Good line. I don’t agree with the idea Hatch was a good senator. He tripped us on the road to decent policy too many times over the years.

Hatch was NOT a good Senator.....

He's a Mormon hypocrite and a go along to get along GOPe pos....that basically let the left take over....during his time...in Washington.

I've very little to say positive about his tenure in Washington, D.C....

Name me something the guy said...and better yet did...besides taking his check...and running home to run again..for freaking 30-40 years!!

“Why do the damn baby boomers want to screw up the country forever.”

Trump is a baby boomer. It is not Romney’s boomerism that makes him what he is, it is the same thirst and ambition for power that is common to mankind.

Obama is certainly not a baby boomer.

There is no chance that Utah will elect a Democratic Senator.

Just like in Alabama? - although after he signed my year book Mitt tried to take advantage of me 40 years ago.

Wasn't a huge fan of Orin but damn Mitt its a Twitt and a traitor. Remember him working on his cars with less than a month out from the election in 2012?

Romney, Bush, Ryan are why I don't consider myself a Republican, oh and cromnibus.

He voted for the conservative judges Trump appointed. That's going to have an effect for years to come.

The focus is always on when politicians don't vote with their party or ideological movement, and they're either glorified or vilified for that.

Most of the time, they vote with the party and that's their contribution.

“Gift to Mitt.”

Mormon Mafia. Hatch wanted to run again.
They pressured him out for something ‘big.’

Mitt plans to primary President Trump.

He’ll fail, but he’s used to that.

This forces us to remember that we didnt elect Trump
God elected Trump and He has a plan.

LDS members were ordered to support Hillary. A couple of conservative LDS friends told me. I was shocked they voted for Hillary.

Someone got some kind of brain washing thing going on?

At least, Hatch stood up strong to advance President Trump’s Tax Bill.
I loved how he eviscerated Ohio RAT Senator Sharrod Brown during one of the conference sessions.

Do you really think Senator Mittens will be an improvement over Hatch??

Granted, the history you cite is noteworthy, but I’d take another six years of Hatch any day, given the choice.

Mitt plans to primary President Trump.

It's possible, I guess, but he's already seventy.

He won't win and would damage the party.

A lot depends on whether anybody gets in there first.

If somebody else beats Mitt to the punch, Romney probably won't run.

I have a hard time believing those ACU scores.

Hatch was a 62, and Mike Lee a 100? I don’t see it

Lee, along with his partner in crime Rubio, was responsible for increasing the child tax credit for people who pay no federal income tax

Love has been a frequent critic of Trump. Huntsman endorsed him

We need people in the senate who will not work to undermine Trumps agenda

Romney has four principal residences - Belmont MA, Wolfeboro NH, San Diego CA and Holliday UT.

I don’t know that he can be said to “live” anywhere - although I did run into him at the Wolfeboro town dump at the end of summer 2015 dumping a bunch of cardboard.

I consider Trump a Gen X’er. :-). Obama is DEFINITELY a boomer. He was born in 1961, boomers finally stop at 1965.
