The aversion to Donald Trump is so strong among Utah Mormons that if the Republican frontrunner secures the party’s presidential nomination, it could produce a general election outcome that has not happened in half a century: the state could go blue.
“The Bible says if you’ve got a wicked leader, the nation suffers,” said Chris Herrod, a former Utah state representative and a Utah campaign coordinator for Ted Cruz. “I’m not saying Donald Trump is wicked, but for most Utahns, the moral character of a leader makes a big difference.”
At the state’s high-stakes GOP caucuses on Tuesday, political experts say many conservative Mormon voters like Herrod will be motivated by their distaste for the real estate billionaire’s vulgar style, bombastic comments and outlandish anti-immigration policies – fueling an “anyone-but-Trump” mentality that has spread across the political spectrum in the very red state.
A new Deseret News/KSL poll found Trump would lose to Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders in Utah, while Kasich or Cruz would both win the state by sizeable margins against either Democrat.

No, they’ll vote Trump, but they won’t toast the vote with root beer.
These so-called conservatives are not bothered by Hillary’s questionable character.
That says it all.
“The Bible says if you’ve got a wicked leader, the nation suffers...”
So you elect Hillary Clinton? Are you f*(&ing kidding me?
So they are gonna vote for Hillary instead because she has such high moral character??
Or Romney’s.
Or Glenn Beck.
That’s fine. That is why we are a Republic. Each state is its own little country and they can live and do what they want in Utah. They just shouldn’t expect we want one of them for a President any time soon.
Love ya, but no.
I think that We can thank Cruz, Beck and the GOPe and their tens of millions of dollars of negative ad campaign and lies for this current negativity.
Because he has (had) three wives ?
Because he made lotsa money? How about Romney, how about Marriotts, how about Huntsmans, etc ?
That’s not the Utah I know. It’s simply losers like Romney talking.
You nailed it ..more Cruz propaganda
An item of interest to attest to the character of some of Cruz’s most devious backers :
Same people who treated Blacks as less than human for 140 years, give or take.
Not much. Mitt Romney’s friends do not command much respect.
Maybe the common Mormon needs to revolt against their elitist leaders.
That would make Trump a good Mormon.
Serial monogamy is bad?
Who gives a damn when Trump puts at least FL, PA, MI, and OH in play?
Some of these articles are so incredibly lame, and the day before primaries are the worst of all.
Exactly why I had a very hard time voting for Romney especially after my Pastor’s remarks. I can usually judge for myself but in Romney’s case it was hard to not listen to my Lutheran Pastor.
How would you rate Hillary less wicked than The Donald?
If Utah votes for Clintoon, the treasonous criminal, Utah will not see many Trump voters for the next 8+ years. They will Macycide the entire state and its products.
