Mitt Romney will launch his Utah Senate campaign Thursday morning with a low key announcement on social media, and will make his first public appearance a day later near Salt Lake City with a keynote address to a gathering of grassroots Republicans.

If he wins refuse to seat him.

Romney is a self-serving political "Parasite!"....

[Flick Lives]

In some ways an upfront leftist nutcase like Maxine Waters is easier to take than a backstabbing obsequious yet pompous twit like Romney. I think it’s the hypocrisy of the man that is most annoying. With Waters, you know what she’s about. With Romney it’s pure Waffle House.

Not grassroots, more likely establishment R's.

I hope there is an alternative. How’s Mia Love?

But does that Mormon have to be Etch A Sketch?

His primary opponent needs to highlight this.

Mike Lee has a GREAT voting record. He’s one of the few at or close to 100 percent.

“I was a severely conservative governor.”

He can’t even talk the language.

I can honestly say I’d rather have U.S. Senator Mitt Romney than U.S. Senator Evan McMullin

I don't think I agree with you there.

Let's stipulate two things. First, both are Never Trumpers of the first order of magnitude. Second, neither is a conservative. Neither is a Reagan Republican, a constitutionalists, or whatever term you want to use.

It comes down to their pol;icy positions. While neither would be that good, I think we'd get more votes we like from a Senator McMullin than from a Senator Romney.

Ideologically, Romney is Susan Collins -- a very liberal Republican. Still better than a Dhimmicrap, but not by a lot. Ideologically, McMullin seems more like Al D'Amato. Not a conservative, but a "moderate" type who voted our way more often than the Collins types do.

I'd rather have the D'Amato type than the Collins type, based on voting record. I'd rather have a real conservative than either of them, but if that's the choice, I'm taking the D'Amato type.

I can’t dispute that, but that doesn’t change the fact that he hates Trump.

[MomwithHope]

He must have plenty of money to be flushing so much down the toilet.

[MomwithHope]

Ha LOL!

Mia Love hopped on board the Cheap Labor Express on her way to DC.

[cashless]

HURLLLLLL.

[caww]

[majormaturity]

You are dreaming....Put down the pot and sober up.

[Mr. Jeeves]

US Senator from Utah is probably the most harmless and ineffectual post Romney could end up holding. A nice way of putting a retired politician out to pasture. Service in the American House of Lords. Or upon retirement, becoming honorary chair of the the local homeowners association’s recycling committee. :)

[TBP]

Would she be preferable to Romney and McMullin?
