Utah’s Rep. Mia Love will skip Republican National Convention

[JakeStarkey]

This is a smart move.

The Doug Owens campaign will try to tie her as much to Trump as possible.

She is still down by perhpas as much as 9 to 10 points to her opponent.

Trump is disliked very much in this state, and the GOP candidates are running as fast from him as possible.

[TheOldSchool]

That will get in the way of Trumps plans to pick her up and wave her all around for all to see.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Why is she down to Owens by 10 points?

 

[Manonthestreet]

Looks like you see what you want to see....not whats actually said other than she wont attend

 

[Sunni Man]

Nobody cares.........

 

[JakeStarkey]

It's clear why she won't attend: she wants to win and Trump is a big drag in the state.

She is down for several reasons. Her district is moderate GOP to conservative and very white LDS, but has shown it can and will vote Democratic in the past for Congress. She has negated the racial factor in winning and being a popular mayor in Saratoga Springs, a community across Utah Lake from Lehi and Orem. Her opponent is Doug Owens, whose father won a few terms as a Democratic congressman from Utah, was defeated, and then went on a LDS Mission as its President. Doug is well liked by most.

I have met Mia: very charismatic, personable, and ruthless as a pit bull. I like her and would have no problem voting for her.

 

[JakeStarkey]

She done heard the sound of the trumpet! Or was that a strumpet?

You are still running around in your old man red jammies, and that was your attendant asking into your ear horn, "crumpet, old fellow?"

Nobody cares.........

You're like the slip and fall guy who jumps up and says, I meant to do that!

Spot on, Jake. The association with Rump is toxic, so distancing oneself however one can is going to be crucial.

Donald Rump Has a Mormon Problem

>> The reason for the Mormon iciness? Likely everything from Trump's tabloid-ready personal life to his exclusionary policies on immigration and Islam. Mormons also see him as an unsavory candidate who doesn't respect other religions, according to Matt Miles, a political scientist at LDS Church-owned Brigham Young University-Idaho.

One core issue for many Latter-day Saints, according to Miles, is Trump's call to block Muslims from entering the United States as a safeguard against terrorism. That stance stirs fear among members of a faith that has its own history of persecution. And, in defense of this policy, a Trump spokeswoman mistakenly referred to the feds shutting down "Mormon churches," when she actually meant the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a breakaway sect that practices polygamy.

In December, the Salt Lake City-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a statement in response to Trump's position highlighting a quote from Mormon founder Joseph Smith defending the religious rights of many faiths.

That may explain why Texas Sen. Ted Cruz walloped Trump in the heavily Mormon areas in southern Idaho en route to a 17 percentage point win in the state. Idaho, the state with the second most LDS residents, was Trump's only loss among the four states holding presidential contests last Tuesday. Trump had an even worse showing in Wyoming, which has the third-highest Mormon population. He got only 7 percent of Saturday's caucus vote, while Cruz amassed 66 percent. <<​

Is Trump's alternative message a promise to make us poorer?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Mormons overwhelmingly, most Utahns in general with Idahoans as well, dislike Trump intensely.

Say, is that John Miller and John Barron?

Oh wait, no it can't be. The hands are too big.

National Border Patrol Council Endorses Trump for President

The endorsement is the first-ever in a presidential primary for the NBPC. The agents’ statement makes clear that Trump’s public pledge to secure the border by turning to the actual agents in the NBPC is revolutionary and an opportunity never-before-seen and one that may never be seen again. They wrote, “Mr. Trump will take on special interest and embrace the ideas of rank-and-file Border Patrol agents rather than listening to the management yes-men who say whatever they are programmed to say. This is a refreshing change that we have not seen before – and may never see again.”
