Trump is clearly expanding the general election map....for Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

Clinton 38 Trump 36
Sanders 48 Trump 37

Poll: Utah would vote for a Democrat for president over Trump | KSL.com

Oh well, he's going to win New York anyway isn't he?

Joking aside, head to head polls aren't totally reliable this far out I know, however it is interesting to note that he's currently losing (or hammered in Bernie's case) in a state that hasn't gone to the democrats in 50 years.

Trumps definitely got act more statesman like or he's facing an historic blowout.

. . . . and we just know Mitt Romney would endorse Hillary/Bernie . . . especially after Mr. Trump insinuating that he is not a Mormon. That's a no-no, he was a LDS church elder.

Romney is revered over there in Utah. In 2012, he got 93%(!) of the primary votes, and 72% of the general election votes.

So he was an LDS Church elder, huh? You know those 18-year-old "kids" you see riding around on their bikes wearing suits and carrying a backpack full of copies of The Book of Mormon? They're LDS Church elders. You make it sound like such a big deal!

There are a lot of us Utahns who don't revere Mitt Romney. I'm one of them, and I know a whole lot more like me. And guess what, I'm also a lifelong Mormon. I voted for Obama both times and this time, I'm going for Bernie. If the general election ends up being between Trump and Clinton, I'll probably vote for some third-party candidate and then come home, curl up in a fetal position and wait for the end of the world.

In a state that has only voted Democrat ONCE since 1948! How pathetic. Oh and a new poll from NY has Hillary +19 over Trump LOL!. Said it before and I'll say it again. A vote for Trump is a vote for Hillary. He will lose in an epic landslide, will be one of the most lopsided elections in history.

Lopsided elections are not that uncommon. One wouldn't call 1952,56,64,72,80,84,88,92,96 or 08 and12 all that even. Nor would one call 1904,08,12,20,24,28,32,36,40 or 44 close.

Ha,ha,ha you beat me to it Katz! I'm not even a particularly good example of a Mormon and even i'm an elder.......people think these titles mean a lot in the LDS church when they really don't.

The big message here is if Hillary is the nominee, the (D)'S aren't going to show up.

Keep believing that,in most primaries she has gotten more votes than Trump and come the Nationals if it's her vs Trump there will be more like me that will be showing up to vote for her as the lesser evil.
