Right, I meant a good reason by the Democrat way of thinking, not mine personally.

When we were planning our exodus from Colorado we looked really hard at non-SLC Utah because I absolutely love the state for an outdoor playground. Kept getting "warned about the Mormon thing" but that didn't concern me because except for where we go to church we line up with them pretty well. My biggest concern was that we could see SLC getting flipped in the somewhat near future like Denver did and then the entire state would spiral down. It was/is always a question of just how much the Mormon Church would allow it to happen, but demographics has a power all it's own and I'm not sure they can do anything about it.

I'd like to see it from 2008 to 2024 (and eventually 2028) for two reasons:
A Mormon GOP candidate in 2012 is an outlier. I'd suspect they are going to vote more for a Mormon candidate than anyone else.
Although the Mormons are generally conservative, they aren't big fans of Trump. Evan McMullin received >21% of the Utah vote in 2016, compared to 0.5% nationally.
FWIW, I think most Mormons are great people who share similar social values as me. Religiously I'm nowhere near them, but I wouldn't mind a Mormon neighbor or two. But I'm not moving to a LDS dominated area. I have a family member who lived in Utah and the bias against non-LDS families was extremely evident to him and his wife.

Remember it would only take like 100k population shift to swing those sparsely-populated Western states like Montana and Wyoming (or the Dakotas)
This isn't even close to being right.
Wyoming is the best example. There are 275K registered voters and just under 80% of them are Republicans. There are only 41K Dems in the state (13% of registered voters). To flip that to majority Dem would take hundreds of thousands of new residents, or something like a doubling of its current population. So where are these frickers going to live, and what are they going to do?

Mormons don’t really live in SLC proper
