Romney never stepped over the line and passed the infamous health plan. Romney doesn't have ethical issues while serving in government. But as a hedge fund manager, only held garage sales, absconded with pension funds and put Americans in unemployment lines.
Come to think of it, Romney would be a better Secretary of State for Trump. Romney holds some of Trump's sincerest love of money before any other aspects of his life. Everyone knows Trump expects any cabinet officer to conduct business when his blind trust family member seeks help from any American embassy. So, given Romney's expertise in greed and Trump's desire for more business, it could be workable. Guiliani doesn't know anything about offshoring like Romney does.

More than anything else, (click here) Trump is a pragmatist and a businessman. Operative question: What works? As he begins to organize his board of directors, otherwise known as the Cabinet, he’s surely aware that Romney, of those rumored to be under consideration, would be most effective on the world stage.
The pragmatist, by definition, is unemotional about such decisions. That Romney may not be Trump’s cup of tea on any number of fronts, including the impossibility of the two settling in for some “locker room talk,” the presidency confers a broader view of the world, not to mention the burden of all that follows.
What would not work is Rudy Giuliani. Not only does the man formerly known as “America’s mayor” act like he may have plunged his finger into a live socket but his outspokenness in defense of Trump has often seemed like the mad ranting of a man angry at the moon.
We still love 9/11 Rudy, but that Rudy seems to be missing. Even if he were present, the fellow who performs best in a crisis isn’t necessarily the one who performs best in preventing a crisis.
By stark contrast, Romney would help relax tensions abroad as well as at home. He has international credibility and a sophisticated understanding of complex global relationships. Remember, it was Romney who, during his final debate with President Obama in 2012, pointed to Russia as our greatest geopolitical foe....
Hm. Russia may be a deal breaker for Romney.
It is a tough choice for Trump.
