there was nelson rockefeller in new york, for starters, and george romney in michigan.talk of reagan. but nixon had a lock on the delegates. >> we are a nation in crisis. right now, change rules america. it's time for america to rule change. it is my privilege to place a nomination, the man for 1968, the honorable richard m. nixon. [ cheers and applause ] >> there are 30 votes in wisconsin. and this should be put him across. >> richard m. nixon. [ applause ] >> sit down, get to work. [ laughter ] >> it looks like nixon. nobody is really surprised. and no committed republican feels cheated. what was the fuss all about? >> the republicans understand that nixon, in this time of tumultuousness, he gives people the sense of continuity. >> what is most important now is for us to think how we can get this war ended. >> mr. nixon talks of an honorable peace, but says nothing about how he would attain it. >> at this point, the war is continuing at as hot a pace as it has ever been. more troops are being killed every week than at any time in the course of the war. >> we knew that

his father george romney served in richard nixon's cabinet, and then ended up quitting the cabinet. and he was hud secretary. and he ended up quitting the cabinet over a policy issue. and writing nixon now a famous letter how he disagreed with him and think about that in the back of donald trump's mind, in the back of mitt romney's mind, that his father left rather than be disloyal. >> we'll see what happens. what happens at that dinner tonight. i suspect donald trump, the presidents-elect is getting closer and closer to a key decision. >>> coming up, investigators are searching now for a motive in the attack of the ohio university stabbing. what we have found. new information. >>> and a secret ballot cast tomorrow whether nancy pelosi keeps her job. some members of congress came out in support of her rival, congressman tim ryan. standing by to join us live, the latest from his perspective on this enormous battle emerging over the house democratic leadership race. >>> we'll be right back. can help you take on a new job, or fill a big order or expand your office and take on whatever

in 1968 george romney said he was brainwashed by the military brass in vietnam. in 2015 trump said he got his military advice from the shows. [laughter] romney faded from the national stage after that remark, trump only gained prominence. the verbal faucet gushing from trump's mouth spewed insults at everyone in the race, including the fox news gop debate which drew an audience of 24 million. that show tripled the viewership of any previous primary debate and topped numbers for the nba finals, the world series and the finale of "the walking dead." trump delighted in treating senators and governors on his stage like zombies. recalling his 1989 quote in time, i like beating my enemies into the ground, viewers -- cheering such entertainment during their couch time -- rooted for trump as they did norman' discuss' walking dead character daryl dixon doing the same thing. one by one, the zombies went down. [applause] >> i think in a postanalysis of the republican primary process, part of trump's ability to win was because he was running against the walking dead, an enti

and i was with george romney. around the block on the issues i was very involved and to some extent that peter is well aware of my critique as well as his colleague as have numerous e-mail accounts and don't have half an hour to go over all that is why will just can't a few points just to pull up that chart with a high risk loans? could do that to a the audience how bad this misleading that charge is with the fundamental problem i have always had with the dead and peter in terms of how they look upon this subprimal and the i.r.a. alt-a loans with the option are loans that our unbelievable days toxic with negative amortization. >> if you look at what we have got my glasses is save a little foggy but start with loans starting at 620 cycles core. -- fico score. data origination of over 90 percent to 267 billion. my math is not great but it seems like that is almost 600 billion of the 837 billion. at my right? that is a huge. this is what i would tell you. i have done multiple studies for congress on the housing crisi

i believe the people of michigan think that george romney has had experience with his job by reason ofaving run an automobile company. you were told in my production, my experience was in the field of a national labor organization. i was president for six terms of my union. yearshout most of my 20 on the board, i was in charge of participating in negotiations across the table. our performers with regard to their wages and working conditions. i think that we have a record to be proud of. one thing that i learned, we asked ourselves -- i don't mean to sound noble, but we asked ourselves three questions before we went to the bargaining table. we look to our demands and said, is it fair to actors? , number two is it fair to the other fella on the other side of the table, and number three, is it fair to the public? neither management nor worker, has a right to negotiate a deal over that table that results in a product beyond the price public should reasonably pay. [applause] now, my experience has turned me inevitably toward the people for the answers to the problems. i put my faith in the

republican that thinks of dwight eisenhower and charles pursy and bill schaefer and thinks of george romney, any of those type people. the republican party had people that understand the issues and presented candidates that can act as president even if their positions were more conservative than the democrats. but this year is the choice between confidence or incompetence. and i think the american people would choose the right candidate and we'll have somebody that can see that we honor our obligations with nato to protect people. i've been to the baltic region and those people are very fearful of russia. we can't have a person like trump who might be making deals that make the trump plaza or some other russian country or some other business enterprise a priority over our nation. america first. >> two states of play. the first is whom do people like better? the most historically negative numbers for both of these candidates. you have the write up on the screen for the audience right now. favorable. 46 and 40. at this point in an election, almost unheard of for two nominees. unfavorable, 52

we go back to mitt romney, john mccain and even the george bush campaign of 2004 dot conservatives over the platform and donald trump helped us formulate the most conservative party platform. he's pledged to protect religious liberty to a point justices that are pro-life and he's also brought close attention to how they've used the national military for social experimentation and our military has one purpose and one purpose only not to advance some kind of a social agenda but rather to fight and win wars and keep america safe. if he pursues the agenda he campaigned on, he will not only be a candidate that enjoyed broad support launching him into the white house i believe he will have support throughout his tenure as president and i believe if the republicans led by donald trump followed through on their commitments we are on the cusp of a generation. the branches depleted. branch is depleted. they have no leadership. they've taken the party for a joyride in the last 80 years and it's now broken down. this will be the republican conservative generation. >> we will hear from jenny thomas

romney. this was a fascinating dinner with pass naturesing comment after jean-georges. let's play the sound for mitt romney talking about after this meal. >> i happen to think that america's best days are ahead of us. i think you're going to see america continuing to lead the world in this century. and what i've seen through these discussions i've had with president-elect trump, as well as what i've seen in his speech the night of his victory, as well as the people he selected as part of his transition. all of those things combined give me increasing hope that president-elect trump is the very man who can lead us to that better future. thank you. >> the very man, lead us to that better future. he called donald trump a winner. now mitt romney didn't apologize, but that's a gushing phrase from the republican nominee. >> yeah, in some ways we're seeing sort of a delayed version of what everyone typically expects in the general election. but, you know, republicans are realizing they control washington. they've got the presidency, they've got the senate, they've got the house

there's a great deal of history with your grandfather george romney. do you think it would be a mistake for president-elect trump not to choose your uncle and this reach out to those who maybe didn't like him, oppose him, the establishment, whatever you want to call them, would be a wasted opportunity if your uncle doesn't get that post? >> i have absolute faith and confidence in president-elect trump's judgment. the team -- neil: even if his judgment is not your uncle? >> whoever he choses will be right to be our secretary of state. neil: you're good. i tell you. i was trying to catch you and embarrass you and you didn't take the bait. >> not going work. neil: ii appreciate it. all right. this is the last day of the month. nicole petallides on the winners and losers for the next to the last month of the year. nicole: this has been a great month. dow 5.8%. we had our trump rally, dow is over a thousand points this month and what has led our way has been financials, industrials and telecom and we are taking a look at some of the best performers. goldman

but to let you know that i go way back, the days when i was in the general counsel's office with george romney, 1969. i've been around the block a lot on these issues. i was involved with committed investment act and to some extent the gse, i will mention it in a minute. peter is well aware of my critique of what his book as well as his colleague who i've had numerous e-mail accounts. i do have a half an hour to go over all that some destroyed to hit a few points. i'm going ask peter to both that chart that you showed a high risk loans. could you please do that, peter? i want to point out to the audience how come i hate to say this, misleading that charges. and the fundamental problem of voici'vealways had and many othe have always had with and in peter in terms of how they love to lump subprime alt-a loans and for those of you don't know, alt-a loans is basically a euphemism for what's called option a.r.m. loans which are unbelievably toxic. they have negative amortization and interest only. they were the worst performing a loans along with s&ls. let me see if i can read this without my glass

that -- congressman messer is that they expecting to be the typical republican president, george bush, mitt romney, ted cruz or marco rubio, they would expect them to act like they would have but i don't know if that is a solid assumption. donald trumpad talk about infrastructure spending. typically, it has been that any dollars spent needs to be offset from spending elsewhere. that that could be difficult. everyone talking about repealing obama care, which is great, but i have paul ryan talking about medicare, not something donald trump said anything about during the campaign. movie go along with paul ryan's long-standing desire to remake entitlement programs? basically, you can start their and keep working. we will be looking at some serious fiscal debates and we do not know -- donald trump says he is picking good that -- is the king good that, what -- king does debt, so what does that mean? the unpredictability of donald trump is the reason we are here and the reason we do not know how this relationship will shake out. read the: -- greta: daniel, what do you hear when it comes to -- excuse me,

years, going back to being in the days of the journal counsel's office with george, not mitt, george romney, 1969. so, i've been around the block a lot on these issues. i was very involved with the community reinvestment act and to some extent the gse thing, so i'm going to mention it in a minute. peter is well aware of my critique of what his book, as well as his colleague at pinto, who i've had numerous e-mail accounts. i don't have a half an hour to go over all that, so i'm just going to hit a few points. i'm going to ask peter to pull up that chart that you showed on high-risk loans. could you please do that, peter? i want to point out to the audience how, i hate to say this, misleading that chart is. and it's a fundamental problem i've always had and many other people have had with ed and peter in terms of how they love to lump subprime and all hrt-a , which is basically a euphemism for what's called auction a.r.m. loans, which are unbelievably toxic. they have negative amortization, interest-only, the lowest performing loans along with snls. >> is this the chart you want? >> look what

letting you know i go way back to days i was in general counsel's office with george, not mitt, george romney 1969. so i've been around the block a lot on these issues. i was very involved with the community reinvestment act and to some extent the gse thing, so i'm going to mention it in a minute. peter is well aware of my critique of what his book, as well as his colleague at pinto, who i've had numerous e-mail accounts. i don't have a half an hour to go over all that, so i'm just going to hit a few points. i'm going to ask peter to pull up that chart that you showed on high-risk loans. could you please do that, peter? i want to point out to the audience how, i hate to say this, misleading that chart is. and it's a fundamental problem i've always had and many other people have had with ed and peter in terms of how they love to lump sub prime loans and loans, which is basically a euphemism for what's called auction a.r.m. loans, which are unbelievable toxic. they have negative amortization, interest-only, the lowest performing loans along with snls. >> is this the chart you want? >> look what

this is not george romney's michigan. greg: this is the one upset in the primary season. lost michigan to bernie sanders and the polls did not catch that. i keep being told that if donald trump becomes president the senate will be there to put him in check and balance so he cannot do that much damage. is that true? analogouss somewhat to if she wins because the house will be a check on her and whoever wins will have one of the houses working against them. thatine: what american america represents depending on who is president is huge. it makes a difference if you add regulation, on whether foreign policy is your priority. friend whoe an old has told me 40 years that gridlock is good because they do less harm, and i think that will be one of the takeaways of tonight election. francine: is it a done deal that we get fiscal spending? marc: the key is how will that be financed -- greg: the key is how will that be financed. with the fed balance sheet so high -- morbid appetite for higher taxes. tom: the thing that disturbs me the most, the washington post has done a great job

romney last night. a big dinner meeting john george, at the trump international hotel here. in new york city. lot of discussion over the top aides, still, who would make the best pick for the job, the best high profile picture. >> let's talk about donald trump's bid for treasury secretary tore, he spent 17 years at goldman sachs. he was also trump's campaign finance chairman. expect him to be grilled. he bought the company for penneys on the dollar. paid millions of fines and then sold it for a big profit. trump is also tapping a fellow billionaire, longtime friend and colleague, wilbur ross. he owns his own investment company. and made huge money in steel and cole. and also a billionaire, some say education secretary betsy devos is worth billions. i've known devos for years. in a company whos that thought deeply about upward mobility for people in this country. and he had concerns about, you know, education, how well we're educating our students. how well we're viewing things to be prepared to lead this century. these are things that i've spoken to him personally about. so he's an interestin

romney. former president george hw bush sent out this message. barbara and i congratulate donald trump and wish him well as he guides america forward as our next president. his family is in our prayers and 1-time rival jeb bush said as president, columba and i will pray for you in the days and months to come. always enthusiastically support trump but gave him credit today. >> many of our fellow citizens feel alienated and have lost faith in our core institutions. they don't feel hurt and they don't feel represented by those in office. but donald trump heard a voice in the country that no won't else heard. he connected in ways with people no one else did. >> our analyst jon keller back now and ryan. it was more than a decade since the party controlled the white house and congress as well. can the republicans, though, actually work together? >> in theory, it should be easy. >> you would think so. >> although, the period that you just referred to, the middle years of the georgia administration were not notable. i looked it up. the 109th congress was

like george -w- bush or mitt romney. it's hard to say.... trump is doing 'tremendous' with women voters..... when he's polling lower than past republicans... leading politifact to rate this claim.... as false the justice department will be monitoring the polls in 28 states tomorrow.. including nevada.. to make sure all eligible voters can cast a ballot. this year.. 500 representatives will be involved. the d-o-j says that's considerably fewer than 2012 down certain elements of the voting rights act. we all know..... every vote counts... but... when it comes to the electoral college... it's.... a real numbers game. it takes..... -2- hundred -70- electoral college votes.... to win.... the white house. if you rank the states..... by personal vote power... new york comes in last. each electoral vote is worth..... about -6- hundred -80- thousand people. wyoming votes count the most.... with about..... -1- hundred -86- thousand people per e the average..... electoral college vote represents..... -4- hundred -36- thousand people. if you're wonderin

a guy named romney, not mitt but george, the father of mitt romney who had been michigan governor, runile in the '68 contest. there are plenty of examples. george h.w. bush appointed jack kemp who challenged him for the nomination in 1988. you mention jfk, lbj, how about reagan joining forces with george hw bush after he called reagan's economic program voodoo economics which we all remember from ferris bueller. >> this was the case of a former nominee coming out to say this guy shouldn't even be running, certainly shouldn't be our nominee, certainly shouldn't be our president. it is a little different in that regard, isn't it? >> yeah, okay, you've come up with something that i can't find a parallel for. congratulations, neil. >> i'm curious, though, say it is true and he does join the administration, journalists will keep replaying tapes but you say that has a shelf life of so long, it could go a long way, get easy confirmation, wouldn't be some of the vetting issues that might accompany some others, including rudy giuliani. do you think that's playing the part here? >> well, it migh

romney. john mccain. george w. bush was supposedly close in california. it nearly cost him theÑi electi. too deeply into signs of momentum, crowd that thing. people are engaged this. is the 11th hour. you hope people are engaged. we don't know very much, we will know more in 36 hours. >> dickerson: john, mark brings up a good point. the rnc put a lot on the grouped. the rnc is not donald trump. this is about the smartiepants elites and real human beings. >> nobody at this table. dickerson: present company included. one of the challenges of the election is the smart people think they know what is going on. donald trump is successful doing his thing. is that the story of the old fashion question of the -- of the science of politics and turning people out and analytics and all you hear that is suppose to make politics a science? maybe donald trump knows something better. >> well, if that's trueÑi a lotf us have to check a lot of our preconceptions at the door. here is where i don't think it's true. i think it's most important to think about what is going on. michigan and everything else. th

the two most recent republican nominees, neither supporting donald trump, john mccain and mitt romney. georgeing him either. the three most recent republican nominees not supporting trump. he thinks that's a virtue. that gets to your partner about paul ryan. a loyal supporter of bush and mccain. i think the split after november 8, assuming trump loses, between let's call them the paul ryan republicans and the donald trump republicans will be very great and fought out in a million different venues in the coming weeks, months and years. >> she returned from an uplifting message to going hard against donald trump. her criticisms of trump and ads against him and him against her is she's using his words against him. it's more fact-based. that said, if she wins it's winning ugly. >> we are old enough to remember the conventional wisdom from campaigns. you want a close positive, you need it to get the voters out. they want to feel pretty good. this wasn't the year for it to happen. the clinton campaign will say they tried to go positive, lay out the agenda early on. the media didn't pay attention an

donald trump and mitt romney appeared cozy..... dinning at "jean georges".... in new york city. this is the second meeting..... for the president-elect and romney... the two are reportedly in talks...... over romney..... possibly serving in the trump administration.... as "secretary of state". president-elect donald trump replace obamacare. trump has nominated georgia representative tom price to become secretary of health and human services. price is a leading critic of the affordable care act.. calling it broken and unaffordable. trump has also tapped elaine chao for transportation secretary. she was the first asian-american woman to serve in a cabinet position as labor secretary for president george w. bush. a mother finds herself being attacked... after she walked into..... but... what she did next... probably saved her life. and a warning about some of those high tech christmas gifts. many of them can be hacked.. including some in your own kitchen. tonight.. some tips on how to keep strangers from invading your privacy. bystanders watched and took pictures. a security camera

i said, you know, i talked about mitt romney, george bush, reagan, mccain like it was the end of the world. it would never have been the end of the world with those guys. this is different. [ cheers and applause ] this guy is different. they have no respect for the rule of law. it's only about vengeance. people say, can he win? can he win? does chris christie eat over the sink? [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's sometimes the best way to do it. of course. >> and also, i'm scared because, you know, democrats never figured out, really, how to beat trump. every time he went down, it was by his own doing. you said it in your monologue. now they took away his phone. you want to trust the guy with the nuclear codes, like obama said, who you can't trust with the phone? [ light laughter ] no, i think what the democrats have to do is what they do in serial killer movies. you know, when the cops can't figure out how to beat the serial killer to work with them who knows how the guy thinks. that's what we -- we got to find another narcissistic billionaire. i'm thinking el chapo. [ laughter ] >> jimmy

george bush going from liberal to conservative. >> it's completely different. donald trump is not a normal candidate. if mitt romney beaten obama i would have been disappointed but not all worried for by community or african-americans or muslims or women or lgbt. this is a man trafficked in bigotry and racism. george w. bush didn't, romney didn't. >> those candidates would have been disqualified about that. if president obama talked about groping women would have been a real problem. they're seeing what was said by donald trump before he became president and even though he may be softening the tone now they're still remembering. these are deep psychic wounds that people have. >> what are you seeing and hearing? people telling you? >> people with a lot of fear and disgust because they don't understand what the country is about, how this could happen and there's something else really strange going on we sense too. there's a real excitement in that people don't know what's going to happen from one day to the next, feel really alive because it is a combination of excitement and fear and it has the adrenaline going. wha

we go back to mitt romney john mccain and the george bush campaign of 2045 conservatives over the platform. donald trump actually helped us. they helped us formulate the most conservative party platform in the history of the department previous pledge to defend and protect religious liberty to a point justices that i mentioned are pro-life and has brought close attention to how this administration has used our national military as a laboratory for social experimentation. and our military has one purpose and one purpose only -- not to advance a social agenda but to fight and win and keep america safe. donald trump will not only be a candidate who enjoys broad support launching him into the white house from will come i believe he will have even joked with support throughout his tenure as president and i believe if the republicans led by donald trump follow through on their commitment we are on the cusp of a conservative generation. democrats bench is depleted. they have no leadership. barack obama has taken the party for a joyride in the last eight years and it has now broken down. this will

george w. bush and mitt romney. it is hard to say that trump is doing tremendous with women voters when he is polling lower than past republicans to raid this claim as false. by the way there are at least thing that republicans and democrats can agree on. >>> this year's election is stressing them out. the american psychological association says this long and contentious political season is beating americans up. many suffering from anxiety, nervousness and concern. stress by not binging on political news. >> tough not to bing on it. >> it is everywhere. >> and it is important. >> the tribe stressed me out and now the election. i was pacing around the newsroom. we have to wait until the end of tomorrow. thank goodness for the mets. >> i notice your forecast on news net 5 and stressing out about that. colder than warmer weather. >> yes and an isolated flurry coming our way by the end of the week. >> the s word, sunshine. >> yes. tomorrow a shower and by the end of the week snow. we have been tracking the sunsets. blue

numbers percentagewise voting for donald trump yesterday than they did for john mccain or romney or even george w. bush understood what was at stake. we go back to what marjorie said and ralph made reference to. the point at which donald trump close the deal with evangelicals was at the last debate in the first 15 minutes when he gave the most concise definition of late-term abortion than any republican or in the presence of candidate in the nomination in the general election has given. following stating he would appoint pro-life justices. we have not had republicans willing to do that fearing a litmus test. that was when the deal was close. that was when evangelicals working on it with the reality that they had a candidate who picked a pro-life running mate. unlike previous republican nominees did not fight conservatives over the -- we go back to mitt romney john mccain and the george bush campaign of 2045 conservatives over the platform. donald trump actually help us. they helped us formulate the most conservative party platform in the history of the department previous pledge to defend and p

george w. bush and mitt romney. that could try and guide him through and recommend him some names.ie: general slant-in is -- flynn's hyatt. he might be the national security advisor. list.at the top of the flynn is someone who is wearing. he clashed with the many people when he was in the obama administration. he has been at donald trump's during the campaign. if you are not close to him, it is tough to see how you don't have a top post. charlie: has the future of chris , the first person to endorse him during the primaries , has its dissented? has diminished. the new jersey governor was supposed to be a top player but there has been a slew of sorts and this has gone underreported. we are trying to flesh it out but all the christie people who are forming this transition, they have been elbowed out by jeff sessions and his allies. you're seeing the establishment republicans are now being replaced by some more popular -- populist conservatives. that is an important change to watch. charlie: sessions might need an important cabinet level job. it is going to be giuliani and sessions wh

he also talks about how he has differences with republicans like mitt romney, like mccain, like george bush. but that's not the problem for trump, that he's simply unfit for the presidency which was really the opening salvo in hillary clinton's first message when the general election commenced. >> he said he never feared those men would be bad stewarded for -- stewards for the nation. nina, if it were up to you, where would you send the candidate? what would she say about the fbi director or should she move on? how much should she say about donald trump or should it be a totally positive message from here on out? something tells me it will take a turn for the dirty here shortly. >> my god, brian, it's been pretty dirty. >> but we have standards. >> yes, we do. unfortunately, as i said, we have gone as a country in this presidential election cycle from hope and change, which we saw the power and the magnetism radiating from a president that was the personification of hope and change to take it in the gutter in 2016. it is unfortunate. staying away from the fbi director these last five d

george bush or a mitt romney. had been uz or rubio elected, they expect him to act like that. if that's a solid assumption. you had donald trump talking spending, astructure typically it's been the position of the republican conference to any dollars spent needs be offset from spending elsewhere. that that can be difficult. you have -- everyone is talking obama care which is great. but now you have paul ryan medicare as well. not something that donald trump talked almost at all about campaign.e is he going to be willing to go long with paul ryan's long standing desire to remake programs.t and basically you can start working. keep we're going to be looking at ome serious fiscal debates and we don't know, donald trump says e's the king of debt, and he knows how to use debt. what does that mean? the an really look across board, and the unpredictability of donald trump is the reason the here and it also is reason that we don't know how this relationship is going to course of ms the or years. >> what do you hear from the of the policy committee. she and others willing to drive p th

we go back to mitt romney, john mccain, and even the george bush campaign, who fought conservatives over donald trump actually helped us. i was a delegate. they helped us form the most conservative party platform. he has pledged to defend, protect, and advanced religious liberty, to support justices that are pro-life, and has also brought close attention to how this administration has used our national military as a laboratory for social experimentation. he has said our military has one purpose only, not to advance some kind of social agenda, but rather to fight and win wars and keep america safe. if donald trump pursues the agenda that he campaigned on, he will not only be the candidate who enjoyed broad support, launching him into the white house from evangelicals, i believe he will have evangelical support throughout his tenure as president. republicans,the led by donald trump, follow-through on their commitments, we are on the cusp of a conservative generation. the democrat's bench is depleted. they have no leadership. barack obama has taken the party for a joyride in the last eight

george w. bush was winning regular voters. romney and obama came for a draw in places like indiana. even though we think of young voters says leaning to the left it's not always the case and as dramatic as what were seen now. many polls there doing polls with usa today, there tending to find donald trump winning only one every five winners. so george w. bush and al gore almost tied with the youth vote in 2000. by the time he gets a 2014 george w. bush is losing, that 2004, in 2008 you get a huge margin. john mccain still is a third of the youth vote. it's a historic blowout. yet republican candidates still think it one out of three. donald trump would be lucky to get one out of five. so another piece to the equation, we know that young voters are breaking away from trumpet how much will they turn out? this is a huge are known. i get asked a lot, young voters are very disappointed, they like third-party candidates, not one more than the other but overall you have only 40% of young voters that have a positive view of clinton which is not a positive election for a lot of young people.

romney would have a lot of influence. i think he would be like colin powell under george w.bush because he's out of step where they want to go on foreign policy. >> the benefit with something like that, even the benefit of having this meeting for donald trump is, it does -- to peter's point, it makes those who don't like donald trump at least feel, well, there are more establishment figures or people with experience in the room who are being considered, whether or not they're going to get the job. >> i think it sends a very important message. there you few people who fought the romney candidacy as hard as mitt romney did. there was tremendous moral leadership from the mormon community in general. let's remember a few weeks after losing to barack obama, mitt romney went and met with barack obama. the mitt romney i know is a guy who is a great patriot. he will put the country's interests above his own. i am not surprised at all to see him go meet with donald trump. a man who i still think he has probably very little in common with, in hopes of influencing him for the better. i

romney and romney has not said anything about the man who could soon become his boss when he becomes the leader of the free world since their initial meeting last week. megyn? >> thank you. john george is very fancy. it is true. our next guest warns that a secretary romney would leave mr. trump's supporters feel betrayed, suggesting that president-elect trump should get up every day and begin by looking at his campaign promises. he owes his presidency to the people who believed in him. not for the ones that had contempt for his as a candidate but now adoor him now that he's going to be president. you call this potential appointment of mitt romney as secretary of state a huge mistake and even outrageous. to those who say all right, you know, donald trump knows what he's doing, this could be a counter balance to some of the more, you know, hard liners in the administration he's creating, how do you justify those comments? >> well, first of all, president-elect trump can pick anyone he wants. he's going to be president. if he picks romney, i'll support him because he has the right to build a cabinet he wants to have. but as long as we're discussing the possibility, i think it's a disas

and just moments ago, donald trump and mitt romney wrapped up their dinner at new york's jean george aurant. listen to what a gracious romney had to say. >> i had a wonderful evening with president-elect trump. we have another discussion about affairs throughout the
