Romney has a lot of influence on Mormons

[Quixote1818]

In a tight race a few thousand Mormons in some states may make the difference.

1. And Morans. -NT-

2. Utah and Arizona... and to a smaller degree... Nevada.

but I wouldn't count on them not voting for Chump, even with Mittens decent speech.

4. Don't forget Idaho, owned and operated by the church

and chunks of California and Montana. There's a community in MA too. In Idaho, you can't get a job, own a business that succeeds or run for office if you aren't a member of the lds club.

3. I wouldnt hold my breath

I am in Utah and if you hear the anger of the repubs on local talk radio and comment sections of local news. I think he will struggle for reelection. I usually here people refer to him as Massachusetts Mitt, hes wasnt super popular to begin with since he was critical of Trump.

5. Utah is normally as red as it can get but Utah is lukewarm to Trump

His approval rating there has bounced below 50 from time to time. Jeff Flake, another Mormon has ripped Trump too. I think it will be surprising how many Mormons don't vote for Trump. https://morningconsult.com/tracking-trump-2/

6. Mittsie can afford to defy the Trumpies

He doesn’t come up for re-election until 2024. I doubt Donnie will stay either compos mentos or that lucky that long.

7. But not the other Mormon GOP senators.

8. Lee seems much more respected by the Mormons an

Yeah at least here in Utah county I never hear anything negative about Mike Lee.

9. Shhh. I am hoping Trump stumbles into the ultimate disastrous response---

i.e., ridiculing Romney (just as he did Pelosi) for his professed "religious" beliefs guiding his action and stepping into it further, saying something that suggests Mormons are not "real" Christians.


He is stupid enough to do so. We'll see...
