DANA MILBANK: Why America needs Mitt Romney
Meridianstar.com ^ | 12/30/17 | Dana Milbank

Mitt Romney: Your country needs you.

The 2012 Republican presidential nominee has been reluctant to announce a primary challenge to Sen. Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, the longest-serving Republican senator in history. But America needs Romney to step up, to restore dignity to the Senate -- and to save the country from the embarrassment Hatch has become.

Hatch, long the picture of conservative rectitude, was once a conscientious legislator, even partnering with Ted Kennedy when he thought poor kids were getting a raw deal. But Hatch, the Senate president pro tempore, has undergone a grotesque transformation this year, his 84th on earth and 42nd in the Senate. He has become chief enabler of and cheerleader for President Trump.

McCain is dying, and Flake and Corker are leaving. Collins and Murkowski were talked into voting for the tax bill/to repeal Obama care.

The media are desperate to get an anti-Trump liberal republican into the Senate, from a conservative state no less.

I can't stand Hatch. Once safely re-elected he'll go back to being a moderate, but he'll vote better than Romney.

Romney will be another McCain or Specter.

I don’t know about that. Right now I’m focused on more important things — like getting a bicycle for my fish.

Romneycare is McMuffin. I’ll take Hatch any day if that’s the choice. Yes, I’m in Utah, and I vote.

Does it really matter what Milbank thinks? He sounds like a leftist, so he should be treated as such.

What is it about Trump’s first year that wasn’t true to his campaign promises? We finally got a POTUS that keeps his word.

She wants a back stabbing Democrat operative to take his place. She wants the backstabbing bitch who called a press conference when Trump was campaigning and proceeded to rant for 15 minutes against Trump, calling him a fraud..How is that “fraud” working out now Mutt? Not even one year in office and already he’s done more for the country than the past 4 Presidents combined.

Wonder if Milbank realizes that Fusion GPS wasn’t just used to go after Trump, it was used against Mitt Romney’s donors as well, and who knows who else they have “dossiers” on.

Hmmm... Dana Milbank.

Now we've heard of him, and we know what his true colors are.

“Romneycare is McMuffin. I’ll take Hatch any day if that’s the choice. Yes, I’m in Utah, and I vote.”

The truth of the matter is that if the Mormon Church really stands for its principles and its “Articles of Faith,” then Mitt Romney warrants excommunication along with his RAT buddy Harry Reid. You may be in Utah and you may vote, but with the exception of perhaps Salt Lake County, Utah votes Mormon, and if Hatch decides to get out, Romney WILL be the next Senator from Utah. I’d really like to see Hatch step down, given his age, but he’s the only thing between Romney and a Senate seat.
