In fact, the 27% that Hitlery got in Utah is IDENTICAL to the 27% that the mentally ill transvestite man running for Senate on the Democrat ticket got against Mike Lee.

We must do everything possible to defeat Romney as our nominee including paying whores to say he abused them like the rinos did to Judge Moore.I suspect Romney has a large closet hiding things.One of the things he was a part of was the pay off of Olympic officials for the selection of Salt lake City for the winter Olympics!! It was millions in bribes and Romney was right in the middle.One thing for sure is that he doesn’t campaign. He just disappears the last 30 days of any campaign.To hell with Romney. NO MERCY!!

Romney is a POS. He needs to be primaried by a MAGA candidate.

He’s ok - not my first choice, but far better than ANY Dem.

No, he's not! Having an "R" behind his name does not make him a conservative. Romney is the founder of republican socialized "medicine" and homosexual "marriage". Massachusetts moved from the second-largest debtor state to the largest debtor state in the nation under Romney's watch. Everything about that sleezebag screams progressive liberal democrat. A case could be made for just about any one of the Blue Dog Democrats as being far better than Romney.

Love has said some nasty stuff about Trump.

Huntsman at least endorsed Trump. He’ll fall in line with the Presidents agenda. Romney won’t. Love won’t.

I agree.

We want people who have had to deal with legislation at home, to come to Congress and defend those in business or other parts of the private sector.

Some of these people have essentially never held a normal job in their lives. That’s not what the Framers had in mind.

To elect a Republican majority, it helps to elect actual Republicans. Willard has been a Deep State Socialist just like his idiot father all his life. He helped elect Zero, he tried to sandbag President Trump to elect Hillary by running Egg McMuffin, another treasonous Socialist scumbag.

No Republican or Conservative person in their right mind could ever support Willard if they know the truth about him and his treachery.

I agree with you on that.

It’s my take the Romney wouldn’t entertain something so menial either, as he would see it beneath him.

He’s a man who lost. Now he thinks he should dictate policy.

What the heck?

Works for me.

We just need to find the right Conservative to bump him.

Can’t we get someone who is younger? Like 35 to 40, instead of 80+?

At present, she has the highest ACU/Conservative rating of the 4 House members from Utah (96 in ‘15/92 in ‘16), and that’s one reason I’d support her. But Jonny-boy is slick and way too RINO and untrustworthy, way too Willardish.

We should be able to, but a state that is putting a milk-toast like Hatch in time after time, can’t be seen as a solid Conservative lock.

When I addressed Hatch and losing a seat, I had written that thinking he was a New England state individual. Although he voted that way, he was obviously the Utah Senator.

My comment on us losing his seat was off base, but then if Romney does replace him, on a number of issues it will be like we lost the seat to a Democrat.

If he wanted to truly win the Presidency, he could have. Same with McQueeg. Zero was infinitely beatable. But you know and I know that Willard and McQueeg ONLY use the nuclear option on Conservatives.

If you want to see a real example of how mentally ill Willard is, take a look at the footage from the night Scott Brown won the MA Senate special election. Willard was so delusional and deranged, he took the stage acting like HE, and not Brown, had won the Senate race.

Hatch has a been a poster boy for TERM LIMITS...since he's been in office...

If the Pubbies can't get a real Conservative to run there...then that's on them...and the voter's in Utah.

If Jason Chaffetz doesn’t want the seat Mia Love would be great.

We know who runs the party, at this level. The GOPe is already salivating.
