Bernie Sanders held a massive rally in Salt Lake City, Utah Friday night. "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 delivered a powerful, content-laden speech to the excited crowd.





Via Salt Lake City Tribune:



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.



Sanders is making a major push to win Utah, which will hold its presidential caucus Tuesday, the same day Democrats are also voting in Arizona and Idaho. Beyond his visit Friday, his first of the 2016 race, he's spent heavily on TV and radio ads and mailers. His campaign announced that he'll hold another rally at West High School on Monday, with the doors opening at 1 p.m. and the program beginning at 4 p.m.



The Utah crowd was more than four times larger than the one he addressed in Idaho Falls earlier Friday, and it seemed to give him a jolt of energy after a rough week in which he lost five primary contests to Hillary Clinton.
