Looks like some GOP have a plan in place to give anti-trump republicans a safe harbour

I was told Romney would replace Hatch and then he would run for the Presidency in 2020.

Lived in Utah for thirteen years,and as a outsider,learned first hand how that State operates. You just do not fill out the forms at the County Clerks office to run for any Political Office and be a successful Candidate. If you do not have the blessings of the local Bishophic,and the Priesthood,you are totally screwed. That is why Democratic Candidates outside of Salt Lake County have a ugly time getting elected. Said this before,you will most likely capture maybe 28-30% of the vote.

And Romney is Utah's anointed White Horse Candidate.
