Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch endorsed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio for president, the senator's staff confirmed to the Washington Examiner.
Hatch is one of the highest ranking Republicans in Congress, and he is third in the line of the succession to the U.S. presidency as president pro tempore of the United States Senate.
The six-term senator had previously endorsed Jeb Bush and sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2000. Hatch's endorsement could be interpreted as a sign of the party's governing class rallying to Rubio.

Not only because he’s endorsing Rubio (who put the stupid in the GOP?), but I look forward to the day when the name Orrin Hatch is no long heard in public.

Orrin is a reach around politician.
May as well...be Harry Reid's butt boy.
