Mittens not a shoe in

Mittens Romneycare has two signature performances thus far. He is having trouble getting a third. His health care disaster in massiveclueless was often pointed at during the 2012 election in which he assured Barry Soetoro a second term. Two serious strikes for the man, but when he announced his intent to run for Senator from Utah to replace Orin Hatch, President Trump extended the olive branch and gave him an endorsement.
In typical never-Trump style, the rino loser stated matter of factly that he has reservations about reciprocating the endorsement. That may have struck a nerve with the folks in Utah where Mittens fell in the party convention to state Senator Kennedy, 51% to 49%. Had either man secured a 60% rating, the voters would not have been offered an option. Instead, voters have a choice. A doctor with a record of serving the public and working to improve health care, or a carpet bagger who is so liberal he made Barry the incompetent seem, well, competent. Romney is the establishment go-to guy when the communist democrats get too unpalatable and McInsane is unavailable.
Utah went strongly republican in nearly every presidential election prior to 2016. In 2016 President Trump garnered a mere 45.54% of the vote. Part of that may have been due to the fact that Never Trumper Evan McMullin is a naive err native. In any case, that blurp may be why Mittens decided to go West.
President Trump has offered several endorsements to establishment rinos. Most have failed as we saw in Alabama where nobody wanted to cast a strange vote.
With a staggering number of rinos choosing to exit government and join lobby groups, 2018 is an open play book. It is hard for the party of the sitting president to win in the off year. This election is made harder by the bailing of so many long term names. That is not a bad thing since they were for the most part as never Trump as mittens.
Expect to see massive spending by the uniparty to oppose Kennedy both in the primary, and especially if he whips Romney, watch the money in the general. Republicans don't want to win in 2018 because they want all the things the rank and file oppose. From lyin Ryan on down, they are puppets of the uniparty and the chamber of communists.
From my porch it appears this desertion is so they don't have to play ball with President Trump and can let him fight and argue with the establishment's communist wing. These people do not care about the will of the people. They are determined to bring America to it's knees. Lets hope the folks in Utah send another clear message to the establishment and let them keep Romney in the public sector.
