Source: AP

Mitt Romney handily won the Republican primary for a Utah Senate seat Tuesday after toning down his criticism of Donald Trump as he looks to re-start his political career.

The former presidential candidate was the heavy favorite to win the primary in the race to replace retiring Sen. Orrin Hatch in Utah, where he's a beloved adopted son.

Dr. Kennedy ran a clear race. The Doc clearly avoided pointing out that Mitt is unfit.

My prognosis is, Pittens is about to get switch slapped.

Mitt has been a flip flopper of the highest magnitude. I suspect if Don has something he wants he'll be slobbering all over him like the rest of them.
