Trump said:
Utah’s Mormon Republican base is never going to warm to Donald Trump. The Republican Party has managed to pick the one candidate in their entire field who is an insult to Mormons and all other people of faith.

Donald Trump isn’t a man of integrity, values, or faith. His behavior is as un-Christian as a presidential candidate can get.
If Hillary Clinton were to win Utah, it wouldn’t be because of some great liberal swing in the state. If Utah goes blue for the first time since 1964, it will happen because Republicans nominated Donald Trump.
