[Ebsy]

All sorts of terrible.

[Zioneer]

Frank Moss was actually a really good senator, considering how conservative Utah is and was.

Mike Lee is the best Senator this state has ever had. No surprise the Republican elite there is attempting to remove him.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Hatch, followed by the Bennetts.

Mike Lee is the best Senator this state has ever had. No surprise the Republican elite there is attempting to remove him.

And they're failing at that. Still no interested primary challengers.

Excellent News!
