Donald Trump was first to announce he was skipping the Utah GOP debate, and John Kasich quickly followed. It has since been announced that the debate will be cancelled due to the defections.

Mormonophobia or fear of debating Ted Cruz one-on-one? Either way, I am guessing Utahans won’t be pleased at the disrespect from both candidates.

It was just a week and half ago that Trump said he would “love to take on Ted one-on-one. That would be fun.”

But hey, Trump’s flexible.
