They don’t have distaste for Trump any more than their Bishop Mittens tells them to have. Magic Underwear of a feather are traitors together.

Need to take tax free status away from LDS if They play politics like this.

the unelected DC ruler class are freaking out that voting counts.

Does anyone know how useful idiot Mormon voters are in obeying the effete?

It has been said here in Utah, Trump will win...the heart of the Republican party will gather and have influence...

Romney is a joke in Utah now, after backing Lyin Ted; then supporting Gary Johnson, who uses weed and other things; and the people here do not like Hillary, I think the only people who do are the LGBT people like the Mayor of Salt Lake City...

I think, IMHO, Trump will win...after taking the delegates away from Cruz (all 40 delegates went to Trump on the RNC convention floor) I don’t believe they would try fraud again and besides, Bernie skunked Hillary here in the primaries...

I don't live in Utah but the Mormons I know are all voting Trump.

I do think it's more than just a little hypocritical for some "conservatives" that hate/despise Mormons, even calling them cultists, expect Mormons should support their candidate.

The Mormon leadership is quietly telling followers to vote for Hillary.

Please document that claim. I suspect it's just your opinion. I'm LDS and voting for Trump. I'll have to ask my neighbors if they are getting any "quiet" direction as they don't bother to put up campaign signs up for much of anything.

You mean like Evangelicals and Catholics?

As far as I'm concerned catholic might as well be spelled D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T-S

This is just a way of distracting everyone from the voter fraud that is being conducted in order to steal the election for the Hildebeest.

“Agitprop. Why spread it?”

To get all other religious people angry at Mormons so that Trump’s vote totals are depressed. Mormons and other Christians will agree on 90% of everything when it comes to life, the universe, and everything, but if the New York Times gets their way, other Christians will convince Mormons that they’re evil and they’ll simply sit at home or vote for Johnson.

I wish people would quit buying the media garbage they are spewing. So what if Trump is down 10 points right now (not likely) and trailing a bit in Utah (very very very unlikely) ... wait for the campaign to actually start before you buy into media garbage. If Trump catches fire, you’ll laugh at articles like this one. They’re going all in for Clinton ... don’t let people you know buy into their narrative. If Trump weren’t a threat, we’d all be reading boring articles right now.

The Mormon church is all in for the illegal alien inundation.
They are for amnesty and open borders.
That is an anti-American and anti-rule of law stance.

I don’t know why but it has NOTHING to do with Ted Cruz.
*************************

It has everything to do with amnesty and open borders.
