Long-time observer/participant in Utah politics here. The leadership of the LDS church loathes President Trump. I think their plan (”vision”) is that they are forming a regional power block to influence elections. Think Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho as a voting block. Just my two cents.
That’s good info, thanks. I doubt there are enough mormonites to have the much influence, but I live east of the Mississippi.
I agree. Romney is positioning his church here with the progressive agenda. Open borders in particular. I voted Romney. It gives me no pleasure to trash him. But he deserves it spades right now.
And if the progressive corportists who control the GOPe want war it is war they will get from the Trump voting GOP base.

I have NO doubt “The Brethren” put pressure on LDS members to vote for this clown, for no other reason than he’s a mormon and former mormon bishop!
Idiots!

My guess is they are upset about the illegal alien issue.
Yes which explains the congenial relationship between Reid and Romney despite the party differences. When I hear both Reid and Romney speaking from the same page, it’s their shared Mormonism talking. Party/shmarty...it’s Mormon triumphalism all the way baby....
Mormons try to play all sides against each other. The higher ups may display a “civil niceness” but money and temporal political power, the “man behind the curtain type” of power, are their twin gods!
Ps: love your screen name!
Thanks for posting... very interesting. I thought Trump won there easily, but I see it was pretty slim.

May I steal your identity word? It gave me a belly laugh. I can think of many occasions where that word can be used effectively.
