Trump makes Mitt Romney grovel for secretary of state . 
Mitt Romney
Choosing Mitt Romney to be his secretary of state would be the most presidential thing Donald Trump could do . 
One part of him thinks that Romney , the CEO of the global firm Bain Capital , a turnaround artist who saved the Salt Lake City Olympics , and the party 's nominee in 2012 , would have the stature and gravitas for the job . 
He liked that Romney made a warm , congratulatory call . 
He complimented Romney for "looking the part ." 
Unlike Romney , they do n't come as supplicants , vying for his favor . 
OK , but Romney dissed Trump bigly and Trump 's nonpresidential side likes nothing better than getting even , and then some . 
While Gen. David Petraeus , General John Kelly and Sen. Bob Corker came and went , Romney got the only invitation to a fancy dinner at the Trump International Hotel . 
John Angelillo , Bloomberg President-elect Donald Trump and Mitt Romney had dinner , along with Reince Priebus , to discuss the possibility of Romney joining Trump 's administration on Nov. 30 , 2016 . 
President-elect Donald Trump and Mitt Romney had dinner , along with Reince Priebus , to discuss the possibility of Romney joining Trump 's administration on Nov. 30 , 2016 . 
Romney ordered scallops and then ate crow for reporters waiting outside right after , which may have been Trump 's plan . 
Aides said Romney would have to grovel to be considered and so he did , gushing over the man who had derided him as a "loser" who "choked like a dog" in his 2012 campaign . 
Romney said that by getting elected Trump "did something I tried to do and was unsuccessful in ," and that the president-elect could be "the very man who can lead us to that better future ." 
About watching Romney recant and twist slowly in the wind , former Speaker Newt Gingrich said , "You have never , ever , in your career seen a wealthy adult who is independent , has been a presidential candidate , suck up at the rate that Mitt Romney is sucking up ," adding that "Every day they let this thing hang out there it becomes harder and more expensive to pick Romney ."
