1. Doesn't he own 8 houses? Or is that McCain?

maybe because he went to Brigham Young University they think it makes him eligible.

[crazycatlady]

Considering the GOP MA Senator wanted to become a senator from NH.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. Last I heard, people move. So do politicians.

It's still legal, as far as I know.

[Wounded Bear]

18. His dad was Gov of Michigan, IIRC...

Our residency requirements are kind of loose in America.

[L. Coyote]

19. He has a ski cabin there, and can simply declare UT his state of residence.

[iamateacher]

20. He has a home in La Jolla

But it is one of many....

[customerserviceguy]

21. He's the highest ranking member of the Mormon church in the political sphere

at least he will undisputedly be so after Hatch retires. They don't really recognize state boundaries in this situation, so Mittens can move to Utah and not be called a carpetbagger, or something like that.

It's probably the only state he can win a statewide election in, so he's seizing his opportunity. Even though he will vote pretty much like Hatch, at least he'll be a bit of a thorn in the side of Trump. And, hey, Alabama only comes along very infrequently, there's no way we're ever going to see a Democratic Senator from Utah in my lifetime, or probably yours, either.

So, it comes down to an obscure ass-kisser for the Senate from Utah, or a prominent burr-under-the-saddle for Trump, I'd be more amused at the latter (day saint)!
