Letter: Mormon support of Trump still makes no sense

“What would it take for Mormons to dump Trump?” Robert Rees and Clifton Jolley asked in the Aug. 12 Tribune.
First, we have to ask, why would Mormons choose Donald Trump as our world leader? It appears that Mormon support for Trump is the highest of any religious group in our nation at 61 percent.
Evidently, immorality “trumps” the morality of our sovereign nation under the raunchy, scandalous leadership of “the Donald.” Evidently, making a profit, lying, money laundering and womanizing are not bad enough, but are applauded by some who embrace Trump’s foul language along with his bravado.
Tell me, what would it take?
