GOP Hack: Trump is going to lose Arizona

[RandySF]

Three weeks until Election Day, the Trump campaign and the RNC are at risk of letting historically red Arizona slip away.

"I think he's going to lose Arizona," said Matthew Benson, a Republican state operative and former senior aide to Gov. Jan Brewer. "Barring something unforeseen, Trump is going to lose Arizona, and you're still not seeing the type of activity you'd expect to see if he expects to save it."

The campaign has placed few resources in the state. There are five staffers aiding Trump's bid, paid for by a combination of the campaign, the RNC and the Arizona Republican Party.

Last month, both an Arizona Republic/Arizona State University poll and an NBC News/WSJ/Marist poll showed Trump and Clinton with a one percentage point margin of each other in the state.

1. let's hope...

and keep our fingers crossed that AZ comes out BLUE!

2. It would be a sweet point of the evening

if Arizona lit up blue on the tv machine on November 8th.

And you know, I always did like blue.

If voters toss Joe Arpaio off the train the same evening, that would be pretty sweet as well.

3. And hopefully election day is NOT "a good day for John McCain"...

5. This may be the end of McCain. Trumpsters are not going to vote for him.

6. A really sweet night: Sheriff Joe and McGrumpy lose and Hillary wins the state!!!

7. Unfortunately, I think John McCain has a few more miles on him...

...and MAJOR name recognition. Both he and Arizona's other Senator, Jeff Flake, have been anti-tRump from the git-go, and for that I give him props. As much as I would like to see McCain's seat go to the Democratic challenger, Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, I do take some measure of comfort that Senator McCain respects Hillary Clinton (relatively) and appears to be able to compromise for the good of the Republic.
