Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney appears to be nothing less than another run-of-the-mill politician, who will say anything to further his own political aspirations. His prior demeaning remarks about Donald Trump were nothing less than vicious, condemning and denigrating, leaving no doubt as to his ill feelings toward the presidential nominee. He blatantly characterized Trump as "a fraud," "a phony," "a con man," and "a fake," "who has to be stopped," because he would "bring the country to a point of collapse!" He had nothing good to say about this man who he said was "playing the American public for suckers!"
Well, things have changed since Trump won the election. Romney, who is being considered for a presidential cabinet position (secretary of state), has wished the president-elect "well," and has nothing but good things to say about the man he said lacked character, and did not have what it takes to be president.
The political flip-flopping hypocrisy is sickening!
