The Saints have apparently changed their position from the time when Joseph Smith ran for president.

For 80 years, the Deseret News has not entered into the troubled waters of presidential endorsement. We are neutral on matters of partisan politics. We do, however, feel a duty to speak clearly on issues that affect the well-being and morals of the nation.
Accordingly, today we call on Donald Trump to step down from his pursuit of the American presidency.
In democratic elections, ideas have consequences, leadership matters and character counts.
The idea that women secretly welcome the unbridled and aggressive sexual advances of powerful men has led to the mistreatment, sorrow and subjugation of countless women for far too much of human history.
The notion that strength emanates from harsh, divisive and unbending rhetorical flourish mistakenly equates leadership with craven intimidation.
The belief that the party and the platform matter more than the character of the candidate ignores the wisdom of the ages that, "when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." (Proverbs 29:2)

Said by guys who want to be a god and rule other planets; and who are protected with magic underwear. Yep, we should listen to them.
But clinton’s morals are ok I guess?
In my opinion the Mormon Church should STFU.
In my opinion, the Mormon Church should be paying taxes. So what?
Does anyone realize that if Trump had made the exact same type of comment as a homosexual toward other men, he would be a shoe-in on the Left?
So Hillary would be better? Idiots. Fools. Devils.
“The idea that women secretly welcome the unbridled and aggressive sexual advances of powerful men has led to the mistreatment, sorrow and subjugation of countless women for far too much of human history.”
Good point, so let’s elect Hillary Clinton instead.
A-holes.
Romney is a Mormon, isn’t he? Just askin’. ;/
That is the corollary - Clinton is far worse.
Politics is about hypocrisy, more than anything else. Hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue. The “puritanical” MSM is heavily biased to the favor of the Clinton rapists and dares to even pile on by threatening those same powerless victims and victimizing them again. The media, as the once defenders of the weak and powerless, are derelict in their duty, and instead of challenging the fascist, psychotic tendencies of meglo-maniacal politicians, they have chosen to become their propaganda organ. The Clintons are at the bottom of this inferno, of the destruction of our culture, of the unbinding of the tyrants, of the unraveling of the world - look to the explosion of terrorism, of nuclear threats, of butchering tyrants, of millions of refugees, of weapons of mass destruction, of millions of illegal aliens, of everyday crime, of the spread of heroin, of the destruction of our police, of the division of our races, of the corruption of the FBI, of the politicization of every government institution, of the falsification of vital intelligence, of the failure to protect our soldiers to serve political ends, of the selling of fetal body parts, of the constant lying and the posturing to gain political power, of personal failure and lack of direction of young people - this is where these two demonic twins live, they destroy everything they touch - they rape, they kill, they make war, they lie - they are a plague on America and the world. The Devil is unleashed.
So it’s Mormons for Hillary now? Have they gone completely mad?
So why does the same standards they apply to Trump not apply to hitlary? They are not calling that evil rotten corrupt POS to resign.
You know what they say about opinions.
Yes. Mormons have been working against Trump from the beginning.
Wait ... you say I can't? He's dead?
Oh, well.
Guess I'm back to voting for Trump.
Trump for President.
Good one !!! The Pot calling the Kettle black !!!!
Who cares what heretics have to say!
The self-righteous indignation is stupid. They should be looking at hillary, and taking note of what she has done.
