Mitt Romney: I Look Forward to Being Able to Have a Trusted Relationship with the President

ROMNEY I look forward ░░░░░░░░ working with Republicans and ░░░░░░░░ Democrats working with the ░░░░░░░░ and members of the ░░░░░░░░ and the Senate We ░░░░░░░░ have some differences and ░░░░░░░░ expect that each senator ░░░░░░░░ each representative will express ░░░░░░░░ own views as they ░░░░░░░░ best But I m ░░░░░░░░ worried about what other ░░░░░░░░ think about what I ░░░░░░░░ to say I just ░░░░░░░░ to hear what they ░░░░░░░░ to say about their ░░░░░░░░ and perspective crosstalk I ░░░░░░░░ it s a good ░░░░░░░░ to lay out how ░░░░░░░░ are intending to work ░░░░░░░░ Washington as you begin ░░░░░░░░ people said you should ░░░░░░░░ waited a couple of ░░░░░░░░ or four months I ░░░░░░░░ not sure what makes ░░░░░░░░ one time versus another ░░░░░░░░ than to do your ░░░░░░░░ best from the beginning ░░░░░░░░ describe what s important ░░░░░░░░ you and then go ░░░░░░░░ work REPORTER 1 Senator ░░░░░░░░ said yesterday you re ░░░░░░░░ favor of the wall ░░░░░░░░ 2 The president endorsed ░░░░░░░░ and now you have ░░░░░░░░ this op ed How ░░░░░░░░ that not considered essentially ░░░░░░░░ shot in the back ░░░░░░░░ It s certainly an ░░░░░░░░ for us to work ░░░░░░░░ on things where we ░░░░░░░░ I actually said prior ░░░░░░░░ the primary in an ░░░░░░░░ ed that I wrote ░░░░░░░░ the Utah papers that ░░░░░░░░ would work with the ░░░░░░░░ on places where we ░░░░░░░░ and where we disagreed ░░░░░░░░ would point that out ░░░░░░░░ the president were to ░░░░░░░░ things that were divisive ░░░░░░░░ a significant nature that ░░░░░░░░ would call him out ░░░░░░░░ that and I have ░░░░░░░░ the way with regards ░░░░░░░░ Charlottesville attacks on the ░░░░░░░░ the Roy Moore endorsement ░░░░░░░░ Khashoggi approach I pointed ░░░░░░░░ places where we re ░░░░░░░░ and that s the ░░░░░░░░ nature of this representative ░░░░░░░░ which is when we ░░░░░░░░ we come together where ░░░░░░░░ are disagreements we express ░░░░░░░░ openly and honestly that ░░░░░░░░ people to have trust ░░░░░░░░ one another and I ░░░░░░░░ forward to being able ░░░░░░░░ have a trusted relationship ░░░░░░░░ the president and with ░░░░░░░░ despite differences from time ░░░░░░░░ time.” [crosstalk]
