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.
These guys so want illegals as laborers for their donors, it is embarrassing.
The Aging Whore......
No, they want illegals in here so they can be controlled. White, law-abiding taxpayers cannot be controlled. That’s why the elites are pushing hard for amnesty.
Welp. I know who I won’t be supporting at all.
It amazes me the gOPe cannot see what they have done.
The anger against them should be evident somehow!!
Take care.........pilgrim
I am shocked. /s
Levin is an anycockledoo Republican.
Orrin Hatch is, I hate to say it, a poster child for the term limits movement.
I disagree with his endorsement of Rubio - but that’s really not the point here.
The point is that no one, regardless of whether they have GOP or Dem after their name, should be holding office for this long.
I can’t help but think that many of our Founding Fathers would likely say “Institutional knowledge is one thing but the tenure of someone like Orrin Hatch is not healthy for this nation”.
Kiss of death.....the opposite of Robert Reich ‘condemnation’ of Cruz
(Cruz should put it in an ad)

Establishment endorsing the Establish Candidate “Plan B” Rubio.
“RINO Two this is RINO One - You Copy?”
I remember Hatch smoothing out Courtney Love. That was a big deal and helped usher in some fresh blood. :)
Just when I am ready to reconsider Rubio, we see Dole, Hatch and Pawlenty and Tillis on board. All people I thoroughly detest. This RINO on rally around Rubio may backfire and help Trump. Tin ears everywhere you look in Washington.
Mike Lee isn’t picking sides between friends Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio

Mike Lee is scheduled to campaign with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, declining to choose sides in the Republican presidential primary between his two closest allies in the Senate.
Yawn..... they all got their marching orders from the GOP — no Trump and no Cruz. It’s disgraceful the way this is unfolding. They clearly don’t want to win.
Another RINO patrician endorses his elitist counterpart.
How typical!
