With regard to Utah, holding Cruz under 50% is a huge priority for Trump. If Cruz gets 50%, he gets all 40 delegates from Utah. However, if Cruz gets 49% (or less), those 40 delegates get split between Trump and Kasich (provided they get to the 15% threshold). So basically all three would get 13 delegates (39) with the extra one going to the one with the highest vote total.

So if Trump manages that and he also picks up American Samoa and AZ, he will end the night with 80 delegates to Cruz's 14 - not a bad night at all.

Not sure what the math is here at 80-14 if Cruz is the only one who can beat Trump. Does 14 now beat 80?

I’m still wondering if Utah voters think Cruz will win easily, how many of them will not bother to vote?
