Quote:I don't see Cruz winning anything in the Northeast, but go ahead and hope for that

 

The thing is, he doesn't have to win.  He just needs to take delegates whether it's him or Kasich.  Him winning enough delegates to get the nomination is by far a long shot, but the most likely certainty is there will be no candidate going into the convention with enough delegates to win.

 

Quote:I think the point here is that an overtly religious state voting for a candidate with overtly religious political positions may not be indicative of the voting preferences elsewhere. 

 

I don't think that it has to do with religion as much as you look at it.  I think that it's more of the actual republican party waking up and voting against Donald Trump.

 

As I've stated before and will say it again, even though he is in the lead, he doesn't have the majority of his party behind him.  Now that the field is narrowed down, the real support (or lack thereof) is coming out.

 

Where is the support from people that were behind other candidates?  Where do people that supported Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, etc. put their support now?  It's looking like it's most certainly not Trump.  Utah is a traditionally red state, and it is not because of religion.

 

What will be interesting to see is how Arizona votes tomorrow.
