How The March 22 Primary Elections Went Down
About 2 percent of caucus sites are reporting across 11 counties in Utah. Cruz is above 50 percent in all 11 counties, and his share ranges from 55 percent (Millard County) to 80 percent (Rich County). As Harry said, this is looking like a clean 40 delegate sweep for Cruz. Tonight is looking like a pretty cut-and-dry night, delegate-wise.
We’ve got the first official returns from Utah, and it’s Cruz in a rout. He leads 62 percent to Trump’s 23 percent. If those results hold, he’ll win all 40 delegates from the state.
So far this year, Clinton’s map has resembled Barack Obama’s from 2008 as much as her own in 2008, but Arizona is one of the states she won both this year and in 2016.
But let’s raise the bar a little higher. In which states have the Clintons gone 5-for-5? That means a win for Bill Clinton in the 1992 Democratic primary, and both the 1992 and 1996 general elections — and a win for Hillary Clinton in both 2008 and 2016.
Arizona doesn’t qualify. Bill Clinton won it in the 1996 general election, but lost it in both the 1992 general election and primary.
As far as I can tell, the only 5-for-5 Clinton states so far are Arkansas, Tennessee and Ohio.
Several other states could potentially join them, however, where the Clintons are 4-for-4 and which haven’t voted yet in the Democratic primary yet this year. They include Kentucky, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
