The aversion to Donald Trump is so strong among Utah Mormons that if the Republican frontrunner secures the partys presidential nomination, it could produce a general election outcome that has not happened in half a century: the state could go blue.
The Bible says if youve got a wicked leader, the nation suffers, said Chris Herrod, a former Utah state representative and a Utah campaign coordinator for Ted Cruz. Im not saying Donald Trump is wicked, but for most Utahns, the moral character of a leader makes a big difference.
At the states high-stakes GOP caucuses on Tuesday, political experts say many conservative Mormon voters like Herrod will be motivated by their distaste for the real estate billionaires vulgar style, bombastic comments and outlandish anti-immigration policies fueling an anyone-but-Trump mentality that has spread across the political spectrum in the very red state.
A new Deseret News/KSL poll found Trump would lose to Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders in Utah, while Kasich or Cruz would both win the state by sizeable margins against either Democrat.

Did someone say "wicked leader"?
I think it’s wishful thinking by the communist ‘Guardian’.
When they see the next ant-Trump add. They will vote Trump, especially the men. Utah goes Trump due to the stupid opposition that believe in the victimization of women. Poor Ivana!
Only a severely retarded moron would turn his back on freedom. Even if it is “reluctantly”. If Utah goes blue because of Trump, it never really was red.
These so-called conservatives are not bothered by lyin Cruse and back stabbing “the choker” Romney
I heard the speaker of the UTAH house tonight on Faux Bidness with a real conservative host, LOU DOBBS ( hasn’t been fired YET!!). Mr. Speaker said “ Much has changed in the last 24 hours” Let me tell you cruz is a Seven Mountain Dominionist. HE ABSOLUTELY IS!! CRUZ HE HATES MORMONS!!! They think Mormons are a CULT!! Ask THEM!!. Trump DOES NOT think LDS is a cult. TRUMP WILL PROTECT ALL CHRISTIANS!!
I think Mormons also put American Indians in some lesser category too? Anyone know for sure? I’ve heard that they discriminated against Indians as well as blacks. Not sure of the details though.
Hard to believe Utah votes for Hillary. If people are so concerned about moral and ethical character, they would really choose Hillary over Trump????
“moral character of “
Coming from Mormons is laughable. The cult of pedophilia and polygamy and the denouncement of Jesus as Lord and Savior. A book written by a horny perverted little bastard.
I have a distaste for Donald but I’ll crawl over broken glass to vote against either of the two commies that might be on the dem ticket.
I think we can safely say Glenn Beck’s little buddy will be doing three squares a day plus an after school snack if Trump is the GOP nominee. Nonetheless, Utah will hold its nose and pull the Pubbies lever.
Because Hillary wouldn’t be a wicked leader.
Mormons are sick of Ritt Momsey and his snake oil sales.
Trump may well get the jump in the Utah caucuses.
Sorry it’s Melania. To hard to keep up when you don’t have a television.

Donald Trump is a Good Man.. Too bad the hypocrites can’t see that.
“The aversion to Donald Trump is so strong among Utah Mormons”
Can’t imagine why...
Do they support Hillary/ Because that is who we are going to get
At least the Amish make good furniture, produce good crops for food and don’t try and take down a presidential candidate.
What a bunch of pathetic morons not Mormons. They would inflict all the evil of Hilary Hillary Clinton on the country because Truump is wicked?
Hilary is moral scum, and Bill??
Anyone who thinks that Hillary is less “wicked” than Trump is too darned stupid to be trusted with a roll of toilet paper. They’d put their eye out!
