Vice President Mike Pence is coming to Mesa Tuesday to help launch a ‘Latter-day Saints for Trump’ coalition in what appears to be a late-in-the-game play to win over LDS voters, who tend to vote Republican but hold values that clash with some of the president’s

How inconvenient that LDS voters hold "values". Is Pence going to 'fix' that?

[Thomas Hurt]

1. Pence doesn't believe they are even christians but he will take their vote.

2. Do LDS people even trust guys like Pence? I am under the impression they don't. n/t

6. Pence style evangelicals consider LDS a cult

They don't mix well

3. Chances are that Mitt Romney's words carry a LOT more weight among Mormons than Pence's.

4. The Mormons my husband works with are some of Donnie Dipshit's biggest supporters/defenders.

So I don't think he needs to worry about that particular crowd, unfortunately.

7. Mormons are a mixed bag

Harry Reid is a Mormon. My LDS friends are about 3-2 Trumpers. The better educated ones tend toward Democratic politics, or at least Moderate Romney types.

5. Could be trouble in Utah

In 2016, Utah DID vote for Trump, but not too enthusiastically - more people voted AGAINST Trump than FOR him!
"While Donald Trump won in 2016, he failed to receive a majority of votes, winning 45.5% to 27.5% over Hillary Clinton. Trump enjoyed less support than prior Republicans with the state's large Mormon population. Mormon conservative Evan McMullin provided these voters with an alternative. McMullin received over 21.5% of the vote, the best '3rd party' performance in any single state since Ross Perot in 1992."

8. So he's sending Pence to gas people and hold up a Book of Mormon?

[Grins]

9. Sent Pence...?

Franklin Graham said that most Protestants do not view Mormonism as a Christian faith. So Trump sent...Pence? A "Rapture enthusiast"?

10. A waste of time in Mesa...

Mormons around here are lemmings. They vote "R" no matter who....
That's why in CD6 we are stuck with an actual Nazi fascist Andy Biggs. He's voted with Doturd all the time in support of TREASON.

There is a minority of Mormons who don't like Doturd, but the vast majority in Mesa will march off the cliff with him. Guaranteed.
