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.

The Republican Idiots would rather have a demon-possessed necromancer (Hillary speaks to demons masquerading as Elenor Roosevelt and Ghandi at night) who hates America than a crude talking businessman who loves America. Woe to us!

And Mormons CAN vote for Hillary Clinton?

An 11 year old accusation against Trump can upset them but not Clinton aiding and abetting rape?

Someone is misleading these people.

So they want to vote for the rotten-to-the-core, corrupt, most vile woman who ever lived? One who will wipe out freedoms and butcher more babies.

These people are cutting off their noses to spite their faces.

The Mormons do whatever their leaders command. That means whatever Mitt Romney and Dingy Harry agree on.

Otherwise, no planet for them.

I’ve known some really super nice & decent Mormons, but the LDS church still treats women as lesser beings than men and imposes harsh conditions of ‘morality’ on all members. Why nearly 2/3 of Mormons are categorized as ‘inactive.’ It seems to me that their church and political leaders are the screwed up crowd, and I include Romney, Lee, & Chaffetz in the bunch.

YET, they approve of the Hillary puppet letting enemy combatants in here?
They approve of her compromising national security and lying about it?
They approve oof her laughing about a rape victim?
They approve of the puppet taking money from our enemies to finance her campaign?
They approve of her arming ISIS?

The Mormons appear to be a cult of mindless Romney bots.

The Mormon stampede led by Bishop Romney and his ilk. Does the Book of Mormon say anything about corrosive jealousy? Romney is eaten up with it.

And then there is Glenn Beck who said that Trump is the Republican party’s Anthony Wiener. Poison, pure poison .... it will be the undoing of Beck from the inside out - he’s already rotting from the inside from his Trump-hating gangrene and his hypocrisy regarding conservatism, forgiveness, loving each other, etc.. Meanwhile all of his earthly endeavors (The Blaze, his film company) are crumbling to dust. I would suggest he seek out the likes of Franklin Graham and have a REAL “come to Jesus” moment. It’s the only way he can rid himself of Satan’s influence and find true peace.

I found the most interesting irony to me is that, at least here in Pennsylvania, those Mormons that I know like Trump, but for some reason, the Mormon politicians absolutely hate him. Wonder why?

One way to stop Trump is to force the election into the electoral college.

I think the story is ginned up in order to get Utah’s electoral votes off the table and given to an independent.

(Another way is to get the GOPe to force him to resign from the ticket. Thus far, that ploy has failed.)

Watch for more dirty tricks, and faulty reporting, in the next three weeks. (It’s only going to get worse...)
