Had this thought last week. Now if i got an idea many others must be having the same thoughts. Logic101
New idea starting to gain all important 'traction'.
Upshot is State Department is huge part of the barn that needs cleaning out. And only Mitt could do it.
Trump may be a genius. Or not. Just hope this plays out.
President Trump and Mitt game the media So let us look at this logically. Why would President Trump want Mitt on his Cabinet? What would skills would Mitt bring? What does Trump want to do?
Mitt is an experienced, capable, proven, corporate fixer. He could clean house at Foggy Bottom -- which is what they call the State Department.
Definitely if you want to drain the swamp, you start there. Foggy Bottom is saturated with Arabists and people who accommodated the Clinton Foundation.
So Mitt's the man. Call him up. Reel him in.
What does Trump offer Mitt? Relevance. Mitt shot his reputation with his Never Trump ramps. No one wants to end a career as a loser -- twice. Secretary of State would be a challenge and a noble cause, as well as another part of the quest for the first Mormon president. It won't be him, but maybe it will be one of his sons. He is a long thinker too. Most successful people are.
So what is with this song and dance?
While Trump and Romney can bury the hatchet, Trump's supporters are not there yet. And so the men waltz. This is great theater. President Trump is training his supporters to accept Mitt. He does this with another rope-a-dope of the discredited media.
The dance also shows Trump's diplomatic chops. He is showing the world that he has charm and he can get what he wants.
For Mitt, this is rehabilitation. The Madman -- the Orange Julius Caesar -- graciously forgave him. Why should not the rest of us?
I thought Trump had picked Rudy, but I was wrong. (Yes, it happens.) Oh he still may select Rudy, but it looks like Mitt. Or maybe not. At any rate, enjoy the dance.
