Arizona is not a blue dog state. There is a large gap between a mostly progressive democrat party and a batshit insane republican party.
And it might also have to do with Idaho and South Carolina going first, with everyone else dropping out before super tuesday even happens. Most of the states don't even get a real choice.
I hate how the primaries do that. That is indeed bullshit. That sets up momentum for the rest of the primaries and they aren't really swing states. So stupid. All primaries should be on the same day.
While I'm wishing for voting in this country that isn't dumb as hell: let's do no primaries at all and STAR voting in the general.
I'm partial to RCV but either would be better.
