When he gets into a feud it lasts forever. when hes putting the cabinet together we saw romneys name, nikki haley in south carolina, even democrats could end up in cabinet. i have seen michelle reids name pop up as secretary of education, and maybe jim webb. i think it is a good thing, not a bad thing. >> today we are talking about mitt romney, talking about nikki haley, we are talking about general flynn but not talking about his controversial hire of steve bannon. is it a smart move by donald ...

You write flirtations with mitt romney is smart. who he picks for key cabinet posts and secretary of state is one of the most defining indications of where trumps mind is. picking romney or nikki haley, another prominent critic with whom trump met thursday will choose something thats lacking in donald trump, the candidate. m magnanimity. someone that might challenge his assumptions or opinions from time to time. romney meeting is a step in the right direction. >> well read the whole "the washing...
