So, It's Official. Mitt Romney Will Be The Only Republican Whose Grandchildren Won't Have To...

...change their names.

Every other Republican will get their wing nut welfare job when they retire. And they won't have to worry about being screamed at by deplorable at their town halls. But history won't treat them well. They'll go down in history as spineless, amoral cowards, who put party, tribe, and power before country and Constitution. Their grandchildren will be changing their names to avoid embarrassment.

But not Romeny's.

Frankly, I'm shocked. I never thought of Romney as being a man of courage and principle. I guess I was wrong.

Well done, Mitt. I'll never refer to you as 'Mittens' again.

not only is Romney not up for re-election in 2020 or 2022, Trump is not well-liked in Utah despite how reliably GOP they vote.

12. Yeah, but with the lowest % of the vote since HW Bush ... only 45%!

An Independent, Evan McMullin, garnered 21% of the total vote in Utah.

Trump also only got 14% in the Utah primary ... Ted Cruz crushed him with nearly 70% of the GOP vote.

Trust me, the Mormons are NOT (in general) fans of the guy.
