Big news! LDS I don’t agree with Theologically, but they are conservatives that I am happy to ally with. They are social, and many fiscal conservatives as well.
(Romney’s biggest problem, IMO wasn’t that he was Mormon-it’s that he was an Establishment RINO that wasn’t interested in taking the fight to Obama the WAY HE NEEDED TO).
Agreed. Romney bought the gop run to the middle and kiss bambi.
For all who thing Utah will fall for Trump once he goes there, you forget Trump is all over the news. If I never see him it will be too soon. They like me would never take their kids to hear him swear and call names for an hour. Culture wars are losing to trumpees too.
Romney? Fight? Obama, where? After he won, or only during the campaign?
Romney's biggest problem was that he was fighting the same fight as Obama. He said one thing, but exhibited the opposite -- Romney wanted all the same government tyranny, from environmentalism and the gay agenda, to nationalized health care and tax-funded abortion, a different version of just as much government. Screw that.
See my tagline. A surprising number of people know it's true. And Romney lost. Amen.
Utah will be interesting.
Everyone thinks Utah is soooo conservative but for the record, the only member of rep/senator of Utah who voted against the Omnibus was Mike Lee. All others Hatch, Chaffetz, Love and Stewart got in line to vote for that bill.
The LDS Church came out to condemn Trump on the immigration issue, especially since Latin countries provide many of their “new recruits” and temple growth. Senator Hatch is actually demented yet people here keep voting for him. Its disgusting.
Salt Lake City is loaded with RINOS but down south is truly conservative. The Rubio campaign grabbed our state speaker, Greg Hughes, who is actually awesome and Mia Love for the Rubio campaign committee.
In the general election, Trump would win here but in the primary, I am not sure. WE have few delegates anyway. The Northern Utah RINOS did not like our caucus system and mounted the “Count our Vote” campaign, which is to have our Republicans voted for in a primary rather than a caucus so they can get rid of Mike Lee.
The Salt Lake Tribune is a left wing paper run out of New York City. You just can’t make this stuff up.
