Clinton spoke at Stanford University one day after terror attacks killed more than 30 people in Brussels, Belgium. He peaked in early February – just days after his first victory in Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses – with a slim, 2-point edge over Clinton, but has now dropped to trailing her by 2.4 points. He also picked up 27 delegates in the Arizona primary, in which Clinton won 46, gaining almost 60 percent of the vote.
Mrs Clinton won in Arizona, maintaining a lopsided advantage over Bernie Sanders in the Democratic race despite his wins in Utah and Idaho on the same night. “I’m a Scott Walker Republican”, he said.
Republicans have no more primaries scheduled for this month.
Clinton and Trump’s Republican rivals piled on with questions about his temperament and readiness to serve as commander in chief, and condemned his calls to diminish USA involvement with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. Utah’s 40 delegates could have been allocated proportionally, but the state allows a candidate to sweep all 40 delegates if he or she receives a minimum 50 percent of the vote.
Another sign that Cruz would win a two-man race against Trump is that an overwhelming majority of Wisconsin Republicans have a favorable view of Cruz, while Trump’s overall favorability rating is negative.
Ahead of Wisconsin’s April 5 primary contest, state governor Mr Walker, who dropped out of the race previous year, declared that only Mr Cruz could catch Mr Trump as time runs short in the primary season.
“Right now, Kasich’s role is really being a spoiler”, Cruz told CNN.

“I think he’s going for them and I think he’s going for a respectable turnout in the sense of maybe he can win a congressional district or two”, Lee said. “I have millions of votes more than anybody”. Cruz had a strong lead in Utah in polls leading up to Tuesday and was expected to take the state, according to FiveThirtyEight’s polling averages. Trump had questioned whether Romney, an elder in the Mormon church, was really a Mormon.

Analysts suggest Sanders could sweep three upcoming Democratic caucuses on Saturday in Washington state, Alaska and Hawaii, where the only Hindu-American member of the US House Tulsi Gabbard has been one of Sanders’ highest-profile surrogates. But he has a path to the nomination if he continues to win states that award all or most of their delegates to the victor.
