Mitt Romney Admits MAGA Is Now the Republican Party

Mitt Romney has admitted defeat ahead of him leaving office in January.  

During an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, he stated that since Trump won the election "overwhelmingly," he should be given the opportunity to implement his policies, and that people "can’t complain" about Trump’s Cabinet picks.

“Donald Trump won. He won overwhelmingly. He said what he was going to do, and that’s what he’s doing. I mean, people are saying, ‘oh, I don’t like this appointment or this policy that he’s talking about,’” Romney said. “But those are the things he said he was going to do when he ran. So you can’t complain about someone who does what he said he was going to do.”

“And I agree with him on a lot of policy fronts. I disagree with him on some things. But it’s like, OK, give him a chance to do what he said he’s going to do and see how it works out,” the GOP senator added.

When asked about his thoughts on Trump’s Cabinet selections, Romney acknowledged that they were not his choices but pointed out that he lost the 2012 presidential election while Trump won.

“Well, a very famous book talked about Abraham Lincoln choosing a team of rivals. This is a team of people who are very, very different, extraordinarily different backgrounds, different perspectives on issues, in some cases, I think even than the president, so an unusual collection of individuals, not the people I would have chosen,” Romney said.

“But I lost. He won, all right? I would like to revisit that and win, but I didn’t get that chance. And so these are the kind of people he wants to run. And he’s entitled to that,” he added.
