On the other hand, expect the best Republicans to unite to Trump, winner-takes-all .!.
Utah DeseretNews.com Article: "Trump, HRC Scramble!"
"For the Clinton campaign, it would be a real coup to take a state that has been Republican for so long," said former political pollster Scott Rasmussen, who founded the widely respected Rasmussen Reports. "For Donald Trump, the notion of losing this state would be horrific."
"I think there are an awful lot of people who are taking a different type of conscience vote. They're going to say, 'Let's send a message,'" Rasmussen said in an interview.
Rasmussen, who left Rasmussen Reports three years ago, and Karl Zinsmeister, former chief domestic policy adviser in the George W. Bush administration, were in Utah Tuesday to speak at Sutherland Institute, a conservative public policy think tank.
Rasmussen said what's happening in Utah might be the most interesting election story of the year. Various polls have McMullin ahead or even with the major party candidates in the state. Utah would "absolutely not" be drawing the notice of Trump and Clinton were McMullin not in the race, he said.
Trump's running mate and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is scheduled to hold a rally Wednesday at the Infinity Event Center in Salt Lake City. Trump spoke at the same venue earlier this year. Pence also was the keynote speaker at Sen. Mike Lee's Utah Solutions Summit and held a fundraiser in the state last month.
And if he had to guess
right now, Rasmussen said he would pick McMullin to win Utah.

The problem in Utah (aside from Romney) must be liberal media. They must not see Hannity. On the other hand, expect thinking Republicans to unite and give Trump the six delegates.
Here is a sample of a few good reader comments:

McMullin can't win. All he is doing is taking away votes from Trump, and guaranteeing that Hillary wins the Presidency.
If you believe that Hillary would be the worst choice, like I do, then you need to vote for Trump.
Does it bother anyone else that we don't know anything about McMullin. As a CIA operative and working for the House (and being on a committee with Bill Clinton) we can't find anything about him. His platform is bare vanilla and most of what he wants for America is the same as Hillary. Open borders, amnesty for those here illegally, he wants the TPP trade pact, and is a globalist.
