Trump won Arizona, Cruz won Utah -- but Arizona was bigger and gave Trump all of its 58 delegates in a winner-take-all primary. Cruz took the 40 delegates in winner-take-all Utah.
All of the Democratic races awarded delegates proportionally. Hillary Clinton won Arizona, Sanders won Utah and Idaho -- and Americans Abroad. So this added up to 54 for Clinton and 71 for Sanders. Add in the Americans Abroad tally, which came in early in the day, and you have a gain of 58 for Clinton, 80 for Sanders.
The big news of the night, however, is the size of Sanders' wins in Utah (80%) and Idaho (78%). The turnout for him was yu-uu-uge. That gives him momentum heading into Washington State and Wisconsin, although he still has an uphill battle. But efforts by Clinton and the mainstream media to get him to drop out are premature. He's going to the convention. And well he should.
