There are a few people in the Trump camp with some sense. Kellyanne Conway just might be one of them. Romney is a horrible choice for Secretary of State, not because he has no foreign policy experience. We hope he appoints someone with absolutely no experience.

We have had enough experience in that job. In fact, we've had enough experience in Washington. Just take a look at what got us here. Insiders, left and right. We don't oppose Romney because he's not one of the Republican party regulars; we oppose him because he is.  Forget the peace pipe passing. Forget the party unification, all BS designed to hide more of the same. Screw the pundits. If they get things wrong any more than they have, they'll eventually get something right. But this won't be one of them.

If they had their way they would've hung you out to dry in the primaries. Screw Romney. That's what he's said to the people many times. People, not the party elected Trump. Put some real people in there. Put a goddam farmer in there. He can't do any worse. He'll certainly display some appreciation if he's a real farmer for the fucking soil.

For weeks the Trump campaign has seemingly been agonizing over the Secretary of State position.  Media reports, to which we attribute the utmost credibility, have suggested that the decision has divided Trump's transition team into three factions: those who want Romney, those who want Giuliani and those who prefer anyone other than those two frontrunners.
While we have no way of knowing what is actually fact versus fiction, what we do know is that Kellyanne Conway is not in the Romney camp.  Conway has made the rounds on this weekend's political talk shows bashing Romney for his brutal criticism of Donald Trump throughout the primaries and general election saying that Trump supporters would "feel betrayed to think that Governor Romney, who went out of his way to question the character and the intellect and the integrity of Donald Trump, now our president-elect, would be given the most significant cabinet post of all, Secretary of State."  Per Politico:

“I’m all for party unity, but I’m not sure that we have to pay for that with the Secretary of State position,” Conway said. “We don’t even know if Mitt Romney voted for Donald Trump.”

And she wasn't done yet.

Later, on NBC's "Meet the Press," Conway continued to make the case against Romney.

"People feel betrayed to think that Governor Romney, who went out of his way to question the character and the intellect and the integrity of Donald Trump, now our president-elect, would be given the most significant cabinet post of all, Secretary of State," Conway told host Chuck Todd.

"They feel a bit betrayed that you can get a Romney back in there after everything he did."
Here's what Conway had to say on CNN's "State of the Union":
