I'm pretty sure most, if not all, states already have recall provisions for their federal representatives. And have had such provisions for, oh, decades now.

Given a choice between Mitt and HeelsUp Harris, in 2024, he could end up President.

I'm glad you asked. I voted for more R's that D's in presidential elections, I voted for Reagan, Bush 41 & Bush 43, and Romney. Those are my credentials!


I'm not a card carrying member of cult #45 so I guess that makes me a "lefty" in your world.

Hmmm. How did you come up with "1000%?

Utah was willing to vote for Trump, but more than any other state they voted for the alternative (Evan McMullin) in 2016. Utahns don't seem to exactly love Trump. They tend to be more socially conservative, which means that Trump the bullying manwhore is very off-putting to them. He does line up with them politically, but they'd rather have a good and decent human being for a president. Romney won't get primaried for his contempt and opposition to Donald Trump, though Utah might be the only red state where his seat would be safe.
So if Trump is, in your words a "manwhore", what does that make Biden, the hair sniffing, breast grabbing, Tara Reade finger f*c*ing Senator who is now PINO (president in name only)? If you are going after Trump's personal behavior, it's only fair we examine Biden's behavior with the same scrutiny. And what of VP Harris, the next president. There is a good reason her nick name is Heals Up Harris. That isn't rumor or innuendo. She made her way onto the political scene via sex with Willie Brown who was married and 30 years her senior at the time. Are not Harris and Biden equally as "whorish" as Trump allegedly is? Am I missing something here?

My opinion is they ought to remove the traitor from office. He does not represent Utah at large. That is his job. If he can't do his job, it's time to find a new one. I'm sure he could find a job with George Soros.

I'd vote for Vladimir Freaking Lenin before I'd vote for Romney. At least Lenin was honest about where he stood politically and his evil intent.

Mitt Romney Could Soon Pay the Price for Voting to Convict Trump

Some Utah Republicans are rumbling in disgust over Republican Sen. Mitt Romney’s vote to convict former President Donald Trump during Trump’s Senate impeachment trial.

“I’ve gotten phone calls and emails, and I’m seeing a lot of chat on Facebook that people want to do a measure of censure against Sen. Romney

https://conservativebrief.com/could-soon-pay-35096/
And here I thought 'cancel culture' was a terrible social scourge...

Federal officeholders cannot be recalled.

In U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton (1995), the United States Supreme Court ruled that states may not impose any qualifications for prospective members of the U.S. Congress stricter than those specified in the Constitution. The Constitution does not provide for recall of any members of Congress. Thus, any recall provisions which may be on the books are invalid.

Mitt Romney cannot be recalled. Barring resignation, death, or expulsion by the Senate, he will serve out his current term.

How is Romney who is a lifelong Republican a RINO, but Trump not?

Trump's political affiliations in chronological order:

Democrat

Republican

Democrat

Reform

Democrat

Republican

RINO is a pretty silly label anyway. Romney is conservative and voted with Trump 75% of the time.

No doubt plenty of Trump supporters quite strongly wanted Romney dead before Jan. 6.
