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)

HARRY REID IS A PILLAR OF THE MORMON CHURCH.
Any questions about where Mormons stand?
For THIS Christian; False Teaching is NOT the 'lesser of two evils'!!!
“The idea that women secretly welcome the unbridled and aggressive sexual advances of powerful men...”
No where does Trump imply this.
Looking closely at the ‘caractors’, we can see the Joseph did manage to foresee the computer’s two button mouse.
I really do not care what they persist in their thinking. But, when they pretend to be so holy, and then worship money the way they do..
We are taught to warn them once, twice, and the third time wash our hands of them.
They aint EVER gonna kick Harry out of the Church. Why? Because 10% of whatever he steals means a lot to that bunch.

And we ended up with a closet moslem. Twice!
Let me help you: 'Oh the huge manatee!' should be 'Oh the hugh manatee!' Seriesly, goats got yer tongue?
They can’t; they have their directives from the “GREAT MYTH ROMNEY”.
This is madness.
The magic underwater has shrunk too tight obviously.
Mitt and the editors of the Deseret News should pull a repeat of the Jim Jones Guyana episode.
From a religion that insults and demeans women constantly.
Some of this has to do with Romney (Mormon) losing and McMullin (Mormon) running - they are hoping to get another LDS in next cycle so they want Hillary to win.
He had a doctor who performed abortions. Look it up.
And he did have all those wives, it is documented as is sexual contact. Polygamy was practiced as early as 1832.
Check out Mormonthink.com because your facts are way off.
Seems to imply that lying and criminal activity is with in their collective view— OK!!
We had gobs of FR defenders defending Mormonism.
Now that the Mormon elite leadership is openly campaigning vs. Trump, the several threads we have on this topic are lambasting Romney & his Mormon cult in almost 100% of every post...I don't see the Mormon defenders or those who used to come on FR to defend Mormonism (who weren't Mormons)...
The first plural wives were teens but he must have realized that was dangerous. A single girl getting pregnant by the prophet might have upset the new converts. Most of the women he messed with were married. If a married woman has a baby most folks would assume that it was begotten by her husband. Even her husband unless the time line was obviously off wouldn’t think otherwise. He also chose a few good looking but older women who were not likely fertile.
