If any other president-elect wined and dined his or her mortal enemy in a pageant-like search for a secretary of state, it’d be weird.

Despite successfully clowning one of his most prominent haters, Trump still didn’t get what he wanted out of his reconciliatory dinner with the former governor of Massachusetts: an apology.
Per CNN:
than a week after the two had begun talking, Trump raised the possibility of a public apology with Romney as a way of mollifying those critics, the sources said. He asked Romney to say publicly he was ‘wrong’ about Trump
Trump personally saw it in business deal terms: He would get the mea culpa he sought from Romney; Romney would get the job he covets.
