Not for picking Hillary (she sucks, too), just for rejecting Trump.

There was a lot of Ted Cruz advertising on TV tonight. Loved the image of Ted Cruz walking and talking with a group of Utah Republicans while carrying the top side of a shotgun barrel on his shoulder. Shows he is a real American who loves guns and flouts those namby-pamby safety rules.

The ads targeting Donald Trump demonstrate how low Cruz will sink in order to win. That's the ticket for Utah! Throw the convention open so Mitt will be the nominee.

Theoretically possible, but highly unlikely. If Mitt really wanted the job. He would have started campaigning about 2 years ago.

The only Republican I know about that I would consider voting for is John Huntsman, but he hasn't a ghost of a chance of being nominated as a Republican. If the presidential race were between Huntsman and Clinton, I would seriously consider preferring Huntsman, because the mere fact of his nomination by the Republican Party would be a strong indication that the Republican party is amenable to a change for the better towards less extremism and more acceptance of reality.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

You are on a roll!

Yep, Huntsman would easily get my vote over Hillary.

A lot of Utahns must be aware that not any of the major newspapers out there has endorsed or recommended Trump during these GOP Primaries.

The Republican/Conservative Disinformation Machine has been quite effective in trying to smear Hilary. Forget that the concerted Benghazi investigations came up blank. It was Hilary's fault for holding a 44 Magnum to the head of those four dead Americans. Disinformation is their greatest ally.

Just google Hilary for Prison 2016 and you will see the mischief that billionaires can buy. The clever liberals could reply in kind, but they seem to have bought into this claptrap as well in their effort to push their new George McGovern-type candidate.

Looks like Clinton is favored over Trump in Utah.

That's a single poll in the heart of a contested primary with a huge number of undecideds. I wouldn't put too much stock in it. If nominee Trump loses Utah, he's probably lost almost every other state in the country with it. Utah has to be at least in the 10 ten of states least likely to fall.
