I think it could have been pretty horrific if that mob had got their hands on a congress person. No sane American should want that.

Trump's political affiliations in chronological order:

Democrat

Republican

Democrat

Reform

Democrat

Republican

The former president is not a Republican, he is not a conservative. He used the R label because the R voters are more gullible, it's the party that surrendered the stage to him. Romney is 1000% times more conservative than the former president as are most Americans.

Utah GOP announced they would live with their 2 Senators.

Only GOP controlled state with wise leadership. Not controlled by Trump sycophant's, who believe in one man and not the Constitution.

What a horrible thought. Heaven help us all if we can't come up with better candidates than those two next time around. Two entrenched establishment, government-power-tripping people. One who outwardly says he's better than everyone else, and one who pretends she's just an oppressed ghetto girl. Ugh.

More theatrics from the left.

One guy had a baseball bat and all were about to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this was a BLM or antifa 'protest' the media and dems would claim it was peaceful.

Let's look at the riots the dems endorsed and the violent domestic terrorists Harris and Biden admin baled out of jail. How many people were in fear of their lives. How many people die or suffered permanent injury? did you not hear their words calling for and promoting violence..oh that;s right you never watched FOX. Unless FOX dubbed their speeches, the dems call to violence is out there for all to see, but not on CNN or msnbc.

To know pretend mitt, et al was in existential danger is delusional.

How many were killed because of the hate and fear mongering and endorsement of BLM by democrats and media???

A known planned attack that had nothing to do with trump. As if anything trump said was going to affect their actions. the thousands that did march and support trump were peaceful and went home. The guys who entered the capitol, not attacked the capitol were allowed to proceed by the capitol security led by Pelosi. If mitt was in danger be sure to confront pelosi.

How is the capitol, the home of lying insurrectionists, disguised as lying congressmen and senators so sacred a place in comparison to homes and business the dem controlled states and cities allowed to be destroyed. Portland was under siege by domestic terrorists and dem convention never even mentioned the riots! So ask the dems why they allowed citizens in Portland to be murdered and businesses burned

Four years of lies , persecution and prosecution and we are to forget that insurrection? It is to go unpunished???

Like saying bernie is responsible for the repub legislators shot while playing baseball.

Mitt has demonstrated himself to be a creature of the swamp with no vision or leadership qualities long before this latest act of political revenge. A weasel best describes Mitt though an insult to a weasel.

Q is strong in this one^

Unlike Trump, Romney has ethics and believes in God.

So does the Pope. Doesn't mean he'd make a good president. I'd rather have Yang or Bernie than Romney, and I'm a Republican (sort of). In fact, I'd have been very tempted to vote for Bernie in 2016 rather than write in like I did. Too many posters on this particular forum always miss the huge number of Americans who want someone OTHER than the long career, establishment politicians. We know we don't get any meaningful change from them. It's why more than a few Bernie bros. threw their vote to Trump in 2016.

Some Utahns have a dislike of Romney even though he's Mormon because he's too unlike them; rich, arrogant, seen as a Coastie.

I have no idea what will happen - there are too many different factions in play here. I can say what I HOPE will happen - that Mitt gets the boot. He's a douche, vapid, and thinks he deserved the presidency based on nothing more than the fact that he's rich.
Didn't grow up there myself, but I lived in Utah for 7 years. What I've noticed is that a lot of the Republican types we know out there might vote for Trump, but they hold their nose doing it.

Trump is a complicated topic. He did a lot of the right things -- things that a Libertarian like myself never believed he'd see a Republican do. He was also a bully, a blowhard and a serial adulterer. I've been gone from Utah for 15 years now, so I can't say I know what they think of Mitt. Mitt Romney wasn't even on anyone's radar when I last lived there. You likely know better than me, but I do know a lot of Utah Republicans who really hate Donald Trump.
