Mitt Romney planning to run for Senate if Orrin Hatch retires
Utah Policy ^ | September 11, 2017 | Bryan Schott

Posted on 09/11/2017 9:32:19 AM PDT by Alter Kaker

Sources tell UtahPolicy.com that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is preparing to run for Senate in 2018 if Sen. Orrin Hatch decides to retire.

Sources close to Romney say the two-time presidential candidate will jump into the 2018 Utah Senate scrum if Hatch opts not to.

So far, Hatch has not made up his mind as to whether he'll run for an eighth term in 2018. He has previously said he was planning on running as long as his and his wife's health holds up.

Dave Hansen, a longtime political advisor to Hatch, told UtahPolicy.com last month that he didn't expect Hatch to decide on his political future until October. However, sources now tell UtahPolicy.com that Hatch may not make up his mind until December.

Hatch's reticence to make a definitive announcement is presenting other candidates from getting in the race, but Romney has the financial resources to mount a campaign no matter when Hatch decides.

As usual in RINO circles, which will it be, bad or worse?

Why can’t this man find a hobby? He wouldn’t be any better than Orrin Hatch.

What a mitthead.

Just what we need, another person with no grasp of Conservatism in that slot.

Might actually be worse, although I’m having a hard time imagining how, but he could probably pull it off.

Go away Mitch. You have enough money. You don’t need lobby money. Get a real job.

It’d be worse. He’s younger than Hatch. He’d be around longer...

Great. He’ll take McCain’s place as the “statesman who reaches across the aisle” (read: useful idiot for the other side)

If Romney is the alternative, better to keep Hatch. Just wonder if anyone would buck Romney in a primary.

Why doesn’t he just leave us alone?? Maybe he could start another business or something. Maybe there’s a market for car top dog carriers..

Is Hatch, Romney or Egg McMuffin the best that Utah has to offer?

Sad.

Seriously, this crowning/dyansty/it's my turn thing is getting flippin old. Do we not have at least one Constitutional Conservative Trumpian Tea Party type to run?

If not I'd rather see a "D" win, enough already...
