UT-Sen: Mitt Romney is exploring 2018 Senate run

[Maxwell]

if Romney runs, he's a shoe-in. That being said, I don't know if Romney understands what he's getting into - he's spent his whole life as an executive where he dictates the pace of things. The Senate is a very very very slow body. I can't imagine Romney as a lifer in the Senate.

As a Democrat who fully supported Obama in 2012, I know we're never getting UT (especially since our [literally] only plausible path has been negated by Huntsman's nomination as Russian Ambassador) so I'm a-ok w/ an (anti-Trump) Senator Romney

I wouldn't count on Mr. Romney as reliably anti-Trump.

You may not like Romney's politics but you have to respect him as a good and decent human being. The country needs more Romneys

Uh, no? I really don't, actually. Romney is relatively-passible in the context of Utah politics, I guess, but that doesn't negate the fact that he's a transparent sociopath like the rest of his ilk.

plus Romney was Trump before Trump. I truly despise Romney - not just because of his embrace of horrifying policies, not just because of his record as a corporate leech, but because of his moral weaknesses in that he could change his views on abortion and gay rights and a host of other issues at age 60 on a dime because it's more electable to do so.

You know what? Hatch is better than Romney.
