Donald Trump is humiliating one of his fiercest critics by making Mitt Romney grovel in public in order to be named secretary of state. And he could easily humiliate Romney completely by not naming him.
Romney said what millions of us thought. But it turned out there weren’t quite as many of us as we thought there were.
But Cassidy suspects otherwise. He goes on: “The cynical explanation is that Romney is in it for himself. He’s sixty-nine, and this is almost certainly his last chance to hold high government office. ‘Romney critics—and those are the people pushing this theory—point to his past flip-flops on such issues as abortion and gay marriage as evidence that when a deeply held belief comes up against Romney’s ambition, ambition always wins,’ the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza noted on Wednesday. ‘So, Romney wants to be secretary of state more than he hates Trump. It’s that simple a calculation.’”
