for the first time, I was actually starting to respect Mitt Romney. During the campaign, he really nailed it when it came to Trump and I thought, maybe the guy does have character and integrity.

This is beyond disappointing. He is just like all the rest, fawning over the crude and vulgar king, hoping a crumb will be tossed his way. Mitt, the guy is making a fool out of you and apparently you deserve it.

Romney's fake tan for Univision, and Donald Trump was still a harmless joke. Romney in London insulting the Brits, completely clueless.

Obama ran a wonderful campaign and I actually got to go to two of his rallies. Don't think I'll ever see anything like that again.

Romney is diplomatic and though conservative would not be a total embarrassment on the world stage. He did once head up the Olympic Committee and has some limited experience dealing with foreign representatives.

I think he's calm and cool-headed, probably the best we can hope for in a Trump secretary of state. If he has to suck up to get the appointment over dangerous hotheads, I see why he would do so, and not necessarily for selfish reasons.

We were watching Chris Matthews when he was interrupted by "BRAKING NEWS" Romney was entering the restaurant!

And it was after it was announced that Trump and Romney (and wives?) were meeting for dinner.

Whopee.

I was expecting to next to hear BRAKING NEWS - Romney entered the men's room. What will it be, what will it be? Number 1 or Number 2? Will he wash his hands? Are there real towels there or just paper ones?

Mostly: when will the media learn??

He should EMBRACE his gobble-gobble double chin, like Bert Large of Doc Martin fame! Instead, he poses absurdly, gets furious at photographers and media, and poses for STUPID pics like this.

When "Mittens" shuffles off his mortal coil -- and not soon enough, IMHO -- his immortal soul will be dispatched to a different planet. Uranus, perhaps?

This dinner came at a hefty price. All those years of wearing the magical underwear for naught. So sad...

Now, as for Romney. He is a politician. Frankly, I see him winning in a long-game with Trump.

Trump goes for what's in front of him. He's helped by having no scruples.

But Romney isn't stupid. He doesn't need Trump.

I would LOVE it if was symbolic on Mitt's part. Of course it isn't. At least not intentionally. But the Universe has a sense of humor, no doubt.
