They came in buses, from Utah and elsewhere, excited to help elect Mitt Romney in 2012. Spanish-speaking Mormon volunteers — former missionaries at ease making phone calls, knocking doors, and pitching strangers on the street — were a unique resource for the Republican nominee in the key southwest swing states. In East Las Vegas, a Latino working-class neighborhood where the Romney campaign opened the first Republican office, around 10% of the volunteers were Spanish-speaking Mormons, according to former Romney aides. Outreach efforts in Colorado were similarly infused with bilingual Latter-day Saints. Romney’s hardline immigration stance made the candidate a tough sell with Latino voters — but when the campaign ended, many in the party were hopeful that they’d tapped into a new longterm resource for the GOP. Instead, four years later, Mitt’s Mormon army is missing in action.

LDSers stabbing us in the back. We supported your loser in 2012 and we will remember the lack of support in 2016. By the way the article fails to mention Willard lost both CO and NV to Obama.

When I saw the headline, I thought it was about the Mormon Rep Mia Love.

Is it because Mitt supported, as do most Mormons and some other small denominations, a globalist view of the end times and they want in on it in positions of power? If so, Trump threatens that big time.

There are people who feel they must be right. Winning never enters their minds. Self righteous losers. Hillary and Huma are OK.

We will all find out someday that the Mormon church is also involved in the Clinton crime family corruption-especially Mitt.
They do not care, as long as some MONEY comes their way, its alright to sell your spirit for money, according to them.

Think on this. Why would that church allow a senator to continue his membership when he is as corrupt as anyone in DC? The answer is, it doesnt matter to them, as long as they get 10% of the money he steals from the rest of the Americans, they are fine with his corruption.

I got a lot of hate posts that day....

I’m glad to say that MANY Freepers have changed their minds since then.

Repentance is good for the soul.

Excuse me, but I think you’re mistaken.

I refused to vote for Romney, and I support Trump.
