Mitt Romney: ‘I Represent a Small Wing of the Party ... I Call It the Wise Wing of the Republican Party’

EXCERPT:

ROMNEY: “Well, there’s no question that the Republican Party today is in the shadow of Donald Trump. He is the leader of the greatest portion of the Republican Party. It’s a populist, I believe, demagogue portion of the party. Look, I represent a small wing of the party. If you will, I call it the wise wing of the Republican Party. And I don’t believe we’re going away. I think ultimately we’ll see a resurgence and come back into leadership of the party. Look, my wing of the party talks about policy and about issues that will make a difference to the lives of the American people. The Trump wing of the party talks about resentments of various kind and getting even and settling scores and revisiting the 2020 election. What are the policies for the future? And my party is only going to be successful getting young people to vote for us if we’re talking about the future. And that’s not happening so far in that other wing.”
