Rep. Martha McSally, a Republican from Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District, had been dodging the question over whether she will support Donald Trump as her party’s nominee. Now that Donald Trump’s path to the GOP nomination has been cleared by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Ohio Gov. John Kasich dropping out of the race, McSally said she’s not ready to endorse the presumptive nominee just as yet.

U.S. Sen. John McCain acknowledged that Donald Trump’s presence at the top of the Republican ticket could make for a more perilous path to re-election, but said he was still confident that he would win a sixth term in November.

Some of Donald Trump’s surrogates in Arizona are sounding the alarm about an Arizona GOP directive that they say may hurt the tycoon in his battle with Ted Cruz for delegates to the Republican National Convention.

DeWit agrees with a growing sentiment among some activists that the Arizona Republican Party’s requirement that district and county parties allow proxy votes in selecting state convention delegates hurts Trump and aids Cruz.

On March 22, 286,743 Arizona voters cast their ballots for Donald Trump to be the Republican Party presidential nominee. Ted Cruz got 172,294 votes - fewer votes than Bernie Sanders - in a state that is supposed to be conservative.

Some longtime Republican activists are speculating that the Arizona Republican Party’s decision to allow the use of proxy votes at the 40 district and county meetings (where 1,251 delegates to the party’s April 30 state convention were elected) is not only a break from decades of precedent, but potentially a strategy to undermine Trump.

In most presidential election years, the selection of delegates to the national conventions is of little import. But with Cruz and Trump preparing to slug it out at what’s expected to be the first brokered Republican convention in decades, those delegates have taken on a new significance.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton rolled to primary victories Tuesday in Arizona on a day that saw enthusiastic voters standing in line for several hours for the opportunity to weigh in on the divisive presidential race.

A frenzied weekend of raucous campaign rallies across the state comes down to this: Will establishment Republicans trying to halt businessman Donald Trump's ride to the party nomination be able to slow him down in Arizona?
