Utah voters are getting me a little concerned
More specifically, the Democrat voters are concerning me. This isn't to say I'm not concerned with many Republicans because they also have some issues. But this post is about the Utah Democrats.
Here's the article that got me concerned "Utah called for Bernie Sanders in state’s first Super Tuesday primary"

The Democrat primary breakdown for Salt Lake County was as follows (according to https://results.enr.clarityelections.com/UT/Salt_Lake/102090/Web02.241354/#/ on March 6, 2020):
Bernie Sanders 37.16%
Joe Biden 16.43%
Elizabeth Warren 16.4%
Mike Bloomberg 15.73%
Pete Buttigieg 9.5%
Amy Klobuchar 3.37%
the remaining less than 1.5%. And these numbers will likely change a bit as vote-by-mail ballots continue to be counted, but the numbers probably won't change much. Those votes were based on 107,085 ballots.
Compare that to the 81,238 Republican votes in Salt Lake County where 83.94% voted for Trump.
If this voter pattern goes into November, Salt Lake County will vote for the Democrat candidate.
Here's the concerning part, 53.56% of the Utah Democrats voted for socialists, either for Sanders or Warren. Of course Sanders is more socialist than Warren, but they're very similar in their agendas and the direction they want to take the country. Now that Warren has discontinued her presidential run, will those voters who supported her go to Sanders?
With Sanders maintaining a strong second place among the Democrat candidates, if he somehow won the party's nomination then they means Salt Lake County will very likely vote for him.
