A simple line in the Constitution allows Congress to convene a rewrite session if two-thirds of state legislatures have called for one.

"If you were to ask me who the nominee will be in 2028 I think it'd be JD, Vance," Romney said. "He's smart, well-spoken, part of the MAGA movement." "The Republican Party has become the party of the working class, middle class voter, and you got to give Donald Trump credit for having done that and taken that away from the Democrats," he said. read more

Just going to link to something I posted shortly after the election:
Democrats Join 2024's Graveyard of Incumbents
The incumbents in every single one of the 10 major countries that have been tracked by the ParlGov global research project and held national elections in 2024 were given a kicking by voters. This is the first time this has ever happened in almost 120 years of records. The cause? Inflation.
Dems actually did far better than governing parties in almost every other nation.

Romney faults Democrats, rather than crediting Republicans, for working-class voters supporting Trump over Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris, and criticizes progressives for getting behind "absolutely nutty stuff." That includes the "defund the police" movement, an "open borders" immigration policy and "biological males competing in girls sports." "That drove a lot of working families and minorities out of the Democratic Party," Romney said.
"The Republican Party is now the party of working-class Americans. It used to be Democrats, all the time I've been alive it was Democrats." But he seemed skeptical that Republicans could hold that base, criticizing GOP policies that "don't necessarily line up" with the working class. The party's reluctance to raise the minimum wage or support labor unions could give Democrats an opportunity to realign, Romney said.

Sure I do. But helping put Republicans into office seems like an unwise strategy.
Seems preferable to primary Dems into the party you desire. Like the Tea Party and MAGAts have, chasing every reasonable and sane moderating voice out of the GOP. And now they have the SCOTUS of their dreams (also happens to be the SCOTUS of the nightmares of the next three generations).
