So as the superhero, which he is most definitely not, always says, "My job here is done."
Not a minute too soon.
The good news is with Hatch leaving the senate, the road is cleared for Mitt Romney to replace him. Now, in the past I've been somewhat harsh on old Mitt. But in light of the last election, and the dipshit currently destroying our country, democracy and every good, decent, compassionate social program and progress of the last fifty years, I'm reconsidering him in a whole new light.
And frankly, he may be more man than I initially thought (look closely—see what I did there?)
Utah isn't going to elect a democrat. It's just not going to happen. But Romney may be the next best thing, having said this about Trump:
"Here's what I know: Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He's playing members of the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House, and all we get is a lousy hat."
But wait, there's more.
"Dishonesty is Donald Trump's hallmark."
Spoken like, well, like anyone who's listened to the fake president talk for more than a minute.
I applaud Romney's take down, assessment and honest opinion of Trump. And short of a democrat getting elected (although Doug Jones in Alabama shows miracles can happen), I support Romney and hope he has the cajones to stand his ground once he's in the senate.
What makes me optimistic, a word I haven't used since January 20, 2017, is that Romney is already a billionaire. He can't be bought. And he's a strict Mormon. So I'm guessing there's not much chance he can be blackmailed (for reference see Lindsey Graham).
Although not fast enough, the midterms will eventually get here. Hopefully with them comes the sinking of this ship of fools controlling the government.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Goodbye Orrin Hatch.
And good riddance.
