You know Romney could be a huge problem....

[imanamerican63]

if he does run for the Senate? He had really bad ideas when was running in 2012! Another rich person wanting more money from the working class and the poor!

[enough]

1. He won't be worse than Hatch. NT

[roamer65]

2. Bingo.

Plus fireworks will be fun to watch.

[dubyadiprecession]

4. Romney will be less supportive to trump than hatch is.

Hopefully, he will drive trump's blood pressure up.

[LisaM]

10. If Utah is going to elect a Republican anyway, it may as well be Romney

as he seems to hate Trump and wouldn't mind being a burr under his saddle (not to mention that Obamacare, despite all denials, was based on Romneycare).

[dubyadiprecession]

11. Do you think he will ask Romney to change his last name?

[TheDebbieDee]

23. Lolololol!

[Dem_4_Life]

41. LOL!!!

[customerserviceguy]

24. I haven't seen too much of the burr

since Romney sucked up to Trump, and kissed his ring for a shot at Secretary of State.

That said, being a well-known Senator would put him in a position for some sort of revenge for the humiliation of not being picked.

[LisaM]

35. I said wouldn't mind being, not is.

However, it's pure conjecture because Republicans have an unfortunate habit of folding bwfore Trump's nonsense.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

32. They're ..igual, the same

[Dave Starsky]

37. Oh, he can never be worse than (fill in the blank)!

How many times have I said this, in regards to members of the GOP? And I have been proven wrong. Every. Single. Time.

[Freethinker65]

3. Romney will win. He will pass on the seat to a relative

The Romney dynasty (George Romney was the well liked governor of Michigan) will continue

[LisaM]

5. George Romney was NOT a well-liked governor of Michigan!

He was governor when I was a kid and everyone I knew hated him.

[roamer65]

8. Yup. Bill Milliken was much more popular.

Gov Milliken is a good, honest man who took a walk on the Repuke party many years ago.

[LisaM]

9. Yes, he was very well liked, and still is.

I wish there were more of every party like him.

[RhodeIslandOne]

38. He won 3 times

The last time by like a half a million votes.

But hey, “no one liked Reagan” either.

[LisaM]

40. You're probably right. He was not well-liked in my family...

but overall, his record was fairly decent.

Gubernatorial terms were only two years then, which I didn't realize. I mostly remember the brainwashing remark, and about his having been born in Mexico, but I was pretty young at the time!! My actual first memory of him was a gigantic poster of him when he was running for president, which I think we passed as we were going to meet the guy who did the puppet show on local TV.

[FSogol]

6. It is Utah. Anti-trump is probably the best we can hope for. n/t

[Va Lefty]

7. Agreed

[Alice11111]

12. Yep. He will speak up to Trump. Utah isn't gonna elect a Dem

Compared to Dotard, he is much better.

[AlexSFCA]

16. not necessary

watch bannon organizing his deplorables to deny romney rep nomination. If Alabama can elect a democrat, Utah is is definately in play. It is far leas conservative with sizeable yong progressive population. Don’t forget Salt Lake City has elected a democrat lesbian as mayor.

[Alice11111]

20. Good points

[elleng]

26. and Dem mayors repeatedly.

[elehhhhna]

13. 47% sayswhat?

[DavidDvorkin]

14. He might not be as bad as Hatch, but

don't expect him to stand up to Trump. We've already seen him demonstrate spinelessness bootlicking in that regard.

[Alice11111]

21. Yes, Trump connived to neuter him. I still think, for a Repub,

he's the old school. He has blood in his veins. No doubt, he is out of touch wealthy, in his house with many elevators, for his cars.

[JI7]

15. At least he was right about Putin. But it's a seat democrats have little chance of winning

So i wouldnt mind Romney just because trump would hate it.

[VOX]

17. I'm now completely suspicious of anyone with an (R) after their name.

Even the ones that get called RINOS by their own people -- because they will always let you down in some typically Republican way.

Had R.money been in the Senate for the horrible "tax cut" I wonder how he would havevoted. Given his background and history, I have to believe he would have voted for it.

A Republican is a Republican is a Republican.

[TlalocW]

18. Remember though, Trump doesn't like Mittens

It's entirely possible that regardless of the possibility of the republicans losing the Senate, Trump is just an immature enough little snot that he would sabotage Mittens either in the primary or the general election.

TlalocW

[roamer65]

19. I bet Dump backs a Bannon candidate.

...and they get handed their asses by Mittens.

[Alice11111]

22. Hope so. Love to see those Lard Arses being handed their

Own Arses.

[oasis]

25. Mitt won't be kissing Trump's ass. Hatch is a disgrace to the senate.

[Doodley]

27. Repugs need to reject Romney and find another pedophile if Roy Moore isn't available.

[unblock]

28. Opposition to trump is more important.

He is one of the very few republicans who might actually defend democracy, at least against Donnie.

[jalan48]

29. Romney will get bought off with tax deductions for home elevator garages.

[YOHABLO]

30. Maybe not.

[RandySF]

31. On the other hand, Trump and Romney hate each other's guts.

There WILL be a primary.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

33. Romney's a fucking creep! He'll vote the same way Hatch does, so I don't

Understand why anyone thinks he'd be an improvement.

[MFM008]

34. It's simple

He and the maggot hate each other.
Anything that gives maggot heartburn makes me smile.

[Blue_Adept]

36. Will Romney have any competition?

I mean, are we actually going to run a candidate? And talk about them? Or will we spend all our time talking about Romney, Hatch, and Trump instead.

[RhodeIslandOne]

39. Shitt would have voted for this tax bill

Enough to disqualify him.
