Mitt Romney on today's GOP: "I don't really have a home in my party."
In an interview with CBS News, Mitt Romney said what so many of us have been saying in the last 8 years.
NORAH O'DONNELL: "You were once the party's nominee, and now you're a pariah in the Republican Party."
Mitt Romney: "Yeah, that's, that's saying it in a gentle way, yeah. I mean, yeah, no question. I don't really have a home in my party … I come from a tradition of, you know, Ronald Reagan, and George Herbert Walker Bush, and George W. Bush, and John McCain. … Those are the people that have shaped our party: anti-Putin, anti-Russia, anti-authoritarians, anti-Kim Jong Un, very strong on foreign policy, involved in the world because it's in America's interest, character counts, that the character of our leaders makes a difference and it shapes the character of our country. That's the party I've come from. And I don't recognize that in the great majority of our party today. And that, for me, is very troubling."
We didn't leave the GOP. The GOP left us.
