re: #420 KGxvi

Ana Marie Cox had a guest on her podcast last week that is a Mormon writer (forget his name) and they talked a good bit about Mormon culture and where it fits in politically. It was quite interesting, actually. I think it is mostly an alliance of convenience more than anything. Mormons are definitely less inclined to support immigration restrictions or general xenophobia (in part because many of them go abroad as missionaries). They also tend to be better (but not always great, see Prop 8) on freedom of religion issues. And most don’t really like Trump’s crassness.

I do wonder if Utah might have actually been in play in 2016 if the Democratic nominee hadn’t been Clinton.

She’s on the latest Pod Save America talking about CPAC.
