Did anyone really expect otherwise? It’s Mitt Romney and Utah. This is probably one of the biggest slam dunk races in U.S. Senate history.
For a non-incumbent, of course.
The Mormon cult takes care of its own.
Utah won’t vote him out. They have had Hatch in there since Joseph Smith found the crazy plates.
Romney now has that Senate seat for the rest of his natural born life
Rockfeller Republicanism just now came back to life with Romney’s win tonight.
Ping
Trump already tweeted is congrats.
is = his
Yes!
The 16th Amendment needs to disappear too.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
I’d rather have a democrat.
The problem with Mormons is that they always vote for the hierarchy just like blacks always vote for blacks
I was hoping it would be closer but was under no illusions he wouldn’t win.
Susie Collins is the closest thing to a “Rockefeller Republican”. Romney’s voting record should certainly be much better than hers.
He’ll be no worse than any number of the bastards. He’s a downgrade from Hatch though, maybe a (pre recent next level doucheyness) McCain at worst, maybe a litter better.
Filing is quite closed, DJ. There is a Constitution Party dude and a Libertarian for you. Romney will be elected and will vote for Trump judicial picks.
Even though it's a beautiful state, I would never want to live anywhere in Utah because of a certain organization that totally dominates its culture.
There aren’t words to describe on a family-friendly website about this vile, treasonous scum. He needs to be in jail along with Zero, Hillary and McQueeg and the other traitors. I will not support this filth under any circumstances, and I will pray he is removed by any means necessary from ever attaining office.
There is nothing anyone can say to me that will ever change my mind.
I’m not really a Romney fan, but President Trump did endorse him.
The ahole loser gave us four more years of Obama. He is a coward and a fraud and will fight Trump everywhere. Shame on you Utah.
Utah...strange place beautiful and pretty women and courteous people
But unusual
“Let’s see...Romney would win caucuses or primaries in UT, MA, and RI. That’s it. Big furking deal. He won’t run.”
There are enough NeverTrumpers to stroke Romney’s ego. Never underestimate this man with a mission.
FReegards from another native Bay Stater.
And marry their own. It's where all the Utahrds come from.
