But the leaked tape of Donald Trump bragging about groping and kissing women without their consent may have been the last straw for socially conservative voters in this heavily Mormon state.

This sort of story ran about 6 weeks ago, but then Trump surged; hopefully, by election day, Trump will be solidly in front once again.

Let me, as a resident of Utah, explain some things:

First off, The Salt Lake Tribune EDITORIAL department is very liberal...Romneys, Lees, Love, and others...

We think that the State passed a marijuana law secretly because that is the only way anyone in this State would admit voting for Hillary...so that being said, The Deseret News is a Mormon Newspaper, hardly anyone reads the ‘fish wrap’ it's on the same level as the New York Slimes and The Washington Compost...

Right now they are resurrecting this Egg McMuffin Romney puppet because the ‘Holier than Thou’ Mormons can't vote for Trump because he said the word ‘pussy’ and they can't vote for Hillary because she is gay, a killer, a liar, a thief, and she supports killing babies before they are born, and she is a bosom buddy to Huma and her mother who believe in cutting out little girls parts...so they are backing Egg McMuffin because he is a graduate of Brigham Young University, you see...

The LDS church leadership supports open borders, illegal immigration. No way they ever supported Trump since early on he said he would build a wall and deport illegals.

Not all Mormons support open borders and illegal immigration but the leadership in SLC sure does.

Privately I have had many Mormons tell me they are voting for Trump, even since the tape came out. Of course those I know don’t live in Utah so possibly those in Utah are more inclined to vote the way they are told.

Their moral posturing covers up their reality that they are only about Money. Half of Vegas is Mormon owned. And Wendover isn’t making its cash from northern Nevadans.
They will follow the crony road with Hillary.

They are corrupt.

Hillary’s whole presentation is the Holier than thou, Pious affect.

So I can see other’s living a lie joining up with her.

Meanwhile, last election Mormons considered anyone who didn’t want to vote for a Mormon to be a horrible bigot. Hypocrites. They may vote their religion but no one else is allowed that choice.

Even if Trump were leading in the polls, 6 electoral votes are nothing to sneer at.

They could mean the difference between victory and defeat.

It is very much in play. Poll yesterday had Trump and Clinton both at 26%, McMullin at 22% and Johnson at 14%. I know a lot of people in Utah and it is very much in play with the LDS. Ex LDS are either Clinton or Trump.

That’s insane. Because some people said they changed their minds(even though they didn’t) we’re supposed to believe it’s in play.

And if we do lose them, we probably lost the race anyway so who the #### care about them and their 6 electoral votes.

Besides, what would one have us do?

Cry and tremble and gnash our teeth. Whatever the #### is gonna happen is gonna happen.

For those so ####ing worried, donate another 20. make calls for him.

The Mormon church does not want the flow of illegal aliens interrupted.
Seems there followers are very good at following orders.

If they succeed in costing Trump the election, they better have magic underwear.
