 Romney’s Impeachment Vote Won’t Damage Him In Utah One Bit

Utah may have changed in the four years since Trump, but it will never change enough for Romney not to be a winning candidate in whatever statewide race he decides to enter

By Zach Bloxham
February 7, 2020

On Wednesday Utah Sen. Mitt Romney delivered an impassioned speech on the floor of the Senate, outlining his belief that President Donald Trump’s conduct was sufficient to justify the exceptional remedy of impeachment. An hour and a half earlier, Sen. Mike Lee, of the same state, articulated an argument for why the articles of impeachment were legally insufficient to warrant President Trump’s removal from office.

Four years removed from Trump’s election, Utah continues to have a complex and unique relationship with him. Romney has been and will remain at the center of it.

In 2016 Utah was patient zero to the most fervent strain of anti-Trumpism on the right, and it materialized at the ballot box. Romney, who had won Utah by 48 points in the previous presidential race, delivered a major speech at the University of Utah urging fellow Republicans to deny Trump the nomination.

Many within state politics urged Romney to run as an Independent. Trump’s demeanor and bombastic persona ran afoul to the socially conservative, Latter-Day-Saint-dominated Utah electorate, and the people deserved a non-Trump/Hillary Clinton option. He declined, but the anti-Trump die was cast.

Interesting editorial as most reports are saying that Utahians are furious.  I tend to agree with this editorial.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

It won’t help his prospects, either.

When people consider also that here we have the governor of Massachusetts representing the people of Utah, they may start to see him in a different light.

Who was also born in Michigan, and father it's Governor.  Mittens is the ultimate carpetbagger.

Sorry @catfish1957 but here you don't know what you are talking about.  There are indeed some in the Church who will continue to support him just because he is one of them but there are many more who are more intelligent than that.

Never inferred that # to be a 100%, but I'd bet a few bucks that he'll get re-elected for that reason.

The Mormon Mafia makes him bulletproof in Utah. He will be in office there until the day he dies,if he wants,regardless of what he says or does.

As long as he doesn't denounce Mormonism,that is.

NOPE! Not even if his family history was part of the traditional Church which it is not.

The many Mormons in AZ did not save Jeffy Flake.  He peaked at 18% approval since Trump was elected, and saw the handwriting on the wall.  He would have voted for Conviction along with Mitt, which means there is virtually no difference between hm and the current Rat Senator sitting in his old seat..

For a few hours there, I was getting warmed up to that little bi-sexpot but she blew it by doing a 180 and voting to convict.  She was good at the SOTU speech, for a Rat.
