Pat Bagley cartoon from the Salt Lake Tribune, Sunday, Oct. 16, 2016
A few quick notes:
1. The Salt Lake Tribune is not a particularly right-wing paper (it endorsed Obama over Romney) but it does have the city's largest weekday circulation and it obviously speaks for a substantial part of the population;
2. The city's other major paper, the Deseret News also came out strongly against Trump;
3. Just to be clear, the point of this and other recent posts on the subject is not that the Republican Party is about to lose the support of groups like Mormons and evangelicals. I'm just saying that there are signs that these longstanding relationships are growing unstable, which does push some interesting scenarios into the realm of the plausible.
