Night of the Living Mitt — Wasinger: Trump Movement Should Make Romney Senate Defeat ‘Top Priority’

Big Government ^ | 9/19/17 | Robert Wasinger

How many decisive rejections can a veteran national political figure experience at the hands of voters before that politician takes the hint and walks off into the sunset with some small measure of dignity still intact?

Willard “Mitt” Romney seems intent on testing the limits of that proposition by floating the story with friends in the conservative media that he’s toying with the idea of running for the U.S. Senate seat of octogenarian Orrin Hatch of Utah, who is expected to announce his decision to decline a run for yet another term next year. Evidently, Romney’s last electoral humiliation—the embarrassing rout by a weakened and vulnerable President Obama in 2012—was not enough to convince him that his fellow citizens just aren’t that into him. Even after taking the helm of the good ship Never-Trump last year to ostentatiously and piously declare that Donald J. Trump was neither an authentic conservative nor fit for public office (rich coming from a guy who’s taken just about every position on every issue imaginable), Romney seems to think that the American public awaits his latest judgments on policy issues and political strategy with baited breath.

They manifestly don’t, and the fact that Romney continues to seek a leading role on the stage of public affairs after two solid decades of being spurned by the American public at the state and national level testifies to a messianic egotism that borders on full-blown psychosis…

Nothing can stop Romney from being elected in Utah. Its not a Trump friendly state and Romney is the most prominent Mormon in politics.

“Nothing can stop Romney from being elected in Utah. Its not a Trump friendly state and Romney is the most prominent Mormon in politics.”

Completely true! And because it’s the Mormons who will elect him, they will “make sure” that there’s no opposition in the primary.

[vette6387]

We should hope and pray that Hatch decides to take another term.

[Robert DeLong]

While all stated is true, it may not hold in Utah, home of the Mormons.

Great, another John McCain type pain in the ass for 20 years+

UGGHH! Gawd Mitt... Go Away...Go FAR away..Do not Pass Go and do NOT collect $200

[Arthur McGowan]

I always thought Romney was a wimp. But he convinced me he’s a bald-faced liar when he said Trump “inherited his business.”

I hear ya, but do Mormons? Most Mormons I have know I have not been impressed with. Now granted they are few, but they seem to think in group think.

[Elsie]

... with baited breath.

The early bird gets the worm.

[Diogenesis]

Bishop Romney and his Mormon flock have interfered
with more elections than the Russians.

[Skybird]

Mitt continues to swirl around and around, flush after flush...

[Elsie]

... they seem to think in group think.

NO!!!

In conclusion let us summarize this grand key, these “Fourteen Fundamentals in Following the Prophet”, for our salvation depends on them.

1. The prophet is the only man who speaks for the Lord in everything.
2. The living prophet is more vital to us than the standard works.
3. The living prophet is more important to us than a dead prophet.
4. The prophet will never lead the church astray.
5. The prophet is not required to have any particular earthly training or credentials to speak on any subject or act on any matter at any time.
6. The prophet does not have to say “Thus Saith the Lord,” to give us scripture.
7. The prophet tells us what we need to know, not always what we want to know.
8. The prophet is not limited by men’s reasoning.
9. The prophet can receive revelation on any matter, temporal or spiritual.
10. The prophet may advise on civic matters.
11. The two groups who have the greatest difficulty in following the prophet are the proud who are learned and the proud who are rich.
12. The prophet will not necessarily be popular with the world or the worldly.
13. The prophet and his counselors make up the First Presidency—the highest quorum in the Church.
14. The prophet and the presidency—the living prophet and the First Presidency—follow them and be blessed—reject them and suffer.

I testify that these fourteen fundamentals in following the living prophet are true. If we want to know how well we stand with the Lord then let us ask ourselves how well we stand with His mortal captain—how close do our lives harmonize with the Lord’s anointed—the living Prophet—President of the Church, and with the Quorum of the First Presidency.

The Amnesty Senators MUST GO in 2018

Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake.

If Hatch elects not to run, we MUST NOT elect Mitt Romney.
He would be worse than Hatch.

How hard is it to defeat this #NeverTRUMPer?

[TBP]

Romney will likely win. Who’s going to stop him? Even McMullin?

[Impy]

“They” couldn’t “make sure” Senator Bennett didn’t have challenger, and he lost.

If Hatch retires and Romney runs, he will have very serious opposition.

These Mormon conspiracy posts are bizarre to me. Most people, and politicians in the state are Mormons and they run against each other every election.

And the McMuffin rebellion couldn’t even beat SHillery for 2nd place.

The “top priority” btw should to be to defeat as many democrats as possible. McCrapskul;, Tester, Heitcamp, Manchin, Donnelly, Nelson, Casey Jr, Stabnewnow, The Dyke in WI, Klobacher, Kaine, Menendez, Udall
