Ya if I were Phil Lyman I wouldn't concede either. I find it really hard to believe that girlie man Cox won anything after all we've been through in the past three and a half years...

Holding social media companies accountable when a Facebook lobbyist is your new AG? Interesting turn of events.

Let's talk about SB54 he signed into a senate bill where he bought his way on to the ballot. Had he not signed that bill, he would have never made it because he lost at the state convention. Phil Lyman got 67% of the votes. Cox didn't even come on stage for the 2nd talk because he was boo'd so badly on the first one. Utah, get it together, he bought his way with hundreds of thousands of dollars, that is a disgrace!

The primary just showed us how disconnected the primary system is from what mainstream Republicans want

Big mistake! Utah is going down. Utah could have done better.

What exactly do you mean by “going down”?

Utah is one of the best and most successful states in the Union under any number of measures. Sure, we have some work to do but going down? 🤷

@j.p9155 Go look at education, GDP, income, and employment rate and then ask again. You will have answered your own question.

Tell that to the 58% of people in the state who voted for him.

Not bad Gov, not bad. Air quality would be nice too though, at least a little bit?!
