"WHATEVER YOU SAY, SIR."

I can see why a man might compromise his principles if he needed a job that allowed him to feed and care for his family. Naturally Bob Cratchit had to scrape and bow to Scrooge if he wanted his family to have a warm home and food on the table. And while I can't condone it, I can see why men with no principles at all ally themselves to powerful autocrats in order to enjoy some of their reflected glory. Obviously an obsequious cipher like Rudy Giuliani can't survive outside of at least a glimmer of limelight. And who can blame Kellyann Conley for being a sycophant to Donald Trump? I'm sure it pays well and her hillbilly harridan appearance won't put any sexual pressures on her. What I can't understand is why a multi-millionaire like Mitt Romney, who was so critical of Trump during the election, is now willing to eat humble pie, kowtow, and—yes—kiss Trump's ass in order to become Secretary of State. He doesn't need the money. He claims to love the woman which this position will certain prevent him for seeing as often.  If his character is that weak, and his integrity so easily sold we should be as grateful that he never won the presidency as we are terrified that Trump did.
