Speaking of Bowing and Scraping, That Was EXACTLY, PRECISELY What Former Republican Party Presidential Hopeful Mitt Romney EFFECTIVELY DID When He Flew Into Washington D.C. For A Private Audience With Then President-Elect Trump As The Latter (Theoretically) Scouted For A Potential Secretary Of State...A Sad Taking Down Of Someone (As Trump Played Him For A Sucker) Who Had Been The Most Courageous And Given The Most Unashamed Public Rebuke Of 'The Donald' Around The Very Time DJT Was Building Quite Unassailable Momentum To Take The Republican Party's Presidential Nomination...

Yet one would have to suppose that someone of Romney's longstanding political acumen knew that this was precisely, exactly what Trump was doing/had in mind, and as my brother I believe suggested, felt it nevertheless his duty to his fellow Americans to offer himself for service whether (seen to be) taken for a fool or otherwise, and arguably that is a noble thing, being willing to be thought a fool despite intending only the very best by his fellow Americans...

...i.e. to serve them in an honourable and noble, self-sacrificing way, the diametrical opposite of the way the present incumbent has ever publicly conducted himself whether inside or outside the Oval Office...
