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.

Trump differs than most politicians with the exception being Reagan. Both were private sector people who went into government. Career politicians are the problem.
Like Reagan said, “I didn’t leave the Democrats, they left me.”
Depends on which Kennedy. Chappaquiddick Ted certainly would. In fact, he was the author of much of it, especially the "let the illegals in" version.
Reagan wouldn’t recognize the twisted current liberalism either.
BS. Reagan would be 100% on board with putting America First, destroying the Marxist deep state and calling out the lying fake news. 100%
Poor Liberal Democrat Yahoo and their friends....
They’re always astroturfing
They hated Reagan; you could tell from the mouth of Barbara Bush at her husband’s inauguration. And they would have been nowhere but for him, period. Reagan knew there were inalienable basic truths but there were also issues on which you changed as the times changed; witness the FDR Democrat and union chief who evolved into the two term conservative Governor and the best President of the past 63 years.

The article seems to imply that Mitt Romney is a conservative. False assertion. I think that the modern Republican Party can be divided as follows (with characteristic representatives):
Country Club/Rockefeller wing: Mitt Romney
Populist wing: Donald Trump
Conservative wing: Clarence Thomas
Reagan wouldn’t recognize what his country has become, either.
Trump is a moderate but that puts him to the far right to majority of elected republicans who are Neocons which are basically Trotskyites. Reagan was a great Republican president but would Calvin Coolidge recognize his style of conservatism? Probably not
Exactly.
We need to take lessons about conservative history from a college professor and ... Mitt Romney? Laughable.
Lol.....thx for the realtime bio of this chick.
You are correct. Yahoo is sewage.
This is exactly right. Reagan was a true “small government” conservative. One of his most famous sayings was, “The scariest thing you can hear is someone saying ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help’.”
Trump on the other hand, is a big believer in big government, he just wants to control it.
Reagan wouldn’t recognize the COUNTRY ffs, any more than WE do.
Look at her backround.
She’s Deep State’s.
Texas Democrat Sam Rayburn wouldn’t recognize much of anything.
Reagan would be impressed at how much restraint Trump had shown in foreign entanglements.
