Without Utah's 6 electoral votes, that would mean Der Groper would have to make that up by winning an additional state somewhere else, one that is blue.

It makes his path to 270 that much more difficult.

Hillary's path to 270 already has factored in losing Utah. So, even if a 3rd party candidate wins, no change for her.

Trump's path REQUIRES winning Utah, or he must make it up somewhere else.
