I for one disagree with the article's premise. I'd rather see Evan McMullin run against Hatch. He'd be unstoppable. Add to that the fact that in every US Senate election in Utah since 1994, the Republican has won at least 60% of the vote. The Rats have no chance no matter who runs.

First, Mittens being a Never Trump is an automatic no.

Second, States shouldn’t be looking for long term Senators.

Didn’t bother reading the rest, as there is never a good reason for Mittens or any other RINO to be elected.

I don’t suppose a non-Rino could run...

He is like a fish on the dock. He just needs to go away.

It would be better to keep Hatch than get Romney in his place.

Romney at 44%? Is that a primary number or a general election number? If it is a general election number that is not what I would call a good number in a state like Utah.

McMullin? A 41 year old unmarried male who wants to “means test” eligibility for social security and tried to sabotage Trump by running against him in the 2016 general election to drain votes away from Trump? I’ll pass.

Nancy Reagan's directive is more important each year.

Just say no... to RINOs!

Sorry but Mitt is a backbiting snake.....always has been and will continue to be so. Think of a Mormon McCain.....

No way ever......Bannon where are you?

You didn’t miss much by not reading the rest. Bizarre logic. The argument was that a poll shows a Democrat beating Mia Love 15% to 8%, therefore it could be a Democrat victory. It also refers to her as a “first term House member” - she is in her second term. Another reason listed for a Romney candidacy is that Joe Biden encouraged Romney to run. And another is that he could “work well with Democrats to get things done.”

And having a younger candidate to bring youth to the caucus and the image of the party isn’t a bad argument, but the logic for that per this article is so that this same person could be in the Senate “for decades” ... that shouldn’t be the point.

Evan McMullin is the Senator Palpatine of NeverTrumpland. I'd rather vote for John McCain.

Romney is the least NeverTrump any Utah candidate will realistically get, and he won't stay long. Maybe Utah can get a clue in the meantime and find someone else who is better.

Scum Willard is a “HELL, F’ING NO !” Democrat Deep State operative. As for his equally scummy and treasonous puppet, Egg McMuffin, I’d vote for Harvey Weinstein before that piece of $hit.

As Utah’s junior Senator he won’t have much pull especially under majority leader Cruz.
