Orrin Hatch endorses Marco Rubio
Washington Examiner ^ | 2/22/16 3:49 PM | Ryan Lovelace

Posted on 02/22/2016 2:44:52 PM PST by pilgrim

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.

Orrin Hatch. Part of the problem necessitating the rise of Trump/ Cruz. And, they still can’t understand why.

Hatch? What an evil-looking POS.

These RINO endorsements are the kiss of death for the commie RINO candidates. Keep'em coming!

Ted should wear the shunning of the GOP as a badge of honor rather than lobbying them for endorsements.

That should say it all to anyone wanting to vote for an anti-establishment candidate. Hatch is a one of the biggest RINO’s on capital hill.

It is a wonder of nature that Orrin Hatch can stand up without a spine.
