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.



I don't know. Their adoration of Romney goes a long way, and he absolutely despises Trump.

for what it's worth, one of my business partners is very active in his state's Republican leadership, and the inside buzz he is hearing is that it is very likely that Paul Ryan would get the nomination from a contested convention.

Personally, I would love to see Condoleezza Rice get the nomination. That would be epic.

The outside buzz is Paul Ryan just the same. It's not clear that Ryan would want that at this point.

If the Republicans were to nominate a general, I think the floor would explode in ecstasy and unite behind whoever that is. Trump's authoritarian brigade would love that and the rank and file who simply culturally identify with being as militaristic as possible would just the same.

I admit that I'm impressed by Utah Republicans rejecting Trump so thoroughly. However, they did vote for the smarmy theocrat. I suppose many of them got on board the Stop Drumpf strategy.

I'm more impressed by Utah Democrats. Nice job, people. If only it made a real difference in the Dem primary...

Utah is still likely going to go for Trump come this November. But Trump is not going to win any of the 26 States that Obama won in 2012.

The only joy I will feel come November 8th will be in watching at least one of two execrable humans do the walk of shame in defeat.

And it will probably be Trump.

Trump was angry that an anti-Trump super-PAC used an image of his wife, Melania, posing nude for an ad in Utah before Tuesday's caucuses.

The ad shows a photo of Melania Trump posing nude for GQ Magazine with the words “Meet Melania Trump. Your next first lady.” It was paid for by Make America Awesome, an anti-Trump super PAC.
