Mitt vs Hatch?

Post by _Maksutov »

Could there be a primary challenge? What would that look like? Would Utahans go for a vigorous independentish Mitt or a geriatric husk GA type Orrin? :eek:

In one of the pictures Orrin looks like he's isn't sure he'll make it down the steps.

In la la land, everything is a win for Drumpf, even when he loses. That's how he can declare bankruptcy several times and his lemmings will call him a success, for instance.

What you're hearing from Water Dog is what you hear from a person whose lips have been permanently sewn to Drumpf ass. If it sounds distorted, you have to remember that not only are his lips constrained by Drumpf's ass, but he's also trying to be heard while swallowing all of Drumpf's crap (part of why you shouldn't talk when your mouth is full).

Yes, Water Dog's posts are garbled nonsense, but you try being coherent with Drumpf's ass crack right in your face.

Don And Mitt are tight.

Seriously, Orrin in 83 years old, and wanted to retire. He'll be 89 if he lives through another term. And while wonderful advances are being made in gerontology, 89 is an age where most people have experienced some decline in mental abilities. I would imagine he's getting pretty sick of it all. You should never serve in politics past the average age of the First Presidency.

I keep waiting for someone to say 85 is the new 65. Right? Yeah, and 65 is the age you retire.

I would not have stated it quite as colorfully as you did, but I agree with you. I have even seen arguments defending the flat earth hypothesis that seem more logical than Water Dog's arguments. I can't help but believe that even most Republican leaders recognize how corrupt and incompetent Trump and his chosen appointees are, but they are so under the thumb of their wealthy, corporate donors and/or so corrupt themselves that they couldn't care less how damaging their policies are to any who are not already part of the super wealthy elite.

Which is why there is no point arguing with him. When someone comes to the table as a Drumpf supporter, you might as well walk away, because what's about to come out of their mouth is guaranteed to be utter nonsense.

I will state it plainly: There is no reasonable defense of Drumpf. He is the most obviously indefensible human being ever to be elected to public office. If you decide to defend him, you've essentially given up your credibility with respect to assessing reality. I have as much respect for Drumpf supporters as I have for flat earthers. They're too dumb to argue with; they've done nothing to earn anyone's attention or serious consideration, except as a case study in Shared Delusional Disorder.

Hatch said he would step aside if Romney decides to run for his Senate seat.

I just wonder which Mitt will show up if elected. The Center Right Mitt from Massachusetts or the Neo-fascist Mitt from Utah.
