The 25-minute speech at the University of Utah included the type of forceful rhetoric that cannot be unsaid in the event that Trump wins the nomination and Republicans try to coalesce around him.
It was a startling rebuke by a party leader against a presidential front-runner, just two days after scores of voters across the country chose Trump as their candidate.
The critique laced into Trump’s character, his policy positions, his business acumen and his temperament, warning that the country’s future was at risk in Trump’s hands.

Mere hours after Mitt Romney lambasted Donald Trump as a “phony” who “lacks the temperament to be president” and is “very, very not smart,” Trump fired back at the former Massachusetts governor from a campaign rally in Portland, Maine.
As Romney predicted he would, Trump went after him personally, calling him a chicken, a “choke artist” and a loser. Trump also mocked Romney for seeking Trump’s endorsement when he ran for president in 2012.
“I could have said, ‘Mitt, drop to your knees.’ He would have dropped to his knees,” Trump said.
