Conservative Mormons Revolt Against Donald Trump
Buzz Feed ^ | October 9, 2016 | McKay Coppins

Posted on 10/10/2016 8:02:24 AM PDT by C19fan

The leaked video of Donald Trump’s lecherous musings had only been on the internet for a few hours Friday when the Mormon backlash began. “I’m out,” Utah congressman Jason Chaffetz told a local news anchor in Salt Lake City. “I can no longer in good conscience endorse this person for president. It is some of the most abhorrent and offensive comments that you can possibly imagine.” The interview made Chaffetz the first Republican in Congress to officially retract his endorsement of Trump, and by next day he would be joined by dozens of his colleagues across the country. But in Utah, conservative Mormons were already mounting a wide-scale revolt against their party’s nominee — a repudiation so swift and severe that some GOP insiders believe the deep-red state could be thrown into contention in the final weeks of the race.

We held out noses in 2012 to vote for the Mormon now they it is our turn and they are stabbing us in the back. If Mormons don't vote for Trump on election day I will never support a Mormon candidate for office evah.

This from a group of people that approves polygamy.

Self-righteous any?

Just another opportunistic politician that is trying to elbow his way to the microphone to be certain he’s heard to say “me too, me too!” Chaffetz doesn’t have the brain cells to contemplate the fact the election is about President of the US, not the president of his religious cult.

Maybe they’ll go to their planet Kolab and live there with Joseph Smith’s 43 wives.

And yet, here in Utah,

Utah: Online Porn Capital of America?

http://www.pcworld.com/article/160566/utah_online_porn.html

The voters in Utah are very high consumers of porn. Seems to be a disconnect, no?

You have to understand these spineless ‘pink laced magic underware’ worthless idiots in this State...

Think they are so ‘precious and worthy’...they wouldn't know ‘balls’ if they were given a pair...

Righteous is for our Lord, NOT what they believe in Joseph Smith...haven't you ever wondered about the ‘fairy tale’ of the ‘golden plates’??? Think about this: even if those ‘golden plates’ were a hair thick, and with all of what Mr. Smith said there were, how would you lift them? I figured this out, it's impossible, oh and don't give me that ‘devine intervention’ crap...I believe God is the ONLY one that has that power, not some Eastern hick that took the Holy Bible and copied it in his own words to make the ‘Bible of the Mormon Church’...worthless bunch of cult people!!!

This, from the people who still think polygamy is ok.

They are trying to assure their own viability in Utah and vicinity. “I’m out” is ridiculous concerning someone who has never really been in. But these mountain states are safe for Trump except maybe Nevada and Colorado, which he will probably eventually take as well. The Mormon voters aren’t as stupid as these poobahs think they are.

Chaffetz the Holier-than-Thou Mormon needs to wake up and realize that if Hillary wins and fills the Supreme Court with liberals, his beloved Deseret may be paying taxes or having to admit gays and allow queers in the girls bathroom in addition to allowing the continued euthenasia of unborn babies and all the rest. How’s that set with your God, Jason, you idiot.

If Trump has a challenge in any of these mountain states, it’s not from Mormons as much as it is from other factors. Transplants, etc.

They must love debt, smothering regulations, high taxes, increased welfare and entitlements. I thought they would be concerned about their children’s future.
