And why not?

After the shit Romney talked about him and the way he tried to screw Trump out of the nomination, he had it coming.

What do you think Trump should do?

Turn the other cheek like Jesus said?

Not a word that Romney said about Trump was untrue. It did, however, seem to upset Trump sycophants such as Conway and yourself.

Romney Is A Lying Sack Of Shit. I've held that opinion of him ever since back when he ran in 2008. Nothing he said about Trump changed that one bit.

More proof that you're a Trump sycophant.

Conway and Gingrich didn't leave the reservation. They're willing stooges for Trump/Bannon. He's turned the whole transition into a reality TV and has referred to cabinet candidates as "finalists."
Yep. The thing is that Romney might have been a fairly decent in that role. Now, Trump will nominate some asshole that has no business being there.......simply because they've kissed the kings ring.

Conway is no sycophant. Conway is a skilled communicator who Trump needs, especially when he shoots himself in the foot. It is her job to present Trump in the best light to the public, to minimize awkward, negative situations. She is good!

I think it is more in line with Finnbow's argument... "throwing a bone to the establishment".

That's also the way I see Pence's pick for VP.

I've heard this argument about Conway, but I guess I'm less impressed with her than you are. She seems like a dissembling, dishonest and opportunistic little twit. YMMV.

Maybe she can get someone to present her in a better light to the public.
