Mitt Romney: Democrats bungled and botched 2024

Retiring Utah Sen. Mitt Romney said he was astonished how badly Democrats misread the electorate in the 2024 elections.
Speaking in a wide-ranging interview that aired Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Romney said, “I look at this last election. Uh, I shake my head as I look at our Democrat friends. How could they have so badly misread the public mood?”
He saw trouble ahead for the Democratic Party.
“Look, the Republican Party has become the party of the working class, middle class voter, and you’ve got to give Donald Trump credit for having done that,” he told host Jake Tapper. “Taking that away from the Democrats.”
Romney has been one of the Republicans most critical of Trump over the last decade. Speaking to Tapper, Romney declined to say who he voted for this year for president.
“There’s a wonderful thing we have in this country,” he told Tapper, “which is the secret ballot. So I’m not telling you who I voted for in 2024.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Maybe Romney wants to show he is not quite as low class of turd-bird as Liz Cheney. Maybe he is even hinting that he might have voted for Trump in the Tapper interview. Who knows?

They were just following Willard's lead.

I agree they had the worst possible candidates and ran a bad campaign. It was close enough that they had a shot with better candidates if the votes they did get were real.

I think Romney is torn. He knows that Trump is better for the economy. But on other issues he disagrees with Trump.

Well he bungled 2012 and could have beaten Obama if he had not run such a bad campaign. Do I not remember he took a vacation right in the middle of the campaign????????????

How about 2012? It's a safe bet that you didn't vote for the Republican candidate in that race either.
