Hillary sent a love letter to Utah trying to convince them that her lies would be slightly more easy to digest than Trump’s lies:

And it’s about to get worse with the Mormon Independent challenger who just threw himself into the race.
That is just going to worsen Trump’s chances in the polls:
But what does this all mean for Utah — a state that hasn’t voted blue for five decades? A June poll from the Hinckley Institute-Salt Lake Tribune showed that Clinton and Trump were virtually tied with 35 percent for Donald Trump and 35 percent for Hillary Clinton. That is as close as a Democratic candidate has been to victory in the Beehive State since 1964.
But really, it doesn’t matter – if at election time we’re worried about Utah, then it’s already a blowout and Hillary is cankle-deep in Trump’s blood.
And it looks like he’s not even trying to win – here’s how they stack up in spending in swing states:
This is a disaster.
