 Democrats make a play to turn Arizona blue

Operatives and elected officials are pushing the Clinton campaign to invest real swing-state resources in Arizona for the first time in years.

PHOENIX — It has been two decades since Arizona’s red-state status was in doubt in a presidential election. But that was before Donald Trump and his build-a-border-wall platform won the GOP primary and inflamed anti-Republican sentiment among Latino voters.

On Tuesday, Trump’s campaign is dispatching vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence to the state for two public events, a tangible sign of Republicans’ concern that Arizona could be competitive this year — while local Democrats, thinking along the same lines, are intensely lobbying Hillary Clinton’s campaign and national Democratic groups for the resources to help make it happen.

It is insane what Trump is doing to the party. Besides the fracture within the party and flipping our entire platform (not to mention destroying fundraising that is needed for far more than his own run) he is allowing traditional Red states to flip. Arizona has gone Republican the past 64 years except one (Bill Clinton over Dole) yet now, Hillary is leading by about 4 on average.

To put this in comparison, this time in 2012, Romney was leading Obama by about 8 points in Arizona.

And won by about 10 points.

As many of us predicted, Hillary will put some red states in play (Arizona, Utah) and Trump will put no blue states in play.

The outcome in November is not going to be close, folks.
