From "The GOP needs more Mormons" by Damon Linker
Why are so many members of the LDS Church are so immune to the Donald Trump's demotic charms? There are at least six distinct reasons.
1 - Mormons aren't angry
2 - Mormons disapprove of Trump's garish lifestyle
3 - Mormons dislike vulgarity
4 - Mormons prize law-abidingness
5 - Mormons like immigration reform
6 - Mormons don't hate Muslims
Here's what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He's playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat.
His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president. And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill. (Politico transcript)
Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and John Kasich. One of these men should be our nominee. I know that some people want the race to be over. They look at history and say a trend like Mr. Trump's isn't going to be stopped.
Perhaps. But the rules of political history have pretty much all been shredded during this campaign. If the other candidates can find common ground, I believe we can nominate a person who can win the general election and who will represent the values and policies of conservatism. Given the current delegate selection process, this means that I would vote for Marco Rubio in Florida, for John Kasich in Ohio, and for Ted Cruz or whichever one of the other two contenders has the best chance of beating Mr. Trump in a given state.
