Failed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is finally getting the love that he believes that he deserves as a new poll shows that he’s crushing it with Utah Democrats.
Romney has been the leader of the establishment GOP anti-Trump lynch mob on Capitol Hill and came out early in favor of the unprecedented second impeachment of former President Trump.
The man who gagged away a winnable election to Barack Obama in 2012 is now viewed with overwhelming approval by Democrats in his home state.

According to a poll by the Salt Lake City-based Deseret News, Romney has double the support from Beehive State Dems than of Republicans, many of who view him with suspicion if not outright disgust.
Via The Washington Examiner, “Romney over twice as popular among Utah Democrats as he is among state’s Republicans: Poll”:
Romney has 84% favorability among the state’s Democratic voters, more than double his approval among one-third of Republicans, according to a survey conducted by the Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics.
Democrats are drawn to Romney because he speaks “his truth,” a concept not particularly “in vogue” within the GOP, Utah Democratic Party Chairman Jeff Merchant said.
“I have to be really honest. I’m slightly flabbergasted by the number of Republicans who don’t approve of his performance,” he told the Deseret News. “He’s certainly a conservative member of the Republican Party with really a singular exception, which is his unwillingness to go along with all of the antics and, frankly, undemocratic tendencies of Donald Trump.”
Romney, often a foil to former President Donald Trump during the two years of overlap in which both served in the federal government, was one of five Republicans who voted to proceed with an impeachment trial against Trump on Tuesday.
Once in Washington, Mitt frequently curried favor with the enemy.
Last year, he was the only Republican to vote to convict Trump in Nancy Pelosi’s first sham impeachment. He then marched with Black Lives Matter activists in front of the White House while becoming the media’s go-to guy when they were pushing the narrative of bipartisan resistance against the then-POTUS.
Now that the ill-conceived rushed sequel to impeachment was dealt a mortal blow when Senator Rand Paul forced a vote on the constitutionality of the process that smoked out the five Republicans including Romney who would vote to convict, Mitt’s focus will shift to the rigged censure resolution that is now being pushed to bar Trump from running again in 2024.
Have at it.

Telegram is attracting just about every prominent Trumpian you can think of. You should never see political censoring on it. It's so effective that the SWAMP is trying to figure out how to take it down as was done to Parler. But it's more difficult to deplatform because it's worldwide with 500+ million users with different servers locations/VPNs etc. And it's true end-to-end encrypted.

Lololo Pierre! Just join ‘em already!
Saved the Olympics. Pretty good governor. He would have been an ideal economic czar for the city of Detroit where the family name is in high esteem. But then what do I know?
There is NO MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE between the two parties except for Trump and the GOP still plans to purge him like they did Reagan and go back to laughing at us all.
This should not be a surprise to anyone. In 2018, the voters of Utah took the extraordinary step of giving one of their two U.S. Senate seats to Massachusetts.
That about says it all.
Gotta be the magic undies.
Figures.
Finally a poll that is accurate. Can we please jettison that goofball traitor Romney already?
She probably was calling him "Hitler" back in 2012.
Funny how "his truth" always so closely matches the Democrats' weekly talking points. :)

Miscast as one of a hundred senators. He’s gotta be the man and POTUS ain’t it.
He left with a 30% approval rating.
And for that, EVERY Republican in the state should be demanding his resignation and moving out of the state.
"Utahns, too, were repeatedly exposed to radiation from nuclear bomb tests at the Nevada Test Site near Las Vegas. The tests were conducted when wind patterns would blow radiation clouds away from Las Vegas and California but toward Utah, where people and livestock downwind were sickened from the fallout."

If by “good” you mean horrible, yes.
He should be sitting at a bar with Liz Cheney drinking away their sorrows and wondering what happened to their jobs.
How do you have very left wing friends?
They vote for people and policies that would deny you, me and all of us our Constitutional rights. What could you possibly have in common?
