They were determined to hold on to power, so when Orrin Hatch wanted to retire, who did they turn to to bequeath the seat? Why, the former governor of Massachusetts and failed presidential candidate who called Donald Trump a phony and a fraud.

I always wondered why a two-faced New Englander would be such a shoe-in for the Utah Senate--I assumed it was because he duped the voters by playing the Mormon card.

He’s 76 freaking years old! Are the elderly not able to just retire now a day?

We've turned our elected officials into royalty, royalty are royalty for life. Have you seen their perks, and how they are feted and treated? Go down to see your Senator speak somewhere. Do you think you can even get close enough to ask them a question, and they work for you? Don't even try it, their armed guards will arrest you.

Lawyer and career political hack … pretty much defines everything that is wrong with government today.

Nobody should be surprised that useless losers like this detest Donald Trump.

What a loser... This guy lost his seat to Crist for crying out loud, and was swept from office as Trump was being voted in, didn’t even serve 2 full terms... and has spent his time since bashing Trump.

“The shared mission of even establishment conservatives is trending increasingly toward undermining our institutions“

My how things have turned. The leftist radicals have become statist hacks.

“...undermining our institutions and holding power by attacking basic suffrage and fundamental equal protections.”


Which of ‘our institutions’ have the conservatives undermined? The FBI that claimed Hunter’s laptop to be Russian propaganda? The ‘intelligence establishment’ that declared the Steele Dossier to be true? Those institutions?

And whose basic suffrage was attacked—the dead?

And whose fundamental equal protections—drag queens’ access to kids and pretend women’s access to places reserved for women?

It is hard for me to imagine how long we can remain a single Union when two large groups of our population hold such divergent views of reality.

I saw Romney in Colorado in ‘12.
Almost as lame as McCain in ‘08.
Both of them ran to make $$$ and had no plans to win.

You're absolutely right. Didn't even cross my mind, and I retired at 55. Guess I've become conditioned to the Senate being a nursing home. Good illustration of what media conditioning has brought me to tolerate.

So many here move their elderly congress. I think it’s pitiful that they can’t enjoy their lives. I retired early too. It’s awesome! Why work when you don’t have too? Travel is easier. Sports and other activities are able to be done. People are nuts to work til death.
