Romney Meets with Trumphttps://politicalwire.com/2016/11/19/romney-meets-trump/
"SNIP............
Donald Trump met with Mitt Romney, once a fierce critic of the president-elect who is now being floated as a potential pick for secretary of state, on Saturday afternoon, setting aside the friction between the two men and signaling a willingness by Trump to entertain different points of view on foreign policy, the Washington Post reports.
Romney said the men had a very thorough and in-depth discussion regarding the various theaters in the world where there are interests of the United States of real significance.
Trump said of the meeting: It went great.
Politico: Romney and Trump talked for roughly an hour and 20 minutes, and the two emerged to talk briefly with reporters.
..............SNIP"
Check out the video of Romney going in to meet Trump and coming out. When he goes in he leans in to Trump to shake his hand. When he comes out he hangs back as they shake hands. I'm guessing Romney was frightened a bit after talking to Trump for more than an hour.

Remember when Romney dissing the London Olympics was a faux pas discussed for days?

I'll look for video of Romney leaving.

It a subtle difference. Romney does have a poker face. But I don't think he was much into Trump as he left.

is playing the Omarosa role in this presidency.
