Two Faces of the GOP

Rick Klein: “To know him is to love him or to hate him – and Republicans look likely to do some of both when it comes to Donald Trump, in the latest round of voting. Tuesday’s voting, in neighboring Arizona and Utah, appears likely to tell the GOP’s divide. Border-conscious and senior-heavy Arizona – home to Sheriff Joe Arpaio – seems poised to deliver all its delegates to Trump. Deeply religious and more pro-immigrant Utah – home to Mitt Romney – is likely to reject Trump overwhelmingly, with Ted Cruz in striking distance of turning the state into a winner-take-all.”

“Trump is likely to walk away with the most delegates from the day, again. But the day figures to provide little to no clarity, beyond revealing the disparate faces of the GOP of 2016. No players will be able to declare clean victories, and the long, ugly slog of the nominating race will continue.”
