Wonder how that set with FaustFound it. Ezra Taft Benson.Considering that many of the Mormon church leaders have been Democrats, and obamas butt dripping by the name of Harry Reid claims to be Mormon, I have a hard time believing that some (conveniently) unnamed church leader told the people they could not be Mormon if they were not republicans.They'll change their mind if Trump actually becomes the Republican nominee. Some former church leader said that you couldn't be a good Mormon if you weren't republican and it stuck.I have my condo in downtown SLC for years, and I fully understand the Utah mind. The following from the link is just so right to me and others who understand Utah.Poll: Utah would vote for a Democrat for president over Trump
If Trump is the nominee, he loses Utah in the general. Explain to me how he wins a general election if he can't even win one of the most conservative states in the nation?
I highly doubt this is the only one with the huge negatives he has been getting in the west
LOL.... This is actually one of the most laughable threads of the day ..Trump will lose Utah to Cruz in the primary But the leftist will never win Utah in the General you're dreaming
"The poll found that may well be true. Utah voters said they would reject Trump, the GOP frontrunner, whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is the Democratic candidate on the general election ballot.
While Clinton was only slightly ahead of Trump — 38 percent to 36 percent — Sanders, a self-declared Democratic socialist, holds a substantial lead — 48 percent to 37 percent over the billionaire businessman and reality TV star among likely Utah voters."
"Wow. Wow. That's surprising," said Chris Karpowitz, co-director of Brigham Young University's Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy. "Any matchup in which Democrats are competitive in the state of Utah is shocking."
The LDS Church is strongly signaling that Trump is an unacceptable candidate.
When the prophet decides, the thinking has been done.
I sure you would be able to clear this up with a link to this statement.
"In 1974, for example, Benson famously told an interviewer who was interviewing him as a prominent Republican and political figure, that it would be difficult for a member of the Church to be a Democrat if they knew and understood the gospel."
