Summary

It's hard to believe that a little over a decade ago Mitt Romney was the standard bearer of the Republican Party. Now, the retiring Senator is considering leaving the Party he once led altogether. In the new biography, Romney: A Reckoning, author McKay Coppins, uncovers all we ever wanted to know about Romney, his thoughts on his colleagues, Trump and more. In this episode of #democracyish Waj and Danielle chat with Coppins and ask "is Romney the last Republican?"
