Trump's "a different place" comment on Mormons

 

"Trump tried to win over a roomful of pastors by noting that he was struggling in Utah, which he called “a different place.” This was a barely disguised attempt to profit from anti-Mormon sentiment among evangelicals. Now, a week after insulting Mormons, he is shamelessly asking for their vote. “Earning support and trust from the voters of Utah is a top priority for me,” Trump declared Monday in the Mormon-owned Deseret News. But his pitch to them was lazy and uninformed, a barely disguised admission of how little he thinks of voters. Mormons, as Trump seems to understand with his “different place” comment, are not exactly like evangelicals." WashingtonPost
