Mitt Romney is the most publicly prominent Mormon Republican politician in America. He is disproportionately influential in Utah, and he is strongly anti-Trump in both ideology and disposition. If Romney were to endorse Evan McMullin for President, more endorsements from prominent Utah Mormons might follow: perhaps Gov. Herbert, Rep. Chaffetz, Rep. Love, or even Sen. Lee.
After two unsuccessful runs for the highest office in the land, Mitt Romney’s closing act in 2016 has been an admirably principled one. He can make it even more principled, and thus do the right thing, by immediately offering a formal endorsement to Evan McMullin for President of the United States. McMullin’s campaign would get a shot in the arm just as it seems the candidate is already surging, and McMullin would quite possibly soon emerge as the unambiguous front-runner to win Utah’s Electoral College votes. From there, of course, anything is possible.
