The Utah republican primaries were rigged. It was voter fraud out in the open and in front of all our faces. This is bull that Utah hates Trump.

Of all the things to write about going on today, and THIS is what the Brookings Institute writes about? What universe does this happen?

Mormon voters, who make up the majority of voters in Utah, are perhaps the only conservative religious bloc in the country who are bothered by President Trump’s many infidelities and dubious business practices—Trump’s approval among Mormons trails behind white evangelicals by 14 points.


BOL. Mormons hate Trump because they want open borders.

Romney is a miserable, lying sleazebag who will say anything at all that serves his own personal interests at any given moment.

In 2012, when he wanted (and received) Trump’s endorsement for his doomed presidential campaign, he spoke about Trump in the most glowing, obsequious terms:

Romney thanks Trump for endorsement.

But in 2016, all of a sudden Trump was a liar, a con man and a failure as a business man.

As the above video shows, Romney doesn't have an ounce of integrity, and shouldn’t hold any political position or have any public presence whatsoever.

The presidential election would have to have been rigged too. Remember it was Utah that made that creep Evan McMullin a thing, and Trump ended up winning there with only 45.5% of the vote, vs. 72.6% for Romney in 2012.

Mormons are very pro-illegal. Utah is the only red state that gives driver's licenses to illegal aliens. It's that Mormon "welcoming culture" thing, I guess.

“This is bull that Utah hates Trump.”

Trump only got 45% of the vote in Utah due to Evan McMullen. Yeah Trump would have gotten 60% without McMullen on the ballot, but in Utah, people are Mormons first, Republican second. There in no bigger Mormon in America than Mitt Romney. If Romney gets elected, people there will side with him before they will with Trump

Mormons are far underrepresented in the military, and have historically not been the most loyal of Americans. They are very open borders.

Brookings wants Romney to be the new McCain.

If Romney does play the “McCain” role, walking both sides of the fence, he will not receive the support he will require from the party’s conservative base to win the nomination in 2020. Even if the insiders fix the race for Romney in 2020, he will loose to the Democrat. Conservatives have been burned by the false promises and duplicity of the Bush family, McCain, and Romney. They will stay at home, not voting for Romney or the Democrat opponent.

The RINO “vote for me, I am not as bad as my democrat opponent” campaign appeal to the voting base is not going to work in the future. Republican conservatives have been played for fools too long.

I would vote for Jeff Flake for President before I would vote for Mitt (Rhymes with ??) Romney for dog catcher.

I'd have to seriously think about that one.
