I would have to agree with that. As I explained to anther person moments ago, because of his politics, I’ve always seen him as a New England state type of Senator, sort of another Collins.

It’s been mentioned enough that he’s from Utah, but that perception still exists in my mind.

“Gift to Mitt.”

Other than one term as governor in Massachusetts, has Mitt ever won an election?

Romney simply doesn’t get it. He’s only about 40 years behind the times.

I agree with you on that.

Due to Hatch’s proclivity to be somewhat of a Collins type of Republican, I forget he comes from Utah.

I thought they were told to vote for McMullen. In any event, even with McMullen, Trump won bigly in Utah.

McMullen was the LDS man, but Trump still won bigly.

Be thankful that Romney will keep the seat in the (R) column. If nothing else for the judicial picks. Most states don’t have an almost shoe-in as Utah does.

Yup. Romney is a hero in Utah....his big fix of the Salt Lake Olympics & his Mormon background along with Hatch in his corner makes this an almost sure win. In any event, Trump will eat his lunch.
