<p>Tempers flared at the rally, but without the violence that marred Mr Trump&#8217;s event in Chicago a week earlier.</p>
<p>He never goaded the protesters as he usually does at campaign events.</p>
<p>For hours, about two dozen protesters parked their cars in the middle of the main road to the event, unfurling banners reading &#8220;Dump Trump&#8221; and &#8220;Must Stop Trump&#8221;, and chanting &#8220;Trump is hate&#8221;.</p>
<p>Traffic was backed up for miles, with drivers honking in fury.</p>
<p>The road was eventually cleared and protesters marched down the road to the rally site, weaving between Trump supporters who booed and jeered them.</p>
<p>Mr Trump was in Arizona to campaign ahead of Tuesday&#8217;s primary in which the winner will take all 58 delegates at stake.</p>
<p>Polls show him leading his rivals in the border state where his hard line on immigration has drawn support from Republican voters.</p>
<p>Mr Trump was introduced at the rally by Joe Arpaio, the tough-talking sheriff of Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix and nearly two-thirds of Arizona&#8217;s population.</p>
<p>Mr Arpaio has supported harsh measures to deal with immigrants living illegally in the US. He has forced inmates to wear pink underwear and live outside in tents during 38C-plus heat.</p>

<p>Mr Trump&#8217;s main rivals, Ted Cruz and John Kasich, are desperately trying to prevent the real estate mogul from accumulating the 1,237 delegates needed to secure the nomination at the party&#8217;s national convention in July.</p>
<p>They are hoping for a contested convention in which delegates would be freed to turn from Mr Trump if he failed to win a majority on the first ballot.</p>
<p>He has won 678 delegates so far. Mr Cruz is in second place with 423 delegates, and Mr Kasich is third with 143.</p>
<p>His rivals hope to offset a likely Trump win in Arizona on Tuesday with a strong showing in the Utah caucuses, where Mormons account for two-thirds of the state&#8217;s three million residents.</p>
<p>Limited polling shows Mr Trump running second to Mr Cruz, but ahead of Mr Kasich, said Jason Perry, director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah.</p>
<p>The delegates will be distributed according to percentage of votes &#8211; unless a candidate gets more than 50%, which would give that person all 40 delegates.</p>
<p>Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee and the Mormon faith&#8217;s most visible member, said he intends to vote for Mr Cruz in the caucuses, but stopped short of endorsing the Texas senator, an uncompromising conservative.<br />
In Arizona, thousands of Trump supporters gathered for the outdoor rally in the Phoenix suburb of Fountain Hills where Mr Arpaio lives.</p>
<p>Officers with the sheriff&#8217;s department were posted throughout the park, on rooftops and on patrol.</p>
<p>Some had feared that the event in Fountain Hills could descend into violence reminiscent of last week&#8217;s rally in Chicago, which was cancelled over safety concerns.</p>
<p>Confrontations involving protesters, Trump supporters and police have become standard at his rallies across the country.</p>
<p>Later in Tucson, dozens of protesters made their way into another Trump rally and interrupted him as he spoke.</p>
<p>In typical form, he had the protesters kicked out, but urged the crowd of about 1,000 people to be nice to them.</p>
