Summary
Mitt Romney acknowledged that Trump’s MAGA agenda now fully dominates the Republican Party, stating in a CNN interview that traditional conservatism has been overtaken.
Romney, a frequent Trump critic, admitted he was wrong about Trump losing in 2024 and predicted MAGA’s influence would extend into 2028 with figures like JD Vance.
Romney argued the GOP’s appeal to working-class voters has shifted the political landscape, while criticizing Democrats for focusing on cultural issues over economic concerns.
He claims this focus cost Democrats key demographics in the recent election.
They’re already coming out of the woodwork online to claim Trump never promised to bring down grocery prices. It was never about economic issues. They will say whatever to justify taking power. Romney can eat shit for enabling them.
It was about economic issues for many voters. They wanted to believe a lie more than the hard truth.
