Mitt Romney will face the biggest test so far in his bid for US Senate on Saturday, when the Utah GOP gathers for party caucuses to decide who will be the party's nominee to replace retiring Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch.

Romney has already secured a spot on the Utah primary ballot by gathering the requisite signatures to qualify. But because of a protracted battle within the state party, Utah candidates can take two paths to the ballot: by participating in the caucus nominating process favored by party activists or by gathering signatures.

Romney has opted to do both, in a nod to party activists who view the signature gathering process as a boon to big-money, establishment candidates.

It's unclear whether Romney will emerge from Saturday's caucus voting as the party's anointed candidate, even though the former Massachusetts governor has put 9,000 miles on his 2002 Chevy truck visiting all 29 Utah counties in the past two months.

2. Is Mitt Deplorable Enough

To get the Trumpscum vote?

3. On any given day the scum vote will support Republican scum.

The main difference between Trump and Romney is Trump sounds like the low life ignorant assholes who support him, and Romney is that boss whose ass you have to kiss. Neither Trump or Romney have any care for those who vote for them.

4. I'm pretty sure he will get elected. They love him in Utah.

Besides, he's only there to get into the White House.

6. Did he get out from under the dinner table in New York............ first

Then he got in his 2002 Chevy Truck.......you know to make it look like that he is down to earth and doesn't have a 2018.........................truck...............or his he in one from "cheap car rental that he owns" ------------

Give me a fucking break..................


I can just see him now in the UTAH ads, just tooling around in a 2002 truck, got his flannel shirt on, shirt sleeves rolled up, blue jeans, cowboy boots and hat....................telling the citizens that Bears Tooth was a fine idea to give to oil companies, and he got anointed by a fucking right wing hypocrite, that sat in the senate chamber and said left wingers are always whining about how the rich get tax breaks Orrin fucking Hatch, don't pick on us, because he and Romney are part of the "PASS THROUGH" fucking crowd...................


Fuck this "guy" and his 1992 truck hope it breaks down.............

9. Why would he try to be Scott Brown?

It would seem the one play he can and should run as himself is Utah. I suspect he is too well known to drastically change his image. He might simply work to humanize himself. Changing to something he is not makes him fake and a hypocrite.

7. This is the sad consequence of Trump. Romney looks like a godsend

He lost by a big margin to Obama, but if Fox News and Sinclair media, and all the RW hate shock jocks on radio find any mole they can create mountains of scandal out of against whomever the Democratic nominee is, at least to Republicans and Independents, many will look to Mr. 47% as some kind of saviour of not only the Republican party, but the country.
