So, Big Government and the Open-Borders Lobby's best friend, Sen. Orrin Hatch took to CNN today to trash GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz:
"I think we'll lose if he's our nominee," said Orrin Hatch, the most senior Republican in the Senate.
"There's a lot of people who don't feel he can appeal to people across the board," Hatch said. "For us to win, we have to appeal the moderates and independents. We can't just act like that only one point of view is the only way to go. That's where Ted is going to have some trouble."
Let me be polite here: Go blow it out your ear, Sen. Hack. Er, Hatch.
I'll say it again: Seven-term incumbent Hatch embodies everything that's wrong with the GOP brand. He's a mascot for the Big Government Republican parade and masquerade of career politicians who stand for nothing and roll over for everything.
D.C.'s GOP establishment can't stand the idea of a conservative presidential candidate who would actually pay more than election-year lip service to conservative principles. That's why so many entrenched GOP Senators are pulling out all the stops to trash their colleague. Sen. Cruz is a stiff antidote to the Beltway-itis that has metastasized in the GOP halls of power.

can’t wait for this fossil to die - and i live in utah
At least the turd never made it to the Supreme Court, where he could do his best Roberts/Souter imitation.
HELLO!!!!!
HE BEAT HILLARY ONE TO ONE. TRUMP DOESN’T.
THE SAME POLLSTERS WHO SAY TRUMP IS CRUSHING CRUZ SHOWS THOSE RESULTS ALSO!!!
Good Lord!! does the truth matter here?
i like trump, he’s a hometown boy, but he is the ONLY repub losing to her.
i’m sure he could make up the two points deficit as she is incredibly annoying and he is shrewd.
but as things stand now, it is a fallacy that ted loses to her
dont know what rumor started it or if people just close their eyes to those polls and pick the ones they like
Shut your Hatch you pathetic excuse for a human.
Well, Hatch...He’s already appealed to more people than any other candidate except Trump....
Yeh Orrin has been polluting the punchbowl for a long time.
Good grief, is he still alive
Who’s getting girls for Orrin since Teddy K died?
Sad to recall the Orin Hatch first elected to the U.S. Senate. Believe it or not, he was a firebrand constitutional conservative not so different from Ted Cruz.
The Belfast disease is deadly contagious!
The establishment is using a single prong approach with dual motives . They trash Cruz and endorse Trump to try to taint Trump amongst his supporters . It’s their last gasp and it won’t work
The same Orin Hatch Mark Levin endorsed for re-election.
Mark Levin supported his reelection.
And I'd guess he might admit it...
Too late. We tried to tell him he was wrong at the time.
... but as things stand now, it is a fallacy that ted loses to her.
Started by the uniparty/MSM as they always do. Trumpees believe it or at least say they do.
But then they also believe donnie will appoint conservative federal and SC justices, that he is really going to round up and deport all illegals and don’t remember the part where he said he would fast track them back in, that he will make good deals with congress... Lolol.
However, the GOPe is awfully friendly to Trump lately. I wonder if the deal maker has cut a deal with McConnell and the gang to keep leadership???
I remember in 1976 how Orrin Grant Hatch, a PA native, was considered a very strong conservative when he upset UT Democrat Senator Frank Moss. Nothing ever stays the same, it seems.
Orin.....you wish you were half the man Cruz is....
Sorry, I just repeated your idea a new notches down.
