Did Florida "see through" Trump ? Massachusetts ? Illinois ? Or any of the other states Trump won ? Or maybe all of the voters are not as smart as the Mormons ?

As a reminder, Lyin Ted lost by 600K votes in Florida.

Yep, awesome ... a state that Warren Jeffs built his "family" in. A state where having multiple wives is popular ...

Not one of them like Trump. My super conservative dad was the first to admit he'd rather vote for Hillary than Trump however I've seen more of them admit as much. I don't think it has much to do with religion, the people I've talked to from there didn't like him before Glenn Beck (who isn't as cherished as some think by Mormons) or Romney said anything about him.
Who cares and since when has any candidate been liked by everyone ? Wonder how your dad feels about liars ?

BTW, Utah is a beautiful state.

Cruz only got a majority in Utah, an extremely religious conservative Mormon state.

Tough to be Trump when by popular vote the people want you, but the party doesn't.

I'm predicting an Independent run ...
If it was true that "by popular vote the people want him" then he would be garnering the majority of the votes. Not merely more than another candidate, but the majority. And he isn't.

The other candidates combined continue to consistently pull in more votes than Trump does, which, by definition, means he's NOT getting the popular vote. He's getting around 35-40 percent of one party's vote.

By no definition anywhere does that constitute winning the popular vote--except in the deluded mind of a Trump supporter.

The vast majority of the state does not practice polygamy and if Warren Jeffs is the worst you've got, that's nothing compared to the states Trump has won in.

He isn't fond of liars, which is why he doesn't like Trump. The guy is so sleazy I'm surprised he doesn't ooze slime.

All you Trumpies who keep asserting these absolutes may find yourselves eating your words after the convention, or in November.
Typical tactic. Case closed, the discussion is over, game over, the [blank] is settled. This is how Trump hump*rs who are incapable of dealing with reality end all discussions. They only have emotions to support whatever the issue is about, so they use discussion enders to extricate themselves from actually having to listen to and defend/support an issue with facts and logic.

Not sure why anyone in an ultra-conservative state like Utah would vote for a moderate currently-Republican candidate like Trump and why anyone would be surprised that the candidate most to the right won the state handily. Fortunately for Trump, there are many more battles and everyone doesn't think like Utah residents.

People I talked to liked Rubio, however he dropped out.
