Romney loses GOP support in Utah after challenging Trump on impeachment
"Utah Republican Sen. Mitt Romney lost support from Republicans and independents
in his home state during the weeks after he called for witnesses in President Trump's
Senate impeachment trial, a new poll shows. The Morning Consult survey found support
for Romney, 72, going down after he called for former national security adviser
John Bolton to testify at Trumps impeachment trial, which began on Thursday.
... In the prior quarter, 65% of Utah Republicans supported Romney, and
while a majority still do presently, that number sank to 57%.
... Democrats claim Trump pressured Zelensky to dig up political dirt on former
Vice President Joe Biden, a leading Democrat vying to take on the president in November 2020.
Following the release of the transcript of the call, Romney described the
conversation as troubling in the extreme. ....
Romney is part of a small group of Republican senators who say they want to
hear from Bolton, one of the witnesses Democrats say should testify.

I was wondering if/when this would happen. Mormons (plentiful in Utah) appreciate a great economy as much as anyone else. Romney trying to throw a monkey wrench in to Trump’s plans can’t make them happy.

Senators and congressmen can’t be recalled. This has been litigated in federal court (Frank Church, Idaho, 1967) and state court (Robert Menendez, New Jersey, 2013).

The sorry treasonous dirtbag will be reelected by his cult. But of course his foolish votes and choices will be offset by the steadiness, courage and wisdom of his Utah colleague, Mike Lee.
Waaaay-da minute!!

Like the classic Stalin Versus Hitler dilemma.
The least bad option was to vote for someone who supported your values so that I would not be ashamed of when I stand before God.
I voted a write in For Herman Cain.
I hoped that at the very least people who kept voting for globalists over American Patriots because they believed that only the globalists could win would find themselves bashing their face into a wall of reality that the notion that enough people would not support a globalist on the Republican ticket that they would stick with a patriot next time.

If we have to hear witnesses, start with the witless who already testified, and the whistle-blower. Only this time, with proper cross-examination.They'll just lie.

Gord Smith from Oregon and the Udall’s from NM and CO are not only Mormons but cousins (only one of the Udall’s is still in the Senate) as is Mike Lee (Mostly second cousins, the Udall’s may be first cousins).

“Are the Mormons like the Evangelicals, in that they’re single-issue voters?”
What is the single issue for Mormons?
I’m evangelical, and definitely not a single-issue voter.

Partner, we never trusted Mittens Romney after all the verbal assaults on President Trump and all were unfounded.
He will never ever run for POTUS since he can not even win one (1) state.
We are doubting that he could win the "Dogcatcher for a little ole one horse town in Texas."
Mittens is one total joke who is so delusional about President Trump winning the election of 2016 and now they are trying to unseat President Trump for the second time.
The first time was that corrupt Robert Mueller trial where President Trump was accused of colluding with the Russians and yet it was Miss Hillary colluding with the Russians. The DemonRats nor that witch Miss Hillary will never explain to the public what in the world they did to obtain that fake Dossier.
The DemonRat party has turned to Congenital Liars every one of them kinda like the pro Miss Hillary whom we know that Bill Safire called it correctly in the 90's when she was trying hard to defend her "Dawg Husband Bill Clintoon".
The witch Miss Hillary has always been a Congenital Liar!!!

Agree. Romney is 72 and wouldnt be on the ballot for 4 years. I am certain he could care less about a popularity poll right now. Respectfully, my FRiend, I do not agree.
I suspect stronly that Mister Romney plans to run opposing President Trump in the primaries; and after losing major league, will run as an unelectable Indy in the general (out of pure spite).
Romney will, of course, finish lower than last, but if he can succeed at helping to vote-out Trump (who embarrassed him by winning and then being honest and successful), then he's a happy RINO.

I don’t know about Gord Smith but that’s three more liberal schmucks in the Udalls and Mike Lee.
