So, are you giving odds? I have $100. From: Travis Johnson Sent: Monday, March 21, 2016 10:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Trump in Utah
Utah (and Idaho too) will vote Republican. They can talk and say "we will never support Trump"... but at the end of the day, both states will be Red... as always. I personally have wanted to get rid of the political parties for a LONG time... let each candidate say what he will do on every subject, and not be associated with these "parties" that really don't mean anything anymore. Republicans used to believe "this", but now, 20 years later, they now believe "this". The parties have no real value or benefit, other than to keep thousands of people employed.

It’s a big deal, and I believe they are right, Utah won’t stand for Trump. Even if it’s Hilary. And I think Utah in general would be just fine with a Woman president, but maybe I’m wrong.

I think it's a lot like Idaho, that many people check the first "Republican" box on the first page, and never turn the book to even see who that is or what they even stand for. Do you really think if Trump wins the nomination that Utah would vote for Hillary over Trump? A woman as President, in a state of 50% Mormon, where they don't allow women to hold any real leadership positions? Trump knows he has Utah and Idaho because they have voted Red for the last 40 years.

IMO A chief executive should have some experience with the legislative process and some military experience. Foreign policy experience would be something I would look for on a resume. Trump has been saying that he doesn’t really mean or believe some of the hyperbolic things that have came out of his mouth. I know the Lt. Gov fairly well here in Utah. His family are 100 year ILEC owners. Have known them for years. This is what he said after the Trump speech: "I need to say this, OK, ...and last night Donald Trump did something and said something that I never thought I'd see a candidate for president do and say, especially someone in the Republican Party." "Think about that for a second," Cox told the crowd. "A person running for office, in our party, thinks it's OK that if you question his politics, he can question your religion. I have a message for the 3 million people in Utah for Mr. Donald Trump: That's not how we roll in Utah, and that's not how we roll in the United States of America."

Everyone else running is a "lifer"... someone that has been in politics or has wanted to be, their entire life. Nobody else is going to make any REAL changes. It's time for something different. It's also refreshing to have someone say what they REALLY think... instead of giving lip service for six months before the election, and then having them not do anything that they said. At least Trump is saying what he thinks. Travis On 3/21/2016 9:24 AM, Chuck McCown wrote: He may be super smart and has ideas that really could be good for the country.
