Johnson can win Utah if he campaigns hard for polygamy rights. And if Romney doesn’t decide he’s the fulfillment of the White Horse Prophecy and get on the ballot there himself.

Oddly enough, Huntsman himself seems to be warming to Trump. I couldn’t find an endorsement, though. I’d think Huntsman would be more likely than Romney to endorse GJ, but perhaps MR’s friendship with WW makes him inclined to possibly support the L ticket.
Prince, perhaps. 😛
But worth noting that he endorsed Cruz and was very active against Trump, and IIRC Trump did the worst of any state in the Utah primary. Also worth noting that polls in 2012 showed him leading the primary in a landslide even over the former popular Utah Governor Huntsman. I think its safe to say he’s held in high esteem by most republicans and probably a fair few independents. If he comes out for Johnson, I think a lot of those voters would listen to him.
In 2012 Romney got 72.79% which in my book means that he was hardly a king just a popular Mormon Republican politician (in Utah).

MR is likely highly influential in UT, but I note that he got about the same percentage of the prez votes as W did in 04. “King” may be an overstatement.
Especially if Romney endorses him. He’s pretty much king there.
With especially Trump and Clinton as choices, the range of possibilities widens substantially. UT seems to be one of the states where GJ can be competitive.
Is Utah a state he could actually win? They hate Trump in Utah and they must cringe at voting for a Democrat!
