Romney, who is also the former Massachusetts governor and GOP presidential candidate, defeated his challenger, Dr. Mike Kennedy, a state lawmaker. Romney captured roughly 75 percent of the vote, according to FOX 13’s early analysis of numbers.

Guess so.  And they could have elected a real republican.

  • I don't believe in Trump anymore, he's an illusion
Milt is a loser. He is going to fail again trying to win another elected position. Delightful.
I wonder, when Mitt loses this election, will his son give another interview saying his dad didn't want to win anyway?

Mitt Romney will handily defeat the democrat in November, and be seated in the Senate.

Like it or not.

@montanajoe

Me, too, I knew Utah would vote Romney in a big way.  Not surprised of the over 70%. To predict the outcome of an election, you need to know the will (behavior) of the people in the past, not use the fact that you don't like the guy so he is going to lose.  Some on this forum speak from emotion, not fact, when it comes to predicting outcome of elections. Predicting the outcome of elections as close as possible, was part of my job when I worked for the Republican Party.

Any possibility of a Reverse McMullin? (That a Trumpist tries to run third party?)

Third parties hold their conventions in July when they select their candidates.  Their candidates' names are then put on the ballot.  There is also a cut off date by which a write-in candidate can submit his/her name to qualify as a write-in.  No other write-ins are counted on election day.

They do.   Especially when they are Ruling Class Royalty.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

Romney had to win.  The liberal Republicans will eventually lose John McCain.  They needed a replacement to tell us conservatives how rotten we are.
