George Shultz, Condoleezza Rice conspicuously silent on Trump

Shultz praised Romney at a May 2012 fundraiser at the 95-room Chateau Carolands in Hillsborough, where guests paid from $2,500 to $50,000 to attend. Who else was at Chateau that day? Rice. For her, endorsing Romney was about expressing not only her values but the country’s values.

“We have to defend the country, not just from (a position of) strength and power, but from a sense of values of who we are,” Rice said that day. “Friends, who just want to know that when the chips are down, we are going to be there for them ... and that indeed we know the difference between friend and foe.”

“The president of the United States has to understand that the American people have a view,” Rice said, “and that our leadership cannot be (reduced to) the lowest common denominator positions.”

So given Rice’s silence on Trump, we can assume that she doesn’t think Trump has taken any “lowest common denominator positions.” And that they share the same “sense of values of who we are.”
