What a complimentary article for all of us here in Utah. I am so glad you love this state as much as I do. I was not born here but it is my state. I too think of it as lovingly as you but could never have written it as well as you. It was a great caucus evening for sure, we do stand for our morals, dignity, and goodness here, we know what is right!!!

Mr Donnelly, Thank you for your kind words. As a Utahn for most of my life (except for time in the military and eight years pursuing my career), I find that words of a complimentary nature tend to help me to "aim higher" and to strive to live up to your description. Thank you for the challenge that we can all be better.

Well said. That too is my experience, as an Englishman who lived in Utah for six years. As a Latter-Day Saint I have to also say how proud I am of Utahns for not jumping on the Trump bandwagon, but continuing to value courtesy, respect, dignity and other personal qualities that are so important for protecting the fragile fabric of civil society. And which Trump so clearly lacks.

Dear Mr Donnelly (sorry if I spelled your name wrong... I didn't get a good look at it before I clicked on the "comment" box). Thank you so very much for taking the time to write this little article. I just finished my own caucus night, got home, tried to catch up on some news... and here you are! I think you just had to write this so that I could end my day with a bit of sunshine. ^_^ All I can say is this: to see that effect all around you, you must have it within you as well. So, thanks for bringing a bit of "Utah" to Utah. Thanks for your own heart. It makes me want to meet you and just shake your hand. People like you are what makes this a great place to live. Thanks!!
