Do not take Romney’s statement as support for Trump. He attacks Trump in the statement. Romney is a spineless empty suit who in my opinion is not fit for office. He is worse than a Rino but we will not be rid of him as long as the Mormon leaders tell the followers to vote for this two faced politician.
I’d say it is much more a case of the ignorant and uneducated in UT voting for Romney because of the faith rather than leadership doing what you suggest.
