Malkin: The Desperate Bleatings of Orrin Hack

What is the matter with people in Nevada and Utah? Why couldn’t they find anyone to vote for but fossils like Reid and Hatch for the past 40 years? We desperately need term limits because voters have no brains.

[Osage Orange]

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???

DING, DING, DING...WE HAVE A WINNER...CHICKEN DINNER!!!

[Theodore R.]

Citizens of UT strongly disagree with you. They are Orrin believers there and also most uninformed.

[jobim]

Well, wishing death is a bit harsh, but I'll just settle for calling him a
low energy fossil fool.

[FreeReign]

The appeal-to-people-across-the-board meme is now going strong as the GOPe and Trump join forces.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

He is now known as “Boring Hack”. The poster boy for term limits.

[Osage Orange]

We desperately need term limits because voters have no brains.

Exactly....we term limit the POTUS...it's beyond time to TERM LIMIT all of Congress!!

[roamer_1]

Believe it or not, he was a firebrand constitutional conservative not so different from Ted Cruz.

That's right... Hope he retires soon... Those Utah Mormons will give us another real Conservative. It's almost a sure bet.

[FreeReign]

The reason all the senators don't want Cruz is if he becomes POTUS he gets to choose party leadership. You think Senator Mitch "Liar" McConnell will run the NRSC if Cruz is POTUS? 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???

It's the first of many deals.

"The same Orin Hatch Mark Levin endorsed for re-election."

If we look back at all the folks we thought were the good guys and stood behind that turned out to be back stabbing E-GOPer's and RINO Weasels and we invented a drinking game to take a shot of liquor to toast these Dweezil's one by one we would all be stone drunk on the floor.

It is a time of disillusionment....

if he gets elected I sure hope he picks conservative Supreme Court nominees. Someone told me that Thomas is his favorite, but I just don’t know. Being from New York City I have heard many of his very moderate quotes over the years

[Vigilanteman]

You did, but somehow my comment on the Belyway disease tranmongerfied into Belfast Disease.

I guess the comparison might be appropriate insofar as Belfast was once the epicenter of a war between Irish Protestants and Irish Catholics; the Beltway needs to become the epicenter of a war between the elites and the American people.

[patq]

Not a fan of Hatch, but Malkin is a dunce.

[Williams]

Get mad but I always liked Hatch and I like Cruz more. I never understood when it happened that conservatives turned on Hatch. I remember he is the one who got Clarence Thomas confirmed.

[Dogbert41]

If we lost the Senate again, what exactly would be different?

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[biff]

A diss by Hatch ought to be worth 5 points in Iowa. All these traditional republicans do not realize how much they are helping Cruz.

[Ouderkirk]

I don’t see how wither one Trump or Cruz could lose to Killery. I don’t believe the party nominee polls, at this point. It’s too far out to determine whether they are even close to accurate.

To me, Trump, Cruz, it makes no difference. I would be happy either way and I believe either one would trounce Killery.

[Theodore R.]

I don’t know if it was any one thing that turned many conservatives outside UT against Hatch. Wasn’t it Specter and Danforth that saved the Thomas nomination?

I remember Hatch in the summer of 1998 on a talk show “begging” Mr. Bill to come clean on Monica Lewinsky! I thought he embarrassed himself.

[marktwain]

“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.”

Yes, I recall that Orin Hatch. He has changed his outlook enormously over the last 30 years.
