Where today's GOP fits into Arizona's Republican past

Brit McCandless Farmer  20 hrs ago


Traditionally a Republican stronghold, Arizona has rarely been a state that political analysts consider on Election Day. Aside from 1996, when Bill Clinton won by two percentage points, the Grand Canyon State hasn't voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1948.

But this year, polling indicates Arizona is worth watching.

"Arizona should not be up for grabs," said 60 Minutes correspondent John Dickerson, who reported from the state for 60 Minutes. "And Arizona is up for grabs because there's something happening in Arizona that's actually happening in the larger country, which is that the electorate is becoming more diverse."

Latinos — many of whom are young, American-born, and coming of voting age — currently make up about one-third of the state's population, which is rapidly growing. Roughly 60 percent of Arizonans live in Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale. It was the largest county the president won in the 2016 election, and it is one of the fastest growing counties in the country.

But Arizona's changing demographics and burgeoning population are not enough to explain the state's shift, particularly given the fact that the state's proportions of registered Republicans and Democrats have remained mostly stable. Registered Republicans still outnumber registered Democrats.

Instead, the changes are also playing out within Arizona's Republican Party itself.

Swell, more anal analysis of Arizona from a far-left screed.  Pizz off, CBS.
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

Excellent questions.

The GOP has to do some critical self-evaluation. 

I do not like the RNC.  They are weak and with little solid form.

The AZ republican party needs to make sure they are staying true to principles.  People respect that more than they do those who pander.

It will take years to fix the train wreck McStain made of the AZ GOP.

   It will take just as long for Texas to remove the stain of Cornyn.  People just don't realize the pull a Senior Senator has on the State Party Dynamics, especially if he serves 3 or more terms.
