Republican frontrunner Donald Trump asked attendees at his Utah rally on Friday if former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney “was really Mormon.”

Trump said his evangelical supporters have been “so amazing,” but he loves “the Mormons.”

“Do I love the Mormons,” Trump said to applause and cheers from the crowd in Salt Lake City.

He said he has “lots of friends” in Salt Lake City, but Romney is not one of them.

Then Trump asked, “Are we sure he’s a Mormon? Are we sure? He choked. He choked.”

Trump and Romney have been at odds since Romney started denouncing Trump’s candidacy on Twitter. Then the Republican Party’s last presidential nominee gave a speech at the beginning of March trashing the current frontrunner’s candidacy. Romney said “the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished” if the GOP nominates Trump.

    The Incredible Mr.Trumpley and Voldemormon are two peas in a pod. That’s why they hate each other.

  2. At the rate that Donald is Trumping on every group imaginable, Hillary will be getting votes in November from pro-life, evangelicals against gun control and organic farming.

  3. There is no point too low.

    What kind of person (of any group) would submit to being insulted four ways with a few words?

    Here is where resentment and racism not only pushes people to insult others but to SUBMIT to being insulted.

  4. Actually to be honest I would say that Trump is definitely less suitable for the Oval Office than Mitt.

    But as far as pillaging companies, pension plans and taking away peoples jobs I think that
    former Gov. Willard “Mitt” Romney (R-MONEY) is the far worse culprit.

  5. I think by now the question of whether Romney is a Mormon is pretty well settled.

    The question of whether Drumpf is human or an Alien Lizard wearing a human-like skin is still open to debate.
