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.

Looking at Jim Jones and David Koresh it is easy to see what Joseph Smith was after. Being a cult leader is like being a rock star, lots of adulation and women.
You can say THAT again !
“Looking at Jim Jones and David Koresh it is easy to see what Joseph Smith was after. Being a cult leader is like being a rock star, lots of adulation and women.”
All of the cult leaders have that trait I common, even Mad Mo with his islam.
Joseph Smith had at least 40 “wives” all at the same time
Brigham Young had 50+ wives and 80 children
the last polygamous Mormon “prophet” Heber Grant died in 1945 ..the prophet up to his death...
I think he outlived at least one of his wives
They say they won’t vote Trump now, but when it’s time, they’ll hold their nose for him.
Mia Love might lose over the division. She sold out anyway and narrowly beat a Democrat.
What I know about Mormons is that they love money and success. Something tells me they have a lot of respect for that and that they also want to prosper. Utah now can caucus on line. Maybe the Mo’s might actually vote how they think when in total privacy.
But they are fine with a vulture capitalist who tortures dogs like Romney or backstabbing snake like Orrin Hatch.
the Mormons don’t like liars like trump
I think if you want to make BS leftist comments like that you should go to the Daily Kos
Unfortunately Mormons are not trained think for themselves nor are they allowed to
They have to think what the prophet says to...
there is a saying When the prophet speaks the thinking has been done...
and Mormons adhere to that...
the computers on campus at BYU are all monitored 2n/7 by the powers that be even personally owned by the students computers are hooked up to that craziness...
and so on
there may not be many computers in Utah that are not spied on by Salt Lake City...
Plus if the Mormons are ordered to go to caucus they have to..
orders from the profit are orders from the Mormon gods...
I was thinking the same thing.
Mormons lie to non-Mormons just like moslems lie to non-moslems
its not a sin...
... but then the Mormons do like liars like Harry Reid.
Care to provide facts to dispute it, noob? Romney is a snake. His rep as a "job creator" is a ridiculous lie. Bain's record is crystal clear. They are a vulture capitalist firm that sucked jobs out of Massachusetts and elsewhere that ended up in China. And do you dispute what he did to his own dog? Disgusting.
What happened to all the young men who are cheated out of wives?
We’re sure lucky to have you and the English to tell us that conservative Beehive staters will vote for Her Heinous over Republican candidate Trump in the general ... why wait?
What percentage of Mormons are in the population of Utah?
