Republican Sens. Orrin Hatch (Utah) and Dean Heller (Nev.) are throwing their support behind former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush ahead of an event in Reno, Nev., on Wednesday.

"Our nation is at a crossroads. It is in dire need of a proven leader. That leader is Jeb Bush,” Heller said in a statement to the Reno Gazette-Journal. “The nation needs the pragmatic, conservative, principled leadership that only Jeb provides. And Jeb understands why Nevada is important when appealing to the majority of American voters."

Sigh. And the disappointment with heller continues. Looks like the gopE is doin' what it does best. Foot shootin' like it feels good.

Hatch used to be a conservative. Now he’s a Chamber of Congress lap dog.

Both need to be put out to pasture, like yesterday. What are the differences between Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush anyway?

Jeb is not quite as enthused about slaughtering the unborn as Hillary. Hillary is not quite as enthused about turning America into Northern Mexico as Jeb.

Sadly, I remember when Hatch was first elected to the U.S. Senate. He was a firebrand much like Ted Cruz today. He was that way during the Reagan years and begin going downhill shortly thereafter.

Orrin, Orrin, Orrin.

It’s time to retire and become a volunteer worker in the Salt Lake temple. You were once a conservative.

jbush’s sole argument now is that he has 110 million dollars. that is it.

If the other candidates have a prayer of being viable they need to keep jbush down.

Of course they do! Surprise to find no John Cornyn name listed. Was it erased? What ‘statesmen’ (S/O) these MEN are. They love their country so very much. Don’t you guys? However, they love their pocketbook even more and wish to see it bulging before they are sent out to pasture.

This is NOT news. It was expected.

I am old enough to remember when Hatch was a conservative Republican and endorsed guys like Reagan & Laxalt for president.
