From the elders, not the average Mormon. The commie dimorats hardly opposed. Trump flew in and endorsed him. He still only won by a couple of percentage points.
Can confirm. I live in Utah. I was raised Mormon but haven't been to church in years. I still have a lot of friends and family members who are practicing LDS. Nearly all of them like Trump and think that Romney is a loser.
Literally every candidate in Utah is a Mormon, so it's not the deciding factor here. Name recognition probably was. A lot of Utah normies really wanted Romney to win in 2012 and still liked him.
I've never liked him. I voted against him in the primary but when presented the choice of Romney or a Democrat in the general I plugged my nose and went with Romney. I reasoned that RGB could die and I'd want Trump to choose her replacement... I was right about that, and I kinda got what I wanted there, but it turned out the Supreme Court is useless anyway.
Romney has been such an epic piece of shit that I will vote for anyone who runs against him, even if it sticks Utah with a Democrat senator for six years. Hopefully we can primary him because a lot of Utahns hate him now.
He probably decided on Utah, because no recalls.
He has a built in support base of Mormons that won’t accept a non-Mormon option.
