Donald Trump wins Arizona Republican primary

Source: USA Today

Trump had been favored in Arizona, which, as a winner-take-all state, will award all of its 58 delegates to the New York billionaire.

"It looks like we're doing very well in Arizona, and very well pretty much everyplace else," Trump said Monday at a news conference in Washington. The New York billionaire held large rallies Saturday in Fountain Hills, Ariz., and Tucson.

Trump will win the nomination unless they pull some dirty tricks at the convention, but he will probably wrap it up. That's really scary having him come that much closer to the White House.
Democrats have to get out and vote!

We can shoot ourselves in the foot and see Donald elected if we damn well want to. "I'm not voting for ----- ------." (On second thought, the election of Trump would represent 'shooting ourselves' in a body part much more vital than our 'foot'.)
