Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump captured the Arizona Republican primary on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press and news networks, as GOP candidates battled there and in caucuses in Utah.

Tuesday's contests came a week after Trump expanded his advantage in the Republican presidential race to more than 250 delegates after primary wins in Florida, Illinois and North Carolina.

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.

Jesse Jackson and Gary Hart petitioned for a more fair system.

5. The GOP have to see that

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!

6. "Democrats have to get out and vote!" Democrats don't HAVE to do anything. :)

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'.)

7. yup though it might take some

effort to shoot ourselves in the ass.
