For 80 years, the Deseret News has not entered into the troubled waters of presidential endorsement. We are neutral on matters of partisan politics. We do, however, feel a duty to speak clearly on issues that affect the well-being and morals of the nation.
Accordingly, today we call on Donald Trump to step down from his pursuit of the American presidency.
In democratic elections, ideas have consequences, leadership matters and character counts.
The idea that women secretly welcome the unbridled and aggressive sexual advances of powerful men has led to the mistreatment, sorrow and subjugation of countless women for far too much of human history.
The notion that strength emanates from harsh, divisive and unbending rhetorical flourish mistakenly equates leadership with craven intimidation.
The belief that the party and the platform matter more than the character of the candidate ignores the wisdom of the ages that, "when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." (Proverbs 29:2)

“Polytheistic” and “polygamous” do not mean the same thing.
Somebody, somewhere has a tape of Hillary making similar comments about other women...
“In democratic elections, ideas have consequences, leadership matters and character counts. “
So you’ve decided to help the Clintons?!?
Two words for you Deseret/LDS:
No Credibility.
And who says Mormons are right?
In my opinion they are wrong about politics.
Why aren’t they choosing the pro-life candidate, Trump?
When Trump becomes president, his AG and IRS director can take take away the LDS tax breaks which are probably as invasive as a cancer.
I will take lewd and crude over lawless, corrupt and incompetent any day of the week.
Morons showing once again they are not really Christians but self righteous Pharisees.
Leaving what choice on the ballot 30 days out from the election? Sounds like a Hillary troll that is desperate.
Get their tax exemption!
According to the Necronomicon, Joseph Smith was dragged down to the corpse-city of R'lyeh, where Dead C'thulhu (who lies dreaming) arose and ate him.

Sounds like the “Saints” are a little miffed at their boy Romney losing last time.
The mormon church should abandon their false prophet and accept traditional Christianity.
Deseret News is LDS owned but has never taken positions dictated by that church. The editorial staff are not influenced by the LDS church. Both they and the LDS leadership have said so.
The SL Trib is the competing newspaper.
In general, they all will lean towards what Romney wants.
Ask anyone who leaves the church what happens to them. They get turned on big time by friends and relatives-even close family.
Ask any Mormon about the holy Trinity. They will say correctly what it is, but when confronted about satan as the brother of Jesus, they will turn real ugly fast. If satan is the brother of Jesus as they claim..then there is no Holy Trinity and THAT IS BLASPHEMY.
What in Heck has happened to the Mormon Church?
Is it full of liberals now?................
So did they take a stand against the Clintoons when the reality of the Monica mess was exposed and Bubba’s Clinton’s rape cases oozed up out of the white house septic tank.
The Deseret News just revealed it has no moral compass whatsoever.
All this focus on Trump, and not for Mrs. Bill Clinton?
Didn’t write that the Clinton’s are morally acceptable. I was writing about the moral background of those guys who said to boycott Trump as if their intelligence would sway anyone.
