Utah GOP chairman takes a jab at Romney's ability to represent the state
By Josh Delk - 02/14/18 02:18 PM EST

In an unusual move, the chairman of the Utah Republican party on Wednesday took a jab at Mitt Romney's possible run for Senate in Utah, comparing the former GOP presidential candidate's likely run to Hillary Clinton's past run for Senate.

Rob Anderson, the state party chairman, told The Salt Lake Tribune that Romney is "essentially doing what Hillary Clinton did in New York," recalling the former first lady's 2000 run for Senate in New York, a state she had never resided in. He said Romney has barely spent any time in Utah.

"I think he's keeping out candidates that I think would be a better fit for Utah because, let's face it, Mitt Romney doesn't live here, his kids weren't born here, he doesn't shop here," Anderson said.

Chairman Rob Anderson is likely an Evan McMuffin supporter.

Wagering on Romney vs. McMuffin, my money is on Romney.

...hmmm ... I was always under the impression that Romney was fairly popular in UT.  He purchased a rather large home in Park City, UT in 2013, has Mormon roots and helped to organize the Winter Olympics there in '02.   So I'm not so sure why the jab from the GOP chairman.

Bullshit. The state GOP chairman isn't going to back some independent loser like McMuffin. He runs the state party. As a matter of fact he was one of the GOP heavies in the state who went around and punished GOP underlings who backed anyone other than the then 2016 GOP candidate....Donald Trump.

Romney is an opportunist shitbag. He travels from state to state building mansions in the hopes that he will find an open seat to run in and have a built in residency. He was the GD Gov of Taxachusettes for Christs sakes. He has no business running a marathon in Utah. He sure as hell shouldn't be jamming up opportunities for younger new GOP'ers who actually live in UT to have a shot.
