Utah Mormon here. I did not vote for Romney in the primary; I think he won because of name recognition more than anything else. I only voted for Romney in the general because of the Trump endorsement and the fact that it was either him or a democrat, and I didn't want to risk a senate seat. Turns out he's no better than a democrat. I really hope he gets a good primary challenger when he's up for reelection. I don't want to be put in that position again.

Damn. Sounds like you were stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Yep, former presidential candidate mattered more to people than his religion. Can confirm.
