Utah’s lieutenant governor says, barring huge changes, he won’t vote for Donald Trump

His boss may be backing Donald Trump, but Republican Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox said he won't vote for his party's nominee unless Trump drastically overhauls his tone and rhetoric.

"If there were some major changes to Trump, I think there's a way many of us could support him, but he hasn't shown any inclination toward those changes or doing things differently, so I think it's a long shot that he will change," Cox said in an interview.

Cox said he hasn't decided who he's going to support in November. He has met with Evan McMullin, who jumped into the race recently, billing himself as a conservative alternative to Trump, and is interested in learning more about him. He has researched Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. And it is possible, Cox said, that he will write in someone else entirely.

Cox will not vote for the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, and feels as strongly about opposing her as he does Trump.
