Is possible,but more likely they just don't like Trump.A divorced casino owner that dissed their homeboy Romney.He just doesn't appeal to devout Mormons.A friend that lives there sent me this news clip.Apparently they REALLY don't like Trump.

Romney and Jeb! are being brought out for a last gasp brokered convention.

While it is a step above calling for killing Trump, it directly opposes the will of the voters.

My guy is not very good and no one likes him, but that guy who is winning is at fault.

Utah voted Republican, and lost to Clinton, and Obama. When they win they get the two Bushs'.

That is not much of a track record.

"If you lose Utah as a Republican, there is no hope,"
Oh poohy. I think that's just a bunch of hog wash. Who needs little silly ole Utah anyway? The Don can still won. (Yes, I know it's" win" but that wouldn't have rhymed. Duh) :mrgreen:

I did.
It references a poll which are not definitive.

Those two are together out of mutual political benefit. They could both f**k out of wedlock in the same room and it wouldn't matter in the least to either.

Obviously they are in it for political gain,I doubt they even sleep in the same bed.
We will know who the Mormons want come November.

Even if it happened as described, these are caucuses. The truth of this matter is that they are not covered by voter laws as they are private functions of the political parties. If they wanted, a party could decide they want to use tarot cards or people at a shopping mall tossing plastic ducks in buckets to decide who the candidate for the party would be. Or even a small group of people getting together in smokey back rooms like they used to do only a few decades ago when every back room was smokey. This is America, and this is how we decide who will be on the ballot as Democrat, Republican or...well, really that's all that matters, right?

Caucuses are non-democratic, they're not representative of anything. Iowa works because of tradition and massive participation, most of these other states don't have that tradition and aren't use to being relevant in primary elections.

In Utah you had Mormon King Mitt Romney command them vote against Trump and the unstable Glenn Beck saying that Ted Cruz was the fulfillment of Mormon prophecy,

Whatever, the Mormon states are pretty much over.
