AZ - 58 delegates (Winner Take All)
UT - 40 delegates (Proportional, WTA > 50%)
This site is the best way to keep up with Trump. They put up everything that he does.

A split decision.
UT was tailor-made for Cruz who appeals to a base of very conservative and religious voters.
That’s not the country and it isn’t the mainstream of the Republican Party.
You're absolutely right. I noticed a very interesting dynamic at the AIPAC conference. In the beginning the audience response was tepid, even when he made strong statements. But as the speech wore on, they seemed to warm to him and even gave him a few standing ovations. That happened in the debates a couple times, esp when the audience was packed with elites.
I think to know Donald is to love him, and most of the people who hate him really don't know him.
Trump remains on path to get the nomination. Cruz’s chances dim. That’s my take from it.
Nothing unexpected from tonight at all, really. On to Wisconsin, where Trump leads. April 5. 42 delegates. Winner Take All by CD +18 state at-large to the winner of the state.
Marquette Law School’s polling is very good in that state. It’s showing Trump with a 10-point lead (but that was in the end of February). Then onto my home state of New York, where Cruz be shown some New York values.
It is sick, but I am sure TRUMP will never use her emotional stuff, but would make hay with her Council on Foreign Relations work, as an architect of the North American Community, her Bush connections, there is stuff on the record.
TRUMP has never even hit Ted with what all of us already know, and we wondered why that is. TRUMP waits. He waits until they come after him and he hits them *in kind*.
Ted let his PAC use Melania in an ad against Donald. TRUMP hits back, has warned since last June that he hits back and that he will hit twice as hard. So, who knows. Ted can control his PAC’s philosophy or denounce their ad.
He failed, again, on both counts.
Cruz won in UT. He still wont win anywhere else.
This is just like Kasich in OH. Irrelevant going forward.
I haven't read any analysis, but I wonder how much Kasich makes Trump's path more difficult. I think it is great that Kasich is in the race because it really is driving Cruz crazy. Donald refusing to debate him one on one is driving him crazy, also. I think one day we'll turn on the TV and there will be Ted - going crazy!
The GOP hates him for what he will do to their power, not because he is “too liberal,” but they can’t admit they really want to keep the borders open wide. So, they paint him as this terrible devil. That he can be doing so well in the face of this, frankly, shameful smear job says a lot about him. I’ve seen his composure slip as little when he acknowledges the challenges presented by having $60M+ spent to destroy a single man. We forget sometimes, but he’s only human. Those moments further cement my respect for him.
Amanda is hateful, horrible person to have on even as opposition. “ ******
I agree, but the other panelists are so limp towards her harping. Jeffery Lord gets bounced like a rubber ball, by Amanda, all over the place, all of the time. Anderson does indulge Amanda, and she interrupts and personifies TDS.
Jeffery Lord is a zero, for a TRUMP pundit. Amanda deserves Katrina Pierson. lol.
You'll have to forgive young JediJones - he believes that America is "a democracy where leaders followed the dictates of the people".

Not, apparently, a Constitutional Republic...
Hat tip to freeper Conservative Gato. :)
Utah votes “Romney/Beck 2016” ... no surprise here
It was a CRUZ PAC.
You're absolutely right. If Jeb Bush held every single view, and shared every position and policy that Trump has, the gopE would be falling all over themselves and ! would have been proclaimed the nominee already. It is so difficult to see all these things come into focus so rapidly and consecutively. Think of where your consciousness was pre-Trump. I think politics will now be chronicled in America as pre and post Trump. He has been that much of an impact.
You need to go to your safe space and check your cutlass in the cubby.
Night dear jenny.
THANK you for posting this for us! I appreciate it very much.
This is a nightmare scene, it sounds like. Cruz should have won fair and square. Why all the incompetence and on-site manipulation. They should not have needed ballot stuffing!
Desperate, I presume, to get Cruz well over 50, to sustain his ruse as a candidate.
Terrible and unnecessary. Or, was it?
Maybe they feared he would not get to 50.
Give it up, pup. Your guy is down. We’re into the stealing elections discussion, now. Move along with the crowd and catch up.... and quit that whining.
Is that not stunning news! They should not have had to cheat to get Cruz over the line in Utah. I can hardly believe it. There must have been fear that he could not make 50, and did not want to risk those delegates being split.
“.....where Cruz be shown some New York values. “
WHOO HOO! THAT, I can’t wait for. :)
