I love living in Utah but there are a few things that are embarrassing about this state. At or near the top of that list of embarrassing things about Utah is Orrin Hatch. Almost everything he does or says makes me cringe and embarrassed he is representing our state in any fashion.
 
The responses show why our political system is so corrupt. We all talk about Bernie or Trump, but when it's "our guy"...we don't care. Then we re-elect him. And do it again. And again.

But if you don't vote for our guy, their guy might win.

And the biggest obstacle to a viable third party. If you split the vote, then their guy can win with 30-40%. Best to just vote for our guy.

That basically moderates our political process, which is what most people bitching about a two party system tend to want in a third party anyway.

The main thing I love about politics is the inherent hypocrisy of it all. I don't really give a damn about the rest. I can adapt.
 
True Orrin Hatch Story that I just have to share:

When I was in 4th grade (circa 1986) Governor Norm Bangerter came to my Elementary School for an assembly. During the assembly, he tells a story of perseverance. The Cliff Notes version: The Bangerter family raised homing pigeons and Norm had a favorite bird amongst these pigeons. Well, Norm's bird fails to come back one day after being sent out on a flight. Norm gives up on the bird and 6 months later, guess who comes walking up the driveway with a broken wing? Little guy still made it home!

Now, the following year, it's announced that Orrin Hatch will be visiting our school for an assembly. I know what you're thinking, Bangerter and Hatch back to back? No way! Well I'm here to tell you, yes way! During the assembly, Hatch proceeds to tell the EXACT same pigeon story, except it's his family that owns the pigeon's and instead of it taking 6 months for the little guy to return, Orrin's bird was gone for 1 full year.

Needless to say, I still hold Hatch and Bangerter fully responsible for all of my political trust issues. You should have seen the looks on the faces of the school administration as Orrin launched into a ******** story not knowing that the entire school had just been fed the same exact ******** less than 12 months prior.

The pigeons walked home? Lol, not a chance. This guy has them both beat (2 years), but at least he doesn't claim the bird walked home.

Right. If we've learned anything from the Sanders/Trump phenomena, it's that people find establishment candidates too extreme. They want someone even wishy-washier than Hilary or Jeb Bush.
