Interesting take on why Trump is considering Romney for State Department

Posted on | December 1, 2016 | 1 Comment

An article below says that Trump is considering Romney for State because he wants Romney to engage in deep cuts in the State Department. Personally, I believe that there are hundreds of successful businessmen, who can do the same cuts, Rudy Giulliani can do the same cuts. There is no need to appoint someone who called Trump a fraud and a con-men and who did everything in his power to stop Trump and help Hillary get elected (including running a puppet, Evan McMullin). I am not convinced there is justification for appointment of Romney. Also, today it was announced that Sarah Palin is being considered to be the Secretary of VA. I am wondering if this is a diversion  from intended announcement of Romney as SOS. Newt Gingrich, KellyAnne Conway, Brent Bozell, Sean Hannity and millions of Trump supporters agree with me. Appointment of Romney might cause Trump to lose a chunk of his base in 2020 and lose re-election.

Although I don’t like the way Romney has acted in the past, and the fact that if he were to be selected as SOS; a lot of people would not like or understand Trump’s reasoning. However, this article makes a little sense to me.  Just some food for thought.

Be safe, Roger

Why Trump is courting Romney
for the State Department
American Thinker, by Thomas Lifson    Original Article
All the brouhaha over the alleged rifts within the Trump transition over Mitt Romney misses the point. I think it is theatre, a distraction by the same man who was able to direct media attention where he wanted it all throughout the campaign. Donald Trump has a plan that eludes his critics, who can’t help thinking about politics the way it has always been played, and still do not grasp his thinking nor the range of new tools he brings to the presidency.

 

The Department of State is badly broken and desperately needs to be fixed. State requires fundamental restructuring as well as the departure of many entrenched figures whose goals and beliefs are antagonistic to realistic confrontation with Islamic Jihad and the generations-long efforts of Muslim states to “wipe Israel off the map.” The State Department is full of people called “Arabists,” who instinctively blame Israel when it is attacked and defends itself, and who presume that the US should attend to the prejudices of hundreds of millions of Arab Muslims because they are so populous, and because they have oil and have funded an amazing number of sinecures for retired bureaucrats with generous compensation and few demands (other than reflexive support whenever an issue arises).

 

(snip)

First of all, my assumption is that when he assumes the presidency, Donald Trump will largely make foreign policy from the White House, a move with much precedent. He would do this by using the National Security Council staff, who do not require Senate confirmation, and who can operate quicker and more flexibly than the barnacle-encrusted State Department protocols allow.

Mitt Romney as Secretary of State would focus not on policy but doing to the State Department what he has done to rescuing poorly performing companies: close down entire segments of the organization, and reorganize what the survivors do around re-thought goals and procedures.  This is a formidable art, and one that Romney is an acknowledged master of, thanks to his many years at Bain Capital, buying companies and turning them around.  He has deep experience in re-focusing on what matters most and the most effective ways to accomplish the re-defined priorities.

It helps a lot to be a total stranger if you are making ruthless cuts. Bolton’s experience at the State Department could be a plus in many ways, but also his human relationships could be an obstacle for sweeping change.  He would be only a phone call away from Romney, were the latter to need his advice. The portrait of Romney painted by the Obama campaign in 2012 could be turned to advantage if State Department employees started sending out their resumes in anticipation of Mitt the Knife forcing them out.

    As bad as Romney is Bain Capital did teach him how to chop up business and get rid of people.
