Herbert has not honored his position as leader of this state to rebuke Trump. When asked for a comment last week by reporters at the Salt Lake Tribune, the governor remained silent  an evasiveness that speaks volumes about his leadership. Through his silence, he is not standing up for our state, for our veterans or for our values. That would take grit. That would require courage. Rather, out of fear he remains silently loyal to party and corporate donors instead of to the people of Utah and our values.
