SALT LAKE CITY — Mitt Romney became the instant front-runner when he announced his U.S. Senate campaign last week, as a new poll shows him with a commanding lead four days into the race.

A Utahpolicy.com poll released Tuesday shows 60 percent of Utahns would vote for the former Massachusetts governor among declared and possible candidates for the office. Only Democratic Salt Lake County Councilwoman Jenny Wilson polled in double digits, with a meager 14 percent.

Libertarian Craig Bowden and Rep. Dan McCay, R-Riverton, who has not entered the race, fared the best among the rest at 3 percent and 2 percent, respectively.

The Dan Jones & Associates poll surveyed 609 registered voters Feb. 9-16. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.

He’ll be a Republican placeholder, but not a reliable conservative vote.

Orrin Hatch voted against Trump’s immigration proposal after giving that speech praising Trump.

Democrats lie to your face, Republicans stab you in the back. Doesn’t seem like that will ever change.

Romney is a Mormon and none of his challengers is a Mormon. In Utah, that's decisive.

Will somebody please ask post-17th Amendment ratification Senate candidate Romney why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I?

Then report possible Romney blank look response to question back to this message board.

Harry Reid is also a Mormon.

Magic Mitt was elected to the most liberal state of all 57.
He gave us the first socialized medicine and the first queer marriage.

Some times mormons will say anything to get what they want.

Harry Reid from wikipedia........

Reid and his family reside in the Anthem area of Henderson, Nevada.[85] Reid (who was raised agnostic) and his wife (who was born to Jewish immigrant parents and grew up in Henderson) converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while he was a college student.[1] In a 2001 interview he said, “I think it is much easier to be a good member of the Church and a Democrat than a good member of the Church and a Republican.” He went on to say that the Democrats’ emphasis on helping others, as opposed to what he considers Republican dogma to the contrary, is the reason he’s a Democrat.[86] He delivered a speech at Brigham Young University to about 4,000 students on October 9, 2007, in which he expressed his opinion that Democratic values mirror Mormon values”””””

What a tragedy Utah voters will get stuck with this embarrassing turncoat. In his own disgusting way, the next McShame. Can’t the R party get cleaned up of the Flakes and Kasucks and Lindsays and McShame and Collins abd Bushes, already?! How does one become a R candidate, anyway? A little quality control is definitely in order, creepers!

Willard RomneyCARE could not win the Senate contest
in Massachusetts.

That was before the Rat backstabbed Gov. Palin, Sen Thompson,
Pres. Trump, and every other conservative, hoping
to get traction by every attack. Did it work in Utah?

“The GOP is the stupid Party.”

NO! Utah Mormons are just “Sheeple!” Just like Catholics, Muslims, Jews, whomever. Their “faith” is more important to them than their country.
