We’ll see how Utah Republicans vote in the primaries...
Utah loves Mitt, not strictly because of his politics, or his Mormonism, but because of what he did for the state in saving the Olympics and the state’s perception worldwide. He is well loved there. I have no doubt they will vote for him in the primaries, for many reasons. Not all think he’s a liberal like you do or many on this site do.
It’s pretty easy of you to make such a call, but you need to compare apples to apples.
