Chaffetz: 'I Like a Lot' Of What Trump's Saying

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump's campaign is resonating with Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah).

"I like a lot of what he's saying" Chaffetz told UtahPolicy.com. "There are a lot of things that he says that I really do like, that I think other people should be talking about and how he does it is his own style."

Chaffetz, who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, said Trump's followers are "attracted to him for a variety of reasons - they want results, they want somebody who's going to blow through the red tape, who will actually get things done in Washington, D.C."

I think the GOPe may be deciding to try to triangulate with one of their remaining shill candidates.

Trump saw that before they thought it.

I don't know him, but he speaks the words of Americans

There are differences, but not so grievous (IMO) that would take Trump out of the front runner position because ...

Well .... We all like a lot of what he's saying


I don't think we've ever experienced such a coup since ... I don't KNOW when

You read my mind. I was about to post something about “how GOPe weasel is Chaffetz” - and it’ll show when he either endorses Heb or Marco McAmnesty.

Is he the one whose father was formerly married to the popular Kitty Dukakis?

“Chaffetz, who chairs the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform”......

Appears he hasn’t been doing much of a job “Reforming” government, the crooked bastards are still there.

Yeah but he’s seeing the Trump writing on the wall. Hopefully the rest of the GOPe will see and cross over too. We need to welcome them as the voters will soon sort them out anyway.

Video: Chaffetz endorses Rubio, will join him in campaigning

First Trey Gowdy, and now Jason Chaffetz. Marco Rubio seems to be gaining most of the endorsements from the newer vanguard of Congressional Republicans, and the endorsements stand in contrast to the lack of same for his colleague Ted Cruz. But will this help Rubio, or just not matter in a very unusual primary environment?
