Mitt Romney announces bid for U.S. Senate in Utah
NBC News ^ | February 16, 2018 | Adam Edelman

Mitt Romney, the GOP’s presidential candidate in 2012 and a former governor of Massachusetts, announced Friday that he would run for U.S. Senate in Utah.

“I have decided to run for United States Senate because I believe I can help bring Utah’s values and Utah’s lessons to Washington,” Romney said in a video announcing his bid.

“Given all that America faces, we feel that this is the right time for me to serve our state and our country,” he said.

Romney pointed to Utah's balanced budget and trade surplus as examples of the state's strengths, comparing them with Washington's debt and trade deficit.

“Utah has a lot to teach the politicians in Washington,” Romney said.

Senator for life from Utah.

Another primadonna to replace the ailing one.

Romney replacing Hatch is a step backwards.
The Cheap Labor Express does not want to lose any Amnesty Senators.

In AZ they are using Joe Arpaio’s ego to sneak McSally past Kelli Ward, who is why Flake is quitting.
The want to keep two Amnesty Senators in AZ.

Heller needs to be Cantorized in the primary in NV.

TN might have a chance of improving the citizens representation.

Most of the GOP Senators side with illegal aliens and their employers.

There aren’t any decent primary opponents in Utah to take this fraud on? He is a pathetic loser.

If the GOP wants to retain their majority with candidates like Mitt then they can do so without my vote or monetary support.

Just yesterday, Mr. “Flip FLop” RomneyCARE
swore that he was “delaying his announcement”
out of alleged respect for the victims.

THAT did not last one day for ol’ backstabbing “Flip Flop”
.

Yes, will never vote for Heller here in Nevada.

Lots of scheming by pro-amnesty republicans. Trump needs to get ahead of this and start nurturing a new generation of Republicans to run and win office.

It’s Utah, and he’s a Mormon bishop. He will probably win Utah.

No. He’ll take it in a walk. That association ought to do a before and after Bishop Willard comparison to see others regard them.

“Romney pointed to Utah’s balanced budget and trade surplus as examples of the state’s strengths, comparing them with Washington’s debt and trade deficit.”

I remember in the first debate with Obama, Romney said that he didn’t want to reduce spending for education.

Taxachusetts importation should work so well for Utah. Like his buddy Obunga, Romney hopes to bring change to Utah.

It’s Utah, and he’s a Mormon bishop. He will probably win Utah.

But if the voters who comprise the Republican base stay home, as they did in Alabama last December, the Democrats could pick up this seat. The same thing could happen in Arizona if McSally is the nominee.

I’d say it’s a lost cause. I’ll never understand Hillary morphing into a NY senator. I figured the people in NY were hopelessly brainwashed by liberalism.

What’s that say about Utah?
