Sorry, but every Mormon I know loves Trump. No question that Romney uses his faith as a cover, and I’m sure his “have to follow my conscience” line will work on some Mormons, but you can find easily fooled people anywhere.

The real focus should be on Romney’s connections. And I don’t mean to the LDS Church.

Partner, Romney is very vindictive and I stand by this account. He is a jerk and he will be left out as the Senator in Utah.

Partner, I agree 100% with your assessment of Romney. Great job and great post.

Again, Trump only took 45% of the 2016 vote in Utah. They do not like his “moral shortcomings”.

So, let me get this straight. They didn't like Trump's morals -- so they voted for the much more moral HILLARY?

Oh my god that is a disgusting statement by Mormons of all people! Geesh, Joseph Smith was a child molester and polygamist...basically just an all around criminal and a liar on the run from the law for much of his pathetic existence. These people have no grounds to call out others for morality crimes!

Joseph Smith was a fraud. The reason the Mormon “church” supported multiple marriages is that Joseph Smith was screwing every wife in the congregation. When confronted, he defended himself by saying that he was God’s true prophet with a direct line to God and that God had ordained that men should have multiple wives. Of course, the other men in the “church” thought that was a pretty good idea. Mormonism is a bizarre cult. Eff Romney!

No, that stat is misleading. There was a third party candidate from Utah (only on the ballot in a few states) that got 20-some percent of the vote in Utah. Hillary only got 27% there.

Whatever happened to what we heard in Bill, the rapist, Clinton's presidency that what a man does in his personal life has no bearing on his ability to hold public office?

They are separate from each other and he can still be a good president and make good decisions, even when he's sexually assaulting someone in the White House.

No, they hated Hillary too. 21% of them voted for Evan McMullin, who received a whopping 0.5% nationally. It was the Mormon’s way of casting a vote for a fellow Mormon, and a “protest vote” against Trump.

He bought the seat this time. Don’t expect it to happen again.

I was surprised there was even a first time. What kind of moron is suckered by the Bishop, anyways? Shakes head....

I agree...Salt Lake has been electing Rat mayors for decades. I believe there has been a Rat mayor since 1976. The rest of the state is primarily GOP. A guy like Romney suits the greatest percentage of the population. He is Rat enough to satisfy Salt Lake, and GOP/Mormon enough to satisfy the rest. He would probably be reelected in 2024, if he runs. In my experience, Mormons are polite and mostly mild-mannered, Trump must rub some of them the wrong way.

I’m deeply unsettled about how much of an idiot you are. Your Con Job is ridiculous and based solely on religious bigotry and hatred.

Mitt Romney is a person without any principles of any kind, variety, and description. He’s called Etch A Sketch for a reason.

I don’t hate anybody.
I pray for the deluded followers of Joseph Smith and Mad Mo.

Your an idiot ....the Mormon religion is not based on plural mairrage .... in-fact, they haven’t even practiced it for 140 years ....

Is there a problem with the Christian religion also (of which the LDS Church is a part of) ...

Afterall ... God is the Father of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob .... two of the three confirmed polygamist!
