Donald J. Trump has vowed to turn blue states red in November, but as he continues to rattle Republicans with his combative style and provocative proposals, voters in some of the countrys most conservative strongholds are considering a radical idea: supporting Hillary Clinton.
The dilemma posed by this years choice of candidates is perhaps most apparent here in Utah, the mountain state that has not backed a Democrat for president since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. More than 50 years later, a large Mormon population with a strong distaste for Mr. Trump has left the state up for grabs, and with a substantial Mormon presence spilling into places such as Arizona, Idaho and Nevada, what would normally be a Republican safe zone could be surprisingly competitive.

So sayeth the NY Pravda.
If true, then mormons, stfu and embrace Hillary. Justify that one to your Kolob god.
Yeah, every good Mormon prefers the evil Mrs. Bill Clinton.
Bwa ha ha ha ha...
Hi JR. I used the word sayeth yesterday for the first time in years.
Who is this “we” of whom you speak, FReeper person?
There has been NO Romney support from me since he set his minions upon Sarah Palin in 2008. Never will be. Argue with me at your own risk of disappointment.
Don't insult Pravda. They would at least dare criticize the politburo once in awhile.
Shame on them if they can not vote Trump and vote for Hillary....with how she is against religious freedom, they are matching to their doom
It has little to do with Trump.
The Mormon leadership is quietly telling followers to vote for Hillary.
I don’t know why but it has NOTHING to do with Ted Cruz.
Probably has everything to do with the CA gay shakedown of UT.
Pelosi and Reid are calling the shots on this one.
NYT again.
Hey, let’s do a side by side of Clinton’s sins and Trump’s sins.
Dear NYT:
Who has killed, or has caused to be killed more people?
Clinton or Trump?
Methinks the Mormons will figure it out.

I don’t see Utah voters voting for Hillary in large numbers, but do see how Johnson could run strong in Utah. However, Johnson will pull a lot of votes from Hillary, maybe even more than from Trump.
Keep in mind, it is Utah and they only have six Electoral College votes.
That’s a drop in the bucket and Trump will not need Utah as he could win, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Virginia and North Carolina.

...and Americans had a bad taste for their LEFTY Mormon in 2012....sheesh.
The next Mormons that darken my doorstep will be told off.
Morons: Cutting off their noses to spite their face. Trump will be a champion of religious freedom. Der Hildebeast will be a killer of religious freedom.
Folks, there needs to be a toxic waste cleanup program. The misinformation spewed out on the political landscape by egomaniacs like Cruz, Bush and Romney is being recycled by the Clinton machine. We need to neutralize the fuel they use to carry our nation into generations of socialist tyranny. To those Latter Day Saints, pay attention. They will attack the Constitution and your pride will be your undoing.
Proverbs 13:10: “Where there is strife, there is pride,
but wisdom is found in those who take advice.”
“More than 50 years later, a large Mormon population with a strong distaste for Mr. Trump has left the state up for grabs, and with a substantial Mormon presence spilling into places such as Arizona, Idaho and Nevada, what would normally be a Republican safe zone could be surprisingly competitive.”
That doesn’t make any sense.
NY Times writers are morons.
Now this is hilarious! Four years ago being Mormon was like being in a Satanic cult. But today, NYT is best friends with the Mormons.
