Orrin Hatch (R-UT), the longest serving Republican Senator in U.S. history, announced Tuesday he is retiring from the Senate at the end of his term.
This is a blow to the Trump administration. Trump encouraged Orrin Hatch to run for re-election.
Trump and Bannon have been working to block RINO hack Mitt Romney from running for the Utah Senate seat.
Mitt Romney has until March 15 to file for Hatch’s Senate seat.

And strongly favored by President Trump.
His handlers will pay him to run. And that will be another vote never to get rid of Obamacare.
I totally agree with you. She is a total loss.
Did his family ever re-establish U.S. citizenship after they defected to Mexico?
“The Dems get control without firing a shot”
How do you figure? They have not resigned they are not seeking re-election. We could end up 3 real Repubs to replace them.
Rep. Mia Love had harsh words for President Donald Trump Thursday.
The statement released by Love’s office reads: “Today’s tweet by POTUS undermines the Presidency and was absolutely inappropriate, no matter how much he feels he is the subject of ridicule from others. I wouldn’t accept behavior like this from my children.”
It wasn’t just one right in who got the votes, everybody from the guy actually asking for votes, to Santa Clause, God, and Nick Saban...Mickey Mouse....
But, the loss by Moore can actually be blamed on the one million registered, so called Republicans who stayed home.
His handlers will pay him to run. And that will be another vote never to get rid of Obamacare.
Who is the designated replacement?
Because McConnell and Ryan told him they couldn’t hold the seat if he didn’t.
And then they used every tactic known to man to defeat Moore, to prove themselves right at the cost of a Senate seat.
I’ve never seen a more pronounced self over nation moment.
Whoever is nominated better have a cleaner background then Roy Moore did.
Romney would vote to convict Trump in the Senate.
No actually conservatives by the number 600,000 didn’t show up and vote for Moore like they did Trump. That is the bottom line. It was a disaster to have Moore as the candidate and nothing McConnell or other did changed that. However, having Romney lose because he is not perfect will allow another Democrat to win. Eventually we will lose the majority if they follow your plan. We should be close to 60 seats in 2018, but instead we MIGHT get our 52 again. So stupid. And the House? Good grief what a mess that is going to be.
[And strongly favored by President Trump. ]
Perhaps Trump knew the level of mud that was going to be slung at Moore, true or not, and felt a RINO would be better than a Dem.
Mormonism trumps home state.
They pulled out all the stops.
Granted the Democrats got more people out, but that goes to organization too. The party is supposed to help get out the vote. The party was MIA. McConnell, Ryan, Shelby,... by the time they were done, it’s amazing Moore did as well as he did.
The Democrats gathered around their candidate heaping a 10-14 to one amount of campaign cash on Moore’s rival. Everyone in the Democrat party was pulling for him, and the Republican leadership was also.
Despite this, Moore came within 1.5% of winning.
Imagine the victory we could have had here. We’ll not get anyone better than Moore when it comes to Conservative votes.
This was a once in a few decades chance to really make a difference.
They did to Moore, what they desperately hoped would happen to Trump.
[Rep. Mia Love had harsh words for President Donald Trump Thursday.]
I would gladly send money to her CONSERVATIVE primary opponent....
Oh, please, now you claim Trump is a wimp who takes orders? Trump loved Strange and was very harsh against Moore and said he would never win.
Do you realize how much on the record stuff you have to ignore to come up with that conclusion?
There is a mountain of evidence, concerning what was done to undercut Moore by REPUBLICANS.
Please stop posting the McConnell, Ryan, Shelby, GOPe line on the forum.
Our own party submarined Moore as badly as I have ever seen a candidate get submarined by his own party, and here folks are spouting GOPe propaganda, without realizing it.
