Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) as the new Secretary of Health and Human Services. It is another good choice.
I wish Congressman Price would speak to Kellyanne Conway about GOP unity and the election.
Conway is a pollster and should know better, but she claims Trump does not need Romney, and is far more popular than Romney.
Trump did win one percent victories in PA, WI and MI, and he ran well in rural areas of the Midwest.
Conway says Trump won Michigan and Romney lost it by 9%. What she doesn't say is that Romney did far better in other areas, and especially in the traditionally Republican suburbs.
For example, Romney did 7% better than Trump in Texas. Price could tell Conway about his own suburban Atlanta district that was always safely red until this year.
Romney carried the district 61-37, but Trump took it by just 48-47. It is the type of well-educated suburban seat where Trump was a poor fit.
Price himself was easily re-elected 62-38, and there are many similar examples.
I am glad Trump's approval rating has increased since the election, and once again, he is making some wise appointments. He deserves credit for bringing in new voters.
However, he also lost voters, and I would like to regain them. Romney would be a great step toward GOP unity, and of more importance, he would be outstanding Secretary of State.
This image is from an Obama ad attacking Romney, but Romney was correct.
If we had listened to Romney there would not be 500,000 dead in Syria, ISIS in Iraq's second largest city, and 12 million refugees.
Romney was right.
