Tuesday again and another three primaries. Arizona, Utah, and Idaho. Hillary is favored to win Arizona. Sanders is favored to win in Utah and Idaho. Arizona is a closed primary and has 75 delegates up for grabs. Since Arizona is a closed primary, Bernie Sanders wont be able to rely on just independents to win.
Hillary takes on Donald Trump, at her rally on Arizona yesterday.
Arizona will award just 75 delegates in Tuesday’s primary, but it represents a battleground in the fight over immigration reform. Democrats believe Mr. Trump’s remarks about immigrants and his signature proposal to build a wall on the Mexican border could galvanize Latinos to vote in larger numbers in November, potentially turning states like Arizona and Colorado blue.
Mrs. Clinton has mocked Mr. Trump’s proposal to build a wall.
“He’s talking about a very tall wall, right, a beautiful tall wall, the most beautiful tall wall, better than the Great Wall of China,” Mrs. Clinton said in the last Democratic debate, impersonating Mr. Trump’s accent.
Hillary on Sheriff Arpaio. She is not afraid of telling Arpaio where she stands on his anti-immigration policies.
Hillary Clinton sharply denounced Sheriff Joe Arpaio, saying the Maricopa County sheriff, who became the face of hard-line anti-immigration policies because of his tactics here, had treated his “fellow human beings with disrespect” and contempt.”
“It just makes my heart sink,” Mrs. Clinton told a rally of mostly Latino supporters on Monday. “We are better than that.”
Hillary urged her supporters to make sure they vote on Tuesday. One supporter spoke out.
Got to love her sense of humor.
“There is an opportunity for everybody in Arizona to go out and vote for the kind of future you want, the kind of president you want,” she said, when a man interrupted with: “We want you!”
A coy Mrs. Clinton said, “Well, I want you to want me.”
Sanders should win Utah which has 33 delegates and Idaho 23 delegates; not sure what the delegate breakdown will be in these two races. What we do know; Clinton will maintain her substantial delegate lead.
Going into Tuesday, Hillary has a pledged delegate lead of +321. Even if Clinton loses Arizona, she will maintain her lead. Sanders needs to win by enormous margins to cut into Clinton delegate lead.
At this point in the race, and by defeating Sanders in Arizona, Hillary needs to turn all her attention toward the general election.
Soundly defeating Sanders in Arizona could help clear the way for Clinton's march to the nomination at a crucial point when published reports indicate Obama has quietly begun making the case that it's time for the party to coalesce around her candidacy.
