Utah’s Republican primaries are coming up fast.
For those of you who don’t know Utah politics, here’s a quick primer. Outside of a few blue big city enclaves that elect democrats, the real action in Utah politics is in the party conventions/primaries. Since our liberals/progressives can’t win as the democrats they are they usually run as republicans.
Utah has a primary system where local caucuses choose delegates to represent our neighborhoods, then they vote at a convention to select the candidates. Primaries were just for run offs when a candidate didn’t get a high enough percentage of delegates. But since delegates tended to be politically astute and well informed (not easily bamboozled) that didn’t work well for RINOs. So they managed to push through a ridiculous alternate system where you can also go on the primary ballot if you get enough signatures.
So the actual conservative usually wins at the convention, but then the RINO (who inevitably has big corporate/union backing) just pays professional signature gatherers to buy their way onto the primary ballot. Then they just spend that sweet teacher’s union money on ads to the primary voters saying how conservative they are, until they get elected and vote for the same old lefty crap. Or alternatively, concentrate on getting sweet business deals for their family and friends. Either way, the people of Utah lose.
So if you non-Utahns ever wonder why Utah is the natural habitat of the Great White RINO, now you know. If you go on safari here you can watch Mitt Romney or Spencer Cox (He/Him) graze majestically upon our tax dollars.
However, we can still beat these RINOs in the actual primaries. That just requires educating the populace. The following is all MY OPINION (because some of these RINOs are vindictive

Since you put it that way, I would like to see Mitt Romney in my trophy room.
No RINOs.
voting rino is simply voting for the managed decline of America.
I think the late Howard Phillips of the Conservative Caucus came up with an excellent analogy.
With the Democrats in charge, it’s as if the country is a car going off a cliff at 100 miles per hour.
At least the Republicans drive the speed limit, but you’re still going off the cliff. What we need to do is turn teh car around.
I’ve wanted that scalp for almost 20 years.
I’ve always been curious how Romney, the carpet bagger, won over the homegrown guy he ran against.
He was anointed by the mormon church leadership, good for a solid 30-60% of the vote. And they jiggered the convention/nomination process to get him on the ballot.
