Even as Don­ald Trump’s strong per­form­ance Tues­day night was a ser­i­ous set­back to the anti-Trump move­ment, the biggest obstacles to stop­ping Trump are his own Re­pub­lic­an rivals. In­stead of work­ing to­geth­er and deny­ing Trump del­eg­ates, both Ted Cruz and John Kasich have pur­sued self-de­struct­ive, self-in­ter­ested strategies that seemed de­signed more to one-up each oth­er than take on the front-run­ner in the race.

Poll: Utah would vote for a Democrat for president over Trump

If Donald Trump becomes the Republican Party’s nominee, Utahns would vote for a Democrat for president in November for the first time in more than 50 years, according to a new Deseret News/KSL poll.

The cluster of super PACs supporting Ted Cruz cranked up both fundraising and spending last month as the Republican field narrowed.

The six major outside groups together raised $7.9 million and spent $11.5 million, ending the month with $20 million cash on hand, according to their latest filings with the Federal Election Commission.

The presidential race will take a detour from domestic sniping on Monday as Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Trump’s two Republican opponents converge on Washington to address a key pro-Israel group.

Clinton plans to use her morning speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee to argue that she has what it takes to be a strong commander-in-chief working for the common good of the United States and Israel while the other people running for president, particularly Trump, aren’t fit for the job.

GOP Candidates’ Twisting Paths to Nomination

The term “delegate math” is likely to become more popular in the coming weeks, as the three remaining Republican candidates all try to bring in enough delegates to either win on the first ballot (businessman Donald Trump and Texas Sen.
