Bill Clinton has been banished by his wife’s campaign to the mysterious, mountainous far-away land of Utah, where the odds for a Democrat are long, the voters are Mormon, and Donald Trump is less popular than most GOP nominees in recent memory.

Clinton will reportedly travel to the Beehive State on Aug. 11 to make a number of appearances in support of his wife’s campaign.

It isn’t exactly shocking the Clinton campaign decided Bill would be a better fit — and less of a liability — in a state like Utah. Utah is both more white and more conservative than many states in the country, and the simple fact is that Bill presents somewhat of an obstacle to Hillary’s efforts to rebrand herself as a dedicated progressive warrior.

Not only did Clinton aggressively reform welfare, but he also enacted policies that ushered in the era of mass incarceration — policies that were demanded by the black community at the time, but that the Left has suddenly decided are racist.

In April 2016, Bill scolded Black Lives Matter protesters at a rally who were jeering him over Hillary’s original support for his criminal justice reforms and her use of the term “superpredator”.

“You are defending the people who killed the lives you say matter,” Clinton told protesters. “I don’t know how you would characterize the gang leaders who got 13-year-old kids hopped up on crack, and sent them out in the streets to murder other African-American children,” Clinton said. “Maybe you thought they were good citizens — she didn’t.”

This episode was hardly a PR victory for the Clinton campaign, as one of its main efforts has been to pander to Black Lives Matter — agreeing that the police force and American society as a whole are both plagued by “systemic racism.”

Some have claimed Bill is being dispatched to Utah because Democrats actually have a chance of winning it in November. Trump is uncharacteristically unpopular in Utah for a GOP presidential candidate, and some argue that Bill could be Hillary’s secret weapon in convincing significant numbers of Utah Republicans to vote Hillary.

“The state is in play,” Jenny Wilson, the Utah delegation chair to the Democratic National Convention, told BuzzFeed. The reason is that Mormons, by and large, do not like Donald Trump. A March Salt Lake City Tribune article describes Trump’s “Mormon problem”:

The reason for the Mormon iciness? Likely everything from Trump’s tabloid-ready personal life to his exclusionary policies on immigration and Islam. Mormons also see him as an unsavory candidate who doesn’t respect other religions, according to Matt Miles, a political scientist at LDS Church-owned Brigham Young University-Idaho.

“You have a group who cares more about politics than the church, those Mormons tend to be Trump supporters,” Miles said. “For those religion-first Mormons, they won’t support Trump. They’ll say he had too many divorces, and they don’t see him as a strong moral leader.”

But if Utah is truly in play because Mormons don’t see Trump as a strong moral leader, then Bill’s presence in the state as Hillary’s surrogate is all the more inexplicable.

Donald Trump may be a thrice-married serial adulterer, but Bill Clinton is a serial adulterer and an alleged serial sexual predator with an albatross of rape allegations around his neck, infamous the world over for an affair with an intern half his age.

Bill Clinton is the last person in the country qualified to make a moral argument against Donald Trump and in favor of Hillary Clinton, and if he is truly being sent to Utah to make that argument, it may very well backfire spectacularly. Of course, the more likely strategy is Clinton is being parked somewhere by his wife’s campaign where he can do little harm and there is only room to improve.
