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.

    Right. Romney is stuck in the past with his criticisms. It’s the right that needs these talking points to be true all the time, and they force it even when it’s just them talking about it. Democrats do need to do differently, but not like how Romney is calling it. It’s just so disgusting.
