When Mitt Romney announced his intended retirement from the U.S. Senate on Sept. 13, 2023, the Atlantic published an excerpt from his upcoming biography, in which the 2012 Republican presidential nominee told author McKay Coppins, “A very large portion of my party really doesn’t believe in the Constitution.”
This claim would have been startling 15 years ago. For decades, the Republican Party has been the party of conservatism and a champion for the Constitution.
Romney is clear that Donald Trump, who leads what he calls a “populist” and “demagogic” portion of the party, is to blame. And Romney is not the only concerned Republican.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, now running for the GOP presidential nomination, recently asked a crowd at a campaign event, “Will we be the party of conservatism, or will we follow the siren song of populism unmoored to conservative principles?”

Reagan wouldn’t recognize the USA in 2023.
Romney-—rommel?
Lol Reagan would support Trump’s America 1st Populism
“A nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation.”
― Ronald Reagan
Romney?
Reagan let them make him appoint Hw. So. Let’s just start there
And I remember quite well what most the media though of Reagan’s conservatism back in the day. Not long ago, I came across an archived article from about 1982 with David Gergen warning Reagan to the effect about more losses in the House and that it was time to “moderate” his approach.
Mitt Romney, Mike Pence...oh brother.
Yeah? Well, maybe if Reagan had MAGAed harder we would have been better off.
Reagan would be have loved MAGA.

Article is the biggest pile of tripe I’ve seen in a long time.
More hogwash. Yeah, we have to “save democracy”.
Any mention in the article about Democrats and fedzilla trying to force the experimental clot shot at the expense of your job and livelihood?
Any mention in the article about Democrats mandating what health insurance you must buy under penalty of law?
Any mention of the clearly visible tow-tier justice system?
Any mention of the political persecution of Donald Trump or all the J6 defendants who are currently political prisoners?
Yeah, a garbage propaganda article designed to fit the corrupt Deep State’s narrative. Nothing more.
Reagan made a lot of mistakes.
#1 mistake was amnesty.
The left always show you whom they fear the most. Evidently right now the one they fear most is Donald John Trump.
Reagan was deeply suspicious about international interventionism
Bush 1 talked him into sending troops to Lebanon which was one of Reagan’s big errors
Trump is a repudiation of the 30 year corruption of the GOP by the Bush family away from Reagan style America 1st populism to Democrat lite interventionism.
The definition of insanity is to continue using old tactics, when new tactics are in use.
Mitt Romney wouldn’t know conservatism if it ran up and kicked him in the nuts.
Neither Romney or Pence is worth listening to. If either one announced that today is Wednesday, Oct. 4th, I’d have to check because both of them are liars, unworthy of our trust.
