

Such horseshit. Do they even believe themselves? No evidence of that.

[kebob]

8. Trump is Hurt?

This isn't high school, CONway!

[Chipper Chat]

36. I wonder why she doesn't consider how Mitt Romney felt

when in a speech Trump said he could have ordered Mitt to drop to his knees (i.e. and give him a blow job) and Mitt would have done it. To me, that was the lowest thing Der Trumpfuhrer said during the campaign.

[awoke_in_2003]

40. I have to disagree

equating immigrants to rapists is worse. What he said about Romney was something directed at one opponent. What he said about immigrants was against a whole category of people.

[saltpoint]

9. Don King and Fabio have been hanging out at

Trump's Palm Beach joint, so we know The Donald has good counsel for choosing a Sec of State.

This is the most public of disputes so far for the Trump transition team. We'd imagine that ordinarily a dust-up like this would be on the shortest of leashes. But then again, this is Trump and his crew, so I guess nearly anything can happen.

[moonscape]

26. I don't see it as a dispute but as a public game. T never

intended to give SOS to Romney.

[saltpoint]

27. Yes, it's being kicked around that Trump's

team is so infuriated by Romney's "disloyalty" that they want him to publicly apologize to Trump and then will still not give him the Sec of State gig, but turn it over to some hack like Giuliani -- all just to burn Mitt.

I'm no fan of Mitt Romney by any stretch, and so I'm pretty negatively biased against him, but still think that if he apologizes to Trump publicly, he's more of a mess than I thought he was.

[moonscape]

28. It was always about revenge and humiliation. T's specialty n/t

[saltpoint]

29. It's despairing to think so, but I agree --

it's Trump's M.O.

Can't prove it, but it sure looks like that's the case here.

[Satch59]

10. She is never taken to task...

She deflects and is just so "cat fighty" especially against Hillary. I hate most in the Trump group but maybe her the most...ugh...

Bring on the recount and let them squirm, even if nothing changes.

[MFM008]

11. Out of his way to hurt maggot?

Yes. Someone needs to do that.

[saltpoint]

12. If Trump were not Trump he might

select Richard Lugar for the Secretary of State position.

Lugar is the last Republican Senator I know of (before he was kicked off the train in the GOP primary by a tea-bagger) who sees the world in global terms.

He's not the sort of Republican Trump seems to respect, but if Trump were someone with an actual brain, he would do a lot worse than to choose Richard Lugar.

[Sunlei]

13. did romney 'say' he was asked to be sos? I think he wants to mine Utahs shale oil stockpile.

Romney won't want to travel for 250 days a year out of country, he has no foreign diplomatic contacts what so ever except business contacts.

[saltpoint]

15. Good question. Romney might like the

idea of being Secretary of State, although holding that job under Donald Trump might not fit the picture Mitt has in mind.

Their temperaments seem very different to me, almost unworkably different. That's just a personal hunch, but even so, they don't seem like the sort of people who would naturally be associates.

The media report that Romney and Trump have met, but about what is still speculation. It's clear that Trump's staff is cool to a Romney appointment.

[Sunlei]

19. romney republicans will never like trump but they will try to do whatever they can to start mining

the filthy shale oil in Utah. If republicans can get rid of Americas clean air, clean water- mining regulations, it will be open season to tear out that shale oil and frack away across America.

[saltpoint]

20. Yes -- the GOP generally has been

a sworn enemy to environmental protections.

They like the sound of money, and that's about all I can see that has ever motivated them.

[randr]

16. This is Trump acting out his revenge instinct

Wasting his and tax payers time to pretend he would pick Romney only to further humiliate him.

[Sunlei]

23. I think that's close to the truth. maybe trump will ask the best SOSs, next- Kerry & Clinton.

About the best two SOS America ever had, doubt trump would even ask them. They'd say no anyway.

[Vinca]

17. So will Donnie think for himself or obey mom Kellyanne?

[lark]

18. Too bad it was a failed effort.

I really cant stand Conway, she has no sense of irony or proportion, she is a total ass, almost as bad as her boss, but not nearly as criminal. Although she aids and abets his criminality, so she's basically the same,

[yallerdawg]

21. "Social media."

The new democracy in action.

We should elect presidents by 'likes' - or did we?

[bucolic_frolic]

22. The woman lives in the post-truth era

lower the hormones

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. I love Republican infighting

Maybe he can appoint Ted (pants shitter) Nugent as SOS

[chowder66]

25. Says the woman who attacked Trump for being unpresidential and vulgar....

"Donald Trump’s new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, spent the primary season as a cable news pundit attacking Trump for his “unpresidential” and “vulgar” language, for having “built a lot of his business on the backs of the little guy,” and for not releasing his tax returns. Conway’s previous lines of criticism are similar to charges the Clinton campaign has levied to admonish the Republican candidate."


Here are a bunch of things Conway said against Trump;

[keithbvadu2]

30. If Romney is picked, she will then praise him to the max.

[colorado_ufo]

31. This little gal is quite a suck-up.

Almost as bad as Amarosa.

I have noted her in videos patting "The Donald" on the back, defending him in any situation, trying to make it look like newspeople who are just doing their jobs are picking on "her guy."

I think Melania had better watch her back; the next Mrs. Trump wannabe is waiting.

[NastyRiffraff]

34. Melania is safe from her

Kellyanne looks like she's aged at least ten years since she took the campaign manager's job. Or whatever her title was. She's no challenge to Melania.

Melania, though, is getting very close to her sell-by date, at least according to Trump. He's probably casing out models now.

[yardwork]

35. Like Ivanka, KellyAnne has learned what it takes to keep Donald happy.

It's like little fish hanging around the shark's teeth. They can get rich, but they have to watch out.

[cilla4progress]

33. Mean girls

all of them

Trump, Conway, Giuliani - evil

[roamer65]

37. I hope the groveling and public apology is a "bridge too far" for Mittens.

He really should just stay the fuck away from it.

[saltpoint]

42. Agree. But then again, there's the

greed factor, the glory factor. Wondering if Mitt's better judgment will lose out to devil greed and devil glory.

His significant ego may assert itself over more insightful considerations.

If Romney does turn Trump down, maybe Trump could tap Rafalca for the SOS gig. Rafalca has essentially the same qualifications as Romney -- Olympic experience, world travel, a preference for pageantry, etc.

[Old Vet]

38. Well I will say it, Mitt would be a reasonable pick for SOS compared to the other.....

Absolute fucking whackos hes been considering for other positions.
