A rock star of a presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders brought his show to Salt Lake City Friday afternoon and promised an encore on Monday for the hundreds of supporters who were turned away.

"It looks like I got some bad information; somebody told me Utah was a Republican state," said Sanders, the senator from Vermont, shortly after taking the stage set up in the parking lot inside This Is the Place Heritage Park. He spoke to a massive crowd that organizers estimated at 14,000 people.

"I gather that my good friend, Donald Trump, is here in Salt Lake City," Sanders said, "I'm kidding, he's not that good of a friend. Let me say this: Donald Trump would not be elected president."

He said the American public would reject the Republican front-runner for his comments about Mexicans, women and his efforts to discredit President Barack Obama through the "birther" movement. Noting that Obama's father came from Kenya and his from Poland, Sanders said no one had asked to see his birth certificate and suggested it was because he's white.

During a rambling speech, in which he often didn't finish one applause line before moving to another, Donald Trump on Friday vilified Ted Cruz, questioned Mitt Romney's Mormon faith and promised to visit Utah again soon.

Trump spent 45 minutes with a tightly packed, rowdy crowd of about 500 at the Infinity Event Center in downtown Salt Lake City. He said he saw a big protest on the streets as his car drove from the airport, calling some of them agitators. No protesters disrupted Trump's speech, but a group outside the building blocked attendees from leaving for 15 minutes.
