* LIVE TUE 3/22 ELECTION THREAD (AZ and UT)

Self | 3/22 | tatown

AZ - 58 delegates (Winner Take All)

UT - 40 delegates (Proportional, WTA > 50%)

[Rational Thought]

LOL!

Maybe Sen Cruz can ignore the AZ vote and just cite that article in a victory speech?

[tatown]

Where did all the paid Cruz trolls suddenly run off to?

Most of that “1%” is probably early vote. It looks like thy will blow away that 500K turnout from 2012, there’s already 400K votes in without Maricopa County day of election votes counted.

In response to your post: Personally, I don’t WANT to despise Cruz, but his recent behavior has been appalling.

However, I’ll try to be fair in the analysis. I think that Cruz’s issue was that he jumped into the race early, yes, but that he didn’t capitalize on it. He took some positions, but he didn’t take STANDS. Nor risks. He had the chance to stand out and failed to do so.

And so when Trump came into the race saying what we were all thinking and screaming for the last 20 years or so, he siphoned a massive chunk of Cruz’s support away from him.

Thank you, Lady.

Maybe that is the Cryin’, Lyin’, Cruz Cuckoo Express! All aboard for Cukoo-monga!

CNN showing 753 delegates with Missouri.

That means Trump just needs 484 in the remaining states, and many of those are in the Northeast.

By that count Ted winning the nomination outright is now a virtual impossibility. He will not win NJ, and will get few, if any, delegates from NY.

He could sweep everything else but those two and still be short in Cleveland.

I’ve got to check the math against other sources, but his window is narrower then the eye of the needle.

[Rastus]

I’m fairly confident Trump is the nominee, but these barnacles need to be scraped off. At this point, they’re just creating narratives for the Democrats to use against DJT in the fall.

[Shortstop7]

I really, really like your tagline.

[Tuxedo]

Cruz has been a disappointment. I liked him before he went after Trump. He could have kept the high road and Trump warned him not to attack. Since then, he has spiraled out of control, much like Rubio did. Hopefully, Skankles will suffer similarly in the fall.

stabbing their teddy bears?

[Theodore R.]

I think you are on target with your analysis.

Just mentioned on CNN, AZ is a closed primary.

So much for that Cruz talking point.

OMG! Not another lecture! Please don’t read the commie Dr. Seuss again...puhhhleeassse!

[Yomin Postelnik]

How many households in the nation have two good conservatives? Who cares who you voted for? You're both blessed! Be blessed! Stay blessed! Primary - pri·ma·ry - ˈprīˌmerē,ˈprīm(ə)rē - adjective A chance for people who agree 99% of the time to smash each other for no reason at all. Popcorn not required!

[ShivaFan]

Looks like Cruz is barely beating Rubio! LOL!
