Hoorah for Mitt Romney. As a lifelong Republican and a former chair of the Salt Lake County Republican Party, I am delighted that we finally have a member of our delegation who isn’t afraid to stand up against our dictatorial president.
Mr. Trump constantly displays a lack of character: No one (including heads of other countries) can believe what he says because he changes his tune so often, calls people names (a very juvenile behavior), attacks the character of anyone who disagrees with him, and proudly proclaims his willingness to hurt the country and everyone in it by shutting down government if he doesn't get his way, thus employing the tactics of a blackmailer.
Sen. Mike Lee has become a big disappointment, as he not only criticized Romney for speaking the truth, but he constantly bends over backward to kowtow to the president. And he does the people of Utah a disservice by campaigning against SB 54.
Contrary to what Lee may think, the majority of Republicans in Utah are not part of the "far right" but are more moderate than those people controlling the party at this time.
