(53,061 posts)Going to be tough for the Mittster.
Two years ago in a straw poll at the Utah State Convention Romney only got 55% of Republican delegates in a poll taken there.
His support among Mormons has always been exaggerated.

While Mitt Romney, who nominated Bennett, was mobbed by well-wishers when he stood in front of Bennett's convention booth signing autographs and posing for pictures, there was a smattering of boos when Romney walked on the stage with Bennett.
And, later in the program, there was only polite applause when various speakers said that Romney should be the GOP presidential nominee in 2012, or would unseat President Barack Obama in two years.
Indeed, a pre-convention poll of GOP delegates for the Deseret News and KSL-TV found that only 55 percent of delegates favored Romney in a mock presidential race in 2012. And Romney got 90 percent of the 2008 presidential primary vote in Utah

No matter what happens from here, he is no longer inevitable.
