Mitt Romney attack ads are back. The failed presidential candidate is competing in Utah’s Senate Race and voters have the same problems with him that they had before. Namely, that’s he’s a manipulative RINO (Republican In Name Only) who can’t be depended on.
“The D.C. establishment loves Mitt Romney. But Utah voters have a better choice. Larry Meyers,” the attack ad begins.
“Flip-flopper Mitt has been all over the map. On issues like the Second Amendment. On issues like life. And the last time Mitt Romney was elected, he stuck the country with the blueprint for Obamacare… Utah voters have a choice. Mitt Romney’s liberal Massachusetts values or qualified, conservative Larry Meyers.”
Larry Meyers is a staunch Republican. He’s the longshot candidate, experts predicted that Romney would win the Senate before the former Massachusetts governor announced that he was running.
“He’ll enter as a freshman senator much different than the typical freshman senator,” Utah Gov. Gary Herbert said.
“He will have a lot of cache, national exposure, he’s a personality in politics, he’s a leader in the Republican Party, and so he won’t be just your typical freshman senator. I expect that the leadership in the Senate will understand that and appreciate they have an opportunity to bring somebody into the leadership roles in the Senate that can help them get their agenda done.”
In fact, Gov. Herbert believes that Romney will instantly become one of the most powerful Senators in Congress. He even predicted that Romney would replace Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
“That kind of skill set and talent is what’s needed in the Senate today and I think he’ll fit the bill,” Herbert said. “I think not only will he have an opportunity, but he’ll be encouraged by those in the leadership and those in the Senate to put him in some prominent roles, which could lead him into a leadership role, eventually, in the Senate.”
First, however, Romney needs to win the upcoming Senate race. Larry Meyers believes that there’s a good chance he won’t.
