Romney in the cabinet would be a brilliant move by Trump. Would immediately diffuse concerns about him being a thin-skinned egomaniac.

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

and Romney's acceptance would also insulate Romney, because he has already criticized Trump. It would be an astute play.Originally posted by myboynoah View Post"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."

White horse not in the poll position but taking up spots 4 and 5 if things get ugly.One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.
Woot
I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.

I don't really mind Evan. He made a gutsy play that will put him in an advantageous position next election cycle. His new party may have a shot of becoming the third party for which many have been clamoring. I may have mentioned that the guy lived above me and was in my ward at BYU. It took a while for me to remember who he was.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
Many of his supporters are another story and can be super annoying.Comment

The Trump folks on my feed have been surprisingly decent. Even my Evan supporter friends have been mostly ok although I think a couple of my single female friends are angling to become Mrs. Evan McMullin. Unfortunately one of those friends put me in the McMullin for President Facebook group so I get to read all of the crap in there. My Hillary supporting friends are easily the worst.Comment

I'd honestly feel conflicted about it. I'd be relieved because Trump's love affair with Russia frightens me and Mitt wouldn't put up with that bullshit. I'd also be disappointed in Mitt after making such a principled and vocal stand to compromise that to accept a position of power.Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View PostLast edited by frank ryan; 11-17-2016, 05:07 PM.Comment

Doesn't his opposition to Trump compel him to take such an appointment out of that same principle? Maybe he has an obligation to help steer the Trump ship.Originally posted by frank ryan View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

This is nonsense. Mitt is no more angling to work for Trump than his dad was to work for Nixon. It's an opportunity to serve the country during a pretty precarious time and we should all be praying that Trump has the sense to pick real talent for his cabinet. Partisan criticism of good people stepping up hurts the country.Originally posted by frank ryan View PostComment

Seriously? I'm not issuing partisan criticism of Mitt. Sheesh. The man held a press conference harshly (and accurately) criticizing and denouncing Trump. So I'm not sure it's good form for him to serve in that cabinet.Originally posted by YOhio View PostComment

This stuff happens and it would speak incredibly well of both men if they put it aside for the good of the country. Hillary ran a cutthroat campaign against Obama and she served in his cabinet. But maybe you're right and Mitt should refuse a cabinet spot so Trump could get a Rudy G or John Bolton type in there. Sure he could have helped his country in a time of deep global unrest, but at least he stayed consistent and didn't disappoint those who liked his press conference!Originally posted by frank ryan View PostComment

Maybe I'm not clear. I trust Mitt's abilities to be a good and patriotic secretary of state, but I also find his principled opposition his own party's awful candidate also valuable. I told you I'm conflicted, not in complete opposition. But don't paint me as a partisan hack for having these feelings. Fair point on John Bolton and Rudy, those guys are jokes at best.Originally posted by YOhio View PostComment
