Well, while it might have been nice for Mitt Romney to have potentially snagged this spot, it seems Trump is likely to pick another– Someone the left will have no problem lambasting the president-elect for picking.

Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson, another big business, big oil man, is now who Trump seems to be courting.
According to Reuters:
Exxon chief Rex Tillerson emerged on Friday as Trump’s leading candidate for U.S. secretary of state and met with him Saturday morning, a transition official told Reuters.

As Exxon’s CEO, Tillerson oversees operations in more than 50 countries, including Russia.
