Former Rep. Jason Chaffetz just barely retired from politics, but he’s become the “very early” front-runner in the next race for Utah governor in 2020.

The Republican received the most support — 24 percent — among a list of potential candidates in a new Dan Jones & Associates poll for The Salt Lake Tribune and the Hinckley Institute of Politics.

Not far behind is Democratic Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams, with 20 percent — but he was included in the poll before he chose recently to run next year in the 4th Congressional District against Rep. Mia Love. Still, he could opt to run for governor in the race that occurs two years later.

4. After his disgraceful behavior toward HRC and his behavior on the Benghazi attack committees

he should never be elected to public office again. I hope the Democrats get some really good ads out in Utah.

5. His evil and reprehensible actions are the reason he is in the lead. (eom)

9. Republicans admire successful evil

Winners can get away with anything.

Breaking the law and unethical behavior are good if you get away with it.

Chaffetz needs to finish high school and you want him to be governor?

I would hope folks there would recognize the criminal actions he's taken and vote against the slimeball.
