1. Orrin Hatch is a lame duck.....

He don't give a shit.

5. ...

I've despised him since the Anita Hill hearings when he said that they should end so the women could go back to watching their soap operas.

8. Smart money says Mitt Romney is a shoe-in replacement, but.....

It looks like Orrin hatch is now waffling about retiring.

Romney Senate bid in 'holding pattern' until Hatch decides whether he's retiring


SALT LAKE CITY — Two of Mitt Romney's closest friends said Tuesday there should be no doubt that he's serious about running for the Senate, but nothing's going to happen until Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, decides whether he's retiring.

"I think at this point, Mitt is just waiting on the senator," said Kem Gardner, a real estate developer who helped talk Romney into taking over the then-troubled 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City nearly two decades ago.

John Miller, another longtime friend who was a top fundraiser for Romney's presidential bids, said he spoke to the 2012 Republican nominee for the White House on Monday about the Senate race.

"Is he going to do it? I think there's a good chance. Could he change his mind? Yes," Miller told the Deseret News. "He's doing what he has to do, and that's give it some serious consideration."

Miller said, however, "Hatch has got to make a move, too."

9. Sigh, he's no better.

But I don't really expect a Democrat to win in Utah.

2. What you saw was the real Orin Hatch.

He is a Vindictive Asshole. Played a prank on one of his Romney fund raisers,took my Jacket off to expose my Utah Dems T-shirt. Talk about a Guy who went nuts. Cost me twenty bucks,but what a memory.

3. He is trying to stop partisan politics

but in fact he is solidifying it even more. It seems to me that he may be frightened a bit...he protests too much in my opinion.

4. Tough thing to face all the evil he's backed over the years

as his "career" comes to a close. Lots of projection going on.

6. Assholes do asshole things.

That is all.

7. Somebody such told Orin Hatch that.....

he became rich from those donors who lined his pockets with gold!

10. Its tough to be a Repub these days.

What with Mueller making things tense for anyone associated with tRump, tRump’s just being tRump, legislative debacles and Roy Moore. Things are just not going well in the swamp these days.

So it’s no wonder he woke up with a burr under his saddle today. .

11. Grumpy guys use outbursts to establish dominance.

See: GOP.

12. He didn't have anything factual to answer Brown with

So he got pissy, and had to resort to his lower middle class upbringing. (Of course, that was a long time ago. Nowadays, Hatch wears tailored suits that could have paid a year's rent for his family when he was a young un.) Sadly, for all the things that Brown supposedly got wrong, Hatch didn't have the time mention even one.
