Donald Trump on Mitt Romney in Utah: "Are you sure he's a Mormon?"

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-mitt-romney-utah-mormon-election-2016/

SALT LAKE CITY -- Donald Trump brought his brash brand of politics to the most Republican state in the country on Friday. But Utah, which voted against President Obama by a bigger margin than any other state in the country in 2012, has a reputation for polite and orderly when it comes to elections.

None of that seemed to matter for the Republican front-runner, who stuck to his playbook of bombastic language and blunt-force attacks against his rivals in the 2016 race, courtesy be damned. His primary target: former GOP nominee Mitt Romney, who has deep roots in Utah thanks to his Mormon faith.

"Are you sure he's a Mormon?" Trump asked the anti-establishment crowd that jeered at every mention of Romney. "Are we sure? He choked, he choked. It was so sad."

"He should have beaten Obama," the GOP front-runner continued. "We wouldn't be working. I could be back right now. I could be back working in New York and doing my deals and having fun and being with my family."

"I've had three! I'm a better Mormon than Mitt Romney. I'm a yuuuuge Mormon. Well, except for that tithing thing. Better to invest your money in Trump Industries."
