Why Top Trump Advisor Hates Mitt Romney

“Kellyanne Conway made one thing very clear in her Sunday interview with “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd: She’s not a fan of Mitt Romney. Like, at all.

Here’s how she responded to Todd’s question about her feelings about the 2012 Republican presidential nominee:

People feel betrayed to think that Governor Romney, who went out of his way to question the character and the intellect and the integrity of Donald Trump, now our president-elect, would be given the most significant Cabinet post of all, secretary of state. And that is a decision that only one man can make, President-elect Donald Trump. I will respect it, and I will support it 1,000 percent. But I’m reflecting what the grass roots are saying …

… They feel a bit betrayed that you can get a Romney back in there after everything he did. We don’t even know if he voted for Donald Trump. He and his consultants were nothing but awful to Donald Trump for a year.”

Romney has no dignity. after calling Trump a phoney and a con man, now he's begging him for a job.

some self respect FFS.

Kellyanne Conway is hilarious, when you know your boss has been treating his employees horribly over the last 4 decades, what makes you think you are so special and would get a fair treatment from him?

[thomasmackelly]

all it takes is one populist progressive and you can knock these clowns out of office.

[bestatnbak]

Goes to so how two faced many of the politicians are in this country

[doodelay]

I think she added the "daughter of Indian immigrants" part because she was trying to suggest that Trump is inclusive of other backgrounds besides white people lol

[simransimran]

The way she says that "daughter of Indian immigrants" implies that it's a token appointment.

[aureliaansah]

So, basically Trump is in exactly the same position, when it comes to donors, as Hilary Clinton. Hypocrite. Smh

[TheNKillham]

From the creators of Everybody Loves Raymond comes Everybody Hate Romney. This Fall on Fox.

Is TYT going to continue reading Wapo and NYT talking points, or are they going to cover real stories like Pizzagate?

"I'm a Muslim and not what the media portrays me to be"
Then he (Somali immigrant) ironically commits jihad.
Nobody could have seen it coming.

I really hope Romney is Secretary of State. It would be very refreshing to see a moderate assume one of the most powerful roles in Trump's cabinet instead of another alt-right wacko.

Is Kellyanne Conway TRYING to be voted off of Trump Island?

[mutopis]

This is turning into a weird game of throne reality tv.

Trump always forgives disloyalty, so I think Kellyanne is safe.

[fredfox]

Romney is not deplorable enough for a Trump cabinet. He should take himself out of the running, to preserve his integrity.

[eatmorenachos]

I'm no fan of Romney, but he'd be about the only grownup in that administration so far. He's one of the few sane choices Trump could make for his cabinet.

[TheDukeofMadness]

It's only the country that's going to suffer because of those people.

[leonb]

I think cenk is bang on when he says it's the donors

[yirapatricia]

I think her real boss isn't happy with Romney,

[rahdhol]

or maybe Romney talked too much shit about Trump during the campaign and she's protecting him?
