SALT LAKE CITY – Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is set to find out whether his brash demeanor will plague him in another Western state with a culture rooted in the Mormon faith that places a high value on manners and amiability.
The brash businessman lost to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in Mormon-heavy Idaho last week, and indications are he may be headed for trouble in Utah where the religion's predominates and where Trump-basher Mitt Romney is revered.
Jason Perry, director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah, says limited polling shows Trump running second to Cruz, but ahead of Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
Perry says Cruz is the front runner to win in Utah, in part, because he's positioned to inherit voters who were leaning toward Sen. Marco Rubio.
