    - Yeah, people weren't flipping the F out when Trump said he *might* do this. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 24, 13:16
- Is the US going to fall into a civil war if the result is reversed? (NM) - Marlowe Nov 24, 11:31 3
  - It would end up in the courts. If there is no undisputed winner, no one can name anyone to the Supreme Court so there could be a tie. I don't know - jnine Nov 24, 12:07 1
    - Clearly, civil war.. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 24, 12:13
  - We can only hope. -- nm - Mop Nov 24, 11:33
Conway joins opposition to Romney....the idea of someone competent really lathers these people up -- (link) - crash davis Nov 24, 11:07 17
- Another track would be that Romney would never be a good fit because it would be extremely difficult to build up a trust after what he said. - Name Withheld by Request Nov 24, 11:16 15
  - Some guy ran for a party nomination in 2008; his major opponent questioned his experience and fitness. Stop me if you know how that ended.... -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 11:21 14
    - Though Hillary didn't question Obama's integrity or character, while Romney called Trump a phony and a fraud and a fake and a con man who is playing - Roger More Nov 24, 11:26 13
      - Well, if he wasn't a phony, fraud, fake, and a con man, I could see there being a problem. But...... -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 11:35
      - And there's the difference that you simply can't deny. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 24, 11:32 11
        
        but the people from the loyal to Trump wing just don't have the competency to be Secretary for State...the campaign is over, the game is now for keeps -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 11:37 10
        
        He's already promoted one critic (Nikki Haley), so there is nothing that suggests that Mitt criticism equates to "sycophant wanted". -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 24, 11:40 9
        
        That wasn't so much bringing on a critic as it was rewarding a supporter's loyalty, I think. - znufrii Nov 24, 12:59
        
        Huh? All the criticism of Romney is about his loyalty to Trump. If that isn't "syncophant wanted" I don't know what you'd call it. -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 11:46 7
        
        This isn't about Romney showing total capitulation when he's neutral. No, he got very specific and very personal. I think it is reasonable to ask... - Name Withheld by Request Nov 24, 11:54 6
        
        Wouldn't it really be about how he works with Pence? - . Nov 24, 13:11
        
        I absolutely agree with you on the "how is that supposed to work" front, but I hope he picks him for two reasons -- (edited) - Reagen Nov 24, 12:08 1
        
        I'm pessimistic. I think we left "how it is supposed to work" territory a long time ago -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 12:15
        
        Okay, I get what you are saying about working relationships. However, I think you may have an optimistic premise while I have a pessimistic one. -- (edited) - crash davis Nov 24, 12:03 2
        
        This was always the point I was going for with the original response in the thread. There's a different telling possible than just "No enemies." -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 24, 12:12 1
        
        Well, since he shut down his DC policy workshop and refused to pay the staffers, I'm in the "pick the best available" because there is no blueprint -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 12:17

maybe they miss Norv Turner - #thingsIneverthoughtIwouldtype -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 10:59 4
- and on the flip side of the field, I'd always let a FG kicker try 70 yards and in on the last play of a half -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 11:05
- injuries #1, conservative offense, opposition playing fairly well -- nm - budice Nov 24, 11:00 2
  - the offense is too conservative, imo -- nm - crash davis Nov 24, 11:04 1
    - Green Bay has way less excuses and doing worse -- nm - budice Nov 24, 11:11
