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.
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.
