Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said lunch with President Trump was “delightful” despite a history of clashing with the president that stretches back to the 2016 presidential primary.
Romney and Trump shook hands at the White House lunch Thursday, and Romney said there didn’t appear to be any signs of lingering tension between the two of them, even though Trump slammed the senator last month as a “pompous ass.”
Romney, for his part, blasted Trump last month for calling on China and Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden as "wrong and appalling

Let me be first. PDJT is very gracious, a characteristic known by all and acknowledged by few.

Romney said there didn’t appear to be any signs of lingering tension between the two of them Uh huh...That was for the cameras, trust me. If the impeachment goes to the Senate, you can be sure Romney's blade will be among the first to strike....or try to.

Not sure of the hidden message here, but 'delightful' is the English translation of 'delecto' (as in 'Pierre Delecto')

FTA: “There is a great deal of support for removing, if you will, the candy flavors. And while there may not be a lot of support for removing the menthol flavor, then I hope we can make progress on those places where there is general support,” Romney said.
This is fantastic. Vaping is the single most important issue in the lives of every single American. Every day, Americans are doing what they want in their private lives, and this has to stop. Thank Heaven we have men like Mitt Romney to stop them for us. Using to government ban things we want, so we can't have them anymore is exactly why men like Mitt Romney exist. It's just too bad that former smokers will still be able to get their hands on menthol vaping for the time being. But with Mitt Romney and office, I'm sure it's just a matter of time before he bans that too.
Mitt Romney: Man of Destiny.

Quick! Someone look for Mitt's high moral outrage! It seems to have gone missing in the excitement of being as close to the presidency as he's ever going to get.

There is something rather symbolic about Trump inviting Romney to the House Romney thought he should be living in but isn’t. Trump should have invited Hillary too.

Ha Ha! Ketchup on his Steak! So....My family puts Ketchup on Pot Roast, Fried Potatoes and Scrambled Eggs! We all have our favorite things we grew up with and we were happy to pass it on to the next generation! That said, I wouldn't trust Romney any farther than you could throw him...so to speak!

. . . And, it was later announced that Senator Romney will play James Comey in the upcoming made-for-TV drama on the Lifetime Channel.

Did he go as the junior Senator from Utah, or as citizen at large, "Pierre Delecto?"

The issue at hand is to curb the flavors in vaping pens. The right-leaning Hill has somehow focused on has-been Romney as if he mattered. What matters about vaping is that the deaths attributed to vaping have all included over using marijuana.

My, my, so now we see Pierre Delecto trying to make nice with the President. Too, late, PD. Your career in politics is long since gone, pal. The President will be quite fine without you.

President Trump is a patriot who loves this country and is known to be a gracious host while Romney, on the other hand, is a duplicitous, back stabbing snake, perfectly suited to life in the swamp.
Why doesn't he just change his party affiliation to democrat and stop pretending.

Is Bill Weld still "running"? Then Mitt is still in the shadows. You bet vaping is an important "health issue" to those "conservatives" and "moderates" Pierre will appeal to if the opportunity presents itself. But first, Trump's poll numbers need to tank...and they're rising despite the "impeachment inquiry".

President Trump is courting Romney for his senate vote and most likely offered Romney a favor or two. Trump is playing Quid Pro Quo Washington DC style. We'll see how he votes. If he votes against Trump he's totally finished with the Republican party.

Pierre Delecto using the word 'delightful' is the equivalent of a Texan saying 'bless his heart' it's meant to be an insult. Screw Romney.

Well Peter Tasty seems to be weakening in the knees and dropping down. Which is his favorite position. I hope the served humble pie for desert and that Peter T. McRombamaney had seconds.

And yet, Romney would slip a shiv into Trump's back on a moment's notice and enjoy the process.

To quote from one of my favorites; "Your father did business with Hymen Roth, and your father respected Hymen Roth but your father never trusted Hymen Roth" In this case Rmoney is Hymen and Trump may respect him and do business with him but I am pretty sure he will never really trust him. And rightly so. The man may be smart but he is not to be trusted by the President or the rest of us and those in Utah should be looking for a replacement next time around.

In my 71 years on this planet, I have a long list of things I regret doing and wish to have a do-over but at the top of that list, number 1 is voting for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

Perhaps Mitt seemed unusually docile because The Donald showed Mitt an envelope containing a number of...uh...well...interesting photos. One never knows.

Agree with #13, catsup, ketchup, whatever on a steak is fine. Made deep-fried, beer-battered, fresh-caught Alaskan halibut; visiting relative poured catsup on it (copious amount). Let folks eat what they wish, as long as I'm not having to be right by them while they're enjoying it if it's something really gnarly, such as fermented fish heads. As other posters have said, it doesn't matter what our President does or doesn't do, the left will find fault.
