| Mitt Romney just proved his (and my) Republican Party is dead

Romney’s legacy is well-earned. But his brand of Republicanism has now failed.

Make no mistake: Romney’s view of the world is a conservative one, as is his ideology. But in the contest of ideas that once defined the relationship between our two major political parties, Romney has been respected both as an advocate and as an adversary. He has offered kindness amid vitriol, vision amid chaos and statesmanship amid pettiness.

But however noble his approach, Romney’s brand of Republicanism has now failed. And his decision to step down should serve as the latest wake-up call for those who still believe the GOP may one day return to traditional conservatism. It won’t. That Republican Party is gone forever. Mitt Romney knows that, and his announcement is simply one more nail in the coffin of a party that long ago passed away.
