I guess I would too, but all that really means is Romney is not, as near as I can tell, a neo-Nazi.

Romney knows some things about making money, but doing so in pretty sketchy ways. The difference between both these men born with silver spoons in their mouths is Romney went to a good finishing school and learned how to make cogent and inoffensive remarks at a dinner party, well 47% of the time anyway. Trump thought, "Learn manners? Why? I'm rich, *****! I've got fuckyoumoney, so **** you!"

Donnie offends Mitt, because he wants to be one of the pussygrabbing guys. Of course, Trump will never be one of the guys, but many of the guys like the idea that super rich Trump is a regular guy just like them - it feeds the fantasy that tomorrow I will be a pussygrabbing millionaire too!

Mitt offends Donnie because he believes the rich are better not by virtue of their wealth, but by virtue of their "class" and decorum. Trump couldn't charm a $5 hooker, and every time Mitt flashes the ol' Romney charm it just pisses Don off because he knows that all that matters is what's in your wallet. He has no social skills and no respect for those like Romney who worked hard to refine their own.

Now if you assume that secretary of state is nothing more than an empty suit who needs to know his way around the silverware at state dinners, look good in photos shaking hands, and not end up on page 3 of the Enquirer with Johnny Manziel in a hot tub full of hookers, then yeah, Mitt has mad skills.

If you think secretary of state should know something about global politics, diplomacy, and negotiating mutually beneficial agreements, I doubt Mitt has the right stuff. But hey, he's apparently not a Klansman and this makes him a really great choice for Trump. Really, bigly great.
