The only other thing I'd point out is that 53% for Cruz is a high expectation to live up to and will be looked at as poll manipulation if he doesn't reach that when the vote is tallied.
That can only harm Cruz going forward and he doesn't need more of that.
I've always said the same thing "Oh, you're the ones that can have a bunch of wives. Now, please leave."
No surprise for the cult state.
This Mormon Prophecy BS will work in Utah and cost Cruz and Stabby Beck votes in the rest of America!
Glenn Beck Channels Mormon Prophecy in Utah for Cruz: ‘Body of the Priesthood’-’Constitution Hangs’

“I want to speak to you about something that may be controversial. And it’s not something that I have said when I have been out for Ted [Cruz] and now Mike [Lee]. But it’s something that this crowd needs to hear – that Utah needs to hear. The body of the priesthood is known to stand up when the Constitution hangs by a thread,” Beck said. ...
“I joined many times. What held me through was the prophesy that the Constitution will hang by a thread, and this People would remember what our Founders did. It is our responsibility to stand for the Constitution,” Beck said.
Ted Cruz and the audience then gave Beck a standing ovation.
The famous Mormon prophecy Beck was referring to is known as the “White Horse Prophesy,” which was purportedly made by the Mormon founder Joseph Smith in 1843.

This poll has strange numbers, all previous polls had Cruz and Trump much closer, okay now that Cruz is supported by Romney and other Mormons I can understand if Cruz moves up. What doesn’t make sense is Kasich gaining by so much in Utah. He was pretty low in all previous polls, it was Cruz, Trump then Kasich was barely in there.
Utah is going to have online voting so that should really increase turnout.
The Mormons I know all support Trump, in fact a woman I went to school with posted her support for Trump on Facebook the day after Romney announced support for Cruz. The other Mormons replying to her post all supported Trump too. I realize these people are not movers and shakers in the LDS, they are just ordinary people but seems odd when I hear Cruz has the Mormon vote tied in a neat package.
I do believe Cruz will likely win Utah, but I don’t believe the numbers will look like this.
It would be a mistake to nominate someone who can barely win 12% of the vote in a conservative state like Utah,
No doubt.
And it's the very last state he will even come close to winning.
Another good or evil Mormon in action! Dirty Harry Reid
EXCLUSIVE: ICE Whistleblower May Depose Harry Reid The Daily Caller ^ | 3-22-2016 | Evan Gahr Posted on 3/20/2016, 10:59:45 AM by smoothsailing
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid could be deposed for ICE whistleblower Taylor Johnson’s new lawsuit because complaints from his office precipitated her ouster.
Johnson’s attorney, Morris Fischer, told the Washington Gadfly that, “We will attempt to depose whoever is involved in this corruption up to and including Harry Reid. His fingerprints are all over the place.”
The veteran law enforcement agent, who DHS fired in February after she rejected $100,000 in hush money, filed a Merit System Protection Board claim against the agency earlier this month.
Johnson, a single mother of four, had a storied career until she ran afoul of Reid by expressing national security concerns about the EB-5 visa program for foreigners who invest at least $500,000 in American companies. One of the green cards she refused to approve was for a Chinese investor in the Las Vegas casino represented by Reid’s lawyer son, Rory.
After Reid’s office called her Special Agent-in-Charge Johnson was stripped of her gun and badge without explanation in 2013. Her frantic boss demanded to know why he was suddenly being threatened with congressional action.
Johnson’s complaints and objections from other whistleblowers were subsequently vindicated.
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General concluded in a March 2015 report that then-U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) director Alejandro Mayorkas improperly intervened on behalf of Reid for the Las Vegas SLS Hotel and Casino then represented by his son. Mayorkas, now DHS Deputy Secretary, also lobbied for companies tied to Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Rodham, and former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell.
In June 2015, Johnson testified in a nationally televised hearing about her troubles with the agency and concerns about the program. Although DHS spokesman officially told the media they could not comment about her particular case, it turned out the ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen was running a secret smear campaign against her with the full knowledge of Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs. The attempt to discredit Johnson is now under investigation by the Senate Homeland Security Committee and the DHS Office of Inspector General, which both have interviewed this reporter about his encounter with Christensen.
Johnson’s actual MSPB complaint is confidential. But Fischer explained the legal issues at play based on information already in the public realm.
ICE gave shifting and obvious bogus rationales for why they needed to cut her loose, he explained. First, they claimed she made hundreds of improper calls to a confidential informant.
Except it turned out the calls were actually to Johnson’s mother. Then, they said she forged a document that said ICE dogs in 2011 had not detected drugs in a car crossing the Mexican border that it was later determined contained them.
They made her take a handwriting test. But it concluded she did not fill out the form.
Johnson, who set up a gofundme.com page for legal costs, was finally dismissed for lack of candor. The actual contents of her Merit System Protection Board lawsuit are confidential.
DHS needs to prove she was not fired for testifying before Congress and would have been dismissed regardless of her objections to the visa program.
Good luck with that.
ICE never objected to Taylor’s conduct regarding the 2011 border operation until after Reid’s office complained about her.
“There shouldn’t be surprises regarding Taylor’s retaliation,” said Fischer, who has garnered lucrative settlements and jury verdicts for other clients harmed by DHS. “This case will not be won through a lot of dazzling and unexpected litigation maneuvering.”
“This is blatant retaliation and we don’t know what the full extent of the Senate Committee’s investigation and our litigation will produce. There may be one gazillion surprises with respect to how corrupt the whole thing was.”
Let Cruz take Romneyland.....and Glen Beck too.
“Trump, meanwhile, has launched a last-minute TV ad campaign against Cruz, spending roughly $160,000 on TV ads ....”
Guess Donald’s tweets, and free name recognition with the liberal media isn’t working for Donald in Utah - he has to spend his own money.
Sorry Cruz supporters but your candidate is working with George Soros is attempting to STEAL UTAH from Trump. Gee why am I not surprised?
It’s on top left of Drudge Right now.
The Mormon symbol is the beehive.
The beehive symbolizes industriousness and initiative.
Neither of which has been exhibited by Lyin’ Ted or Krazy John.
Too bad—I thought Mormons were smarter than to choose Cruz or Kasich over Trump, which exemplifies their values far more than the Canadian imposter or the Ohioan Democrat.
