Now that Hatch is retiring.

Mittens and DJT had a fairly amicable relationship during his SOS search, but that has since soured.

Who will challenge Mittens from the GOP?

Mitt kissed Trump’s arse because he wanted the SOS job. He has absolutely no reason to kiss Trump’s arse as a Senator (or candidate) from Utah.

Hell, Utah will celebrate Romney going against Trump on a lot of matters important to Mormons.

No doubt Mitt will be bringing the heat in his campaign, but with Mitt and Trump at odds, it's created an interesting dynamic.

Will Trump prop up another candidate?

Do they think that Trump is going to slap a bunch of regulations on 10 speeds?

I think DJT leaves it alone. Mitt and DJT might disagree but I don’t think Mitt would purposely try to derail the president’s agenda.

We wouldn’t be where we are today if he had brought the heat against Obama.

I agree with this.

However I do hope another candidate besides Mitt rises to the top and not McMuffin. He would be worse than Mitt.

Dude has been doing it from the sidelines since even before Trump got elected. I just don't trust Mitt one iota.

This is how they make Mitt look better. The contrast him with McMuffin and all of a sudden Mitt doesn't look that bad.

A Trump propped up candidate would get their arse kicked by Romney. No need for Trump to wade into this race.

Would Huntsman give up his post as ambassador to Russia to take a Senate seat?

He is an ex governor of Utah and would probably do it just to put a thumb in Romney’s eye since they represent rival Mormon power families.

I think some are underestimating how much Mormons do not like Trump. They are not like evangelicals.

Which is why I am not doing something stupid like suggest Karl Malone or John Stockton run.


Huntsman is a twice elected governor of the state and part of one of the Mormon power families.

He’s one of the few potential candidates I can see running against Romney in Utah and making it a contest.

It’s mainly a question as to whether Huntsman wants to go to war with Romney and if Trump’s agenda benefits from Huntsman enough to risk pissing off Romney should he win.

That would be interesting.

This is how I could currently rank Utah current and potential senatorial politicians according to my ideology:

Mike Lee (happy he is in the senate) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Orin Hatch >>>>>>>>>> John Huntsman>>Mitt Romney>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>McMuffin
