“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
When he was running for president, the Mormons I know were sure he was going to win, and that it would be a fulfillment of some Mormon prophecy.
