WASHINGTON ― Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) on Sunday said that Donald Trump risks losing Arizona, a longstanding Republican stronghold, over his inflammatory comments about immigrants and immigration.
When asked whether Hillary Clinton could win there, Flake responded, Bill Clinton won Arizona. So yes, its possible.
No Democrat has won the state in the 20 years since Bill Clintons victory in 1996. Mitt Romney won Arizona by 9 points in 2012.
The statements he made out of the gate about those crossing the border being rapists and whatnot ― that doesnt sit well, Flake said on CBSs Face the Nation, referring to Trump. And then to refer to a judge born in Indiana as a Mexican in a pejorative way ― you cant expect to win Arizona when you make statements like that, and you offend a large and growing demographic needlessly.
