The party faithful should, frankly, make them radioactive. This meeting comes as news spreads that Utah, the most Republican state in the nation, will be competitive for Hillary Clinton if Donald Trump is the nominee. But these guys don’t really care about that. They know the donor money will still flow and they will still control the access and power in Washington with Trump in charge.
Erick Erickson, former editor of the conservative web site RedState, has this post up this morning. I wonder if he's right?
If so, the end is near! D:
I kinda doubt the OP author's hypothesis (Trump nomination would make Hillary competitive in Utah). What I do know is that nominating Cruz instead would ensure that the GOP might win Utah but will lose every single swing state and perhaps some otherwise reliably red states. If you lined up the remaining 5 major party candidates (Trump, Cruz, Kasich, Hillary, Bernie) Cruz would be dead last for me and a whole lot of other folks also.
Now that the Trump minions are shitting on Mormons because of this recent polling, I'm sure Hills chances are only going to get better...lol!SALT LAKE CITY If Donald Trump becomes the Republican Party's nominee, Utahns would vote for a Democrat for president in November for the first time in more than 50 years, according to a new Deseret News/KSL poll.

Either way, the meltdown of the Republican party is nearly complete.
It's inside the margin of error for the poll with 26% undecided at this point. I didn't say it was impossible for Hillary to win, I just doubt she will. You'd have to assume that sizable undecided group to ultiimately be 50/50 in pulling the lever for Hillary come election day and I don't think that happens. Standard disclaimers about it only being my opinion, all opinions stink, et certera fully apply to this post.

Utah became a state in January 1896, the last 19th-century addition to the U.S. map. Utahans voted for Democrat Franklin Roosevelt four times (1932 through 1944) and for his successor Harry S. Truman in 1948. Aside from that period, the state has only voted for Democrats twice, the last time being in 1964. Like many other Rocky Mountain states, Utah is now solidly Republican. In 2012, Mitt Romney defeated Barack Obama, by 72.8% to 24.8%. This is the largest margin of victory in any of the 50 states since Ronald Reagan beat Walter Mondale here by 74.5% to 24.7% in 1984.
Bolded the last part
They (Utah) have not voted as a collective for a democratic president in 52 years

And now it looks like, depending on the nominee from gop, they could turn Utah blue. Awesome...
I remember when people said no one would vote for a Catholic for President.

I do think Clinton's chance to take Utah is a better one than The Duck's chance to take, say, New York.
Wait, why are republicans all hating the thought of Cruz? Don't they always say the candidate they nominated wasn't a true conservative and that's why they lost?
Cruz is a conservative, so you'd think this is their chance to show the rest of us that they're right.
I adore Trump not because he would make a great president (he wouldn't) but because he single-handedly dismantled the power structure of the Repub Party and gave control of it to their base, of whom were constantly indoctrinated by the GOP heads of state to obey and rally around a guy that precisely fits Trump's job description and persona.
Ha-haaaa.
What goes around has finally come back around, dressed in a clown suit with a wheat colored divot on his head tweeting on a flute he charmed off of the Pied Piper.
GOP, you asked for it, you got it.
Enjoy. 😀
