I wouldn't be terribly surprised. I'd certainly think it's pretty cool if it was Gary Johnson carrying the state.

I'd think it's a good thing for what it means for the 2020 arguments.

It's not in Utah, but I think that the Colorado City, AZ results this year should be very interesting.

I'm also Californian, but I'm very tempted to print out some informational pamphlets about Johnson and leave them on my Mormon neighbors' doorsteps.

Even if Johnson doesn't win (and thus Hillary does), I doubt that Trump would've lost if Johnson wasn't in the race.

I would find a way to have this .gif personally sent to every Clinton and Johnson voter in the state:

Good for the citizens of Utah. Hopefully the residents of the other 49 states will hold themselves to the same standard, and not vote for an insane, greedy, incompetent adolescent simply because he has an (R) after his name.

Am I the only one that can not see this image (above), which kyc0705 posted ?
Is it just me ?
All I see is an error "X" instead of the image.

While Trump may have some characteristics similar to some of the founders of LDS (the Mormon Church), he could not be more different from what LDS stands for today. Most of Trump's outlandish ideas go against the ethics and morality of the church.  Since the 70s and the "corporization" of LDS, their values are even less congruent with someone like Trump. And since over 50% of UT is in the church (I believe that only SLC and Park City have non-Mormon majorities), his loss there would not be a huge surprise.

However, I do not think Libertarians can win, just split the Republican vote. If anything, this is an opportunity for UT to get some relevance in Democratic policy making - if there ever was a chance for the Democrats to be relevant in UT, this is it. If Clinton has true leadership abilities, she should be able to capitalize on this.

Except that Adlai Stevenson was an unusually weak nominee, such partially explains why Utah went from being a Democratic state in its voting until 1948 and Republican in all but one Presidential election since then. Dwight Eisenhower cultivated Mormons in Utah.

Donald Trump losing Utah? This is one weird election.
