Mitt Romney is back. |
The weather vane.
Mitt Romney announced he will run once again for the U.S. Senate. The failed 2012 presidential nominee believes
this one will be easy.
Sen. Orin Hatch (R-UT) is retiring. Donald J. Trump was begging Hatch to stay in the running. He couldn't get the aging senator to stay.
Romney, the opportunist is now determined to win at least one more time.
The very same Republican lawmakers and political agitators who want Hillary Clinton to go away are cheering on a four time failed candidate.
Romney served only one term as governor in Massachusetts. He ran for the senate over 20 years ago and lost. He ran for president in 2008 and 2012.
He lost to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in 2008 for the nomination and then president Barack Obama in 2012 as the Republican nominee.
Now he has ties to California, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Utah. His father George Romney was governor of Michigan and a failed presidential candidate.
Romney was instrumental in getting the 2002 Winter Olympics in Utah.
Now he hopes his fellow Mormons will overlook his track record of losing.
Romney was a harsh critic of Trump. He criticized Trump when he became the presumptive nominee and urged Republicans to vote for his struggling opponents John Kasich and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

Jenny Wilson is the current at large commissioner of Salt Lake City. She is not a carpetbagger like Romney. The failed 2012 Republican nominee wants to start a clean slate. Please support Jenny Wilson for Senate. |
Now as a candidate Romney carries lots of baggage. He will be a drag on Republicans. The infamous 47% comments, his ties to the establishment and his flip-flopping will come back to haunt him.
But so far if Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) or Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) opt out of running, the it seems like a pretty easy ride ride for a perennial loser.
The Democrats need to line up a candidate that is strong enough to defeat him.
Hopefully declared Democrat candidate Jenny Wilson could build a strong coalition to defeat Romney.
Romney is a carpetbagger and an opportunist. Hopefully Utah rejects his worthless ass.
Romney will support Trump no matter what. Don't believe the so called check and balance Romney.
