On the helm of the Brussels terrorist attacks, voters were able to vote in three states for Democrats and two states for Republicans. In the Arizona Primary held on March 22, 2016 a winner-take-all state, Trump and Clinton won by more than 15 percent and claimed 58 and 51 delegates for their respective campaigns. Bernie Sanders surprised many as he did in Michigan by dominating Idaho and Utah and claiming roughly 80 percent of the vote. Ted Cruz won Utah and got 69 percent of the vote. This allowed him to take all of the delegates in Idaho and keep Donald Trump from getting a share and getting closer to the nomination. The only candidate who did not win any delegates was Ohio governor John Kasich who got 10 percent of the vote in Arizona and 17 percent of the vote in Utah. The candidates focused on terrorism in their victory speeches. Hillary Clinton fired shots at Donald Trump stating that the last thing we need is a giant wall. The next republican Primary is in Wisconsin on April 5th.
