On Tuesday, Trumps 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 Clintons campaign and national Democratic groups for the resources to help make it happen.
Prominent Arizona Democrats have been urging Bill Clinton to press the campaign to direct more money into the rapidly changing, Hispanic-heavy state, which he carried in 1996, the last time it went Democratic in a presidential election. They continued that push with officials during last weeks Democratic National Convention, making the case that Arizona should be on equal footing with a state like North Carolina, which President Barack Obama carried in 2008 and where Democrats are feeling increasingly confident.
There are already signs Arizona is on Trumps radar: The businessmans campaign has identified the state as a potential battleground, and recent polls have shown a close race between him and Clinton. Then theres Pences rallies Tuesday with voters in Phoenix and Tucson. In 2012, neither presidential candidate held a public event in Arizona after the party conventions.

Snicker. Not a chance. They say this every election, just like we say “Wisconsin is in play.”
With liberals like mccain and flake,I would say it is already blue.
This was a great song.

It may be changed to “Arizona, WTF happened to you?”
Al Gore made a decent showing there in 2000. Obama only lost it because of home state loyalty to John McCain. Romney won with no trouble due to the backlash against Obama’s lawsuit against the state.
Yea? California was reliable “red”
Pleez
McCain and Flake working overtime to insure that it happens too. Dump McCain now Flake next election.
Sure, Romney won there four years ago by more than nine points, but this time, Hillary will win.
And it really is a blue state, hate that the communist media have changed the color symbolism thing.
The purpose of open borders is to turn states blue. If Trump doesn’t win and shut down the invaders our republic is over. Period.
Would save us a bunch of bandwidth and bullsh!t wading.
Yup.
The Arizona of Sheriff Joe will never vote for Hillary.
Hitlery can’t draw 200 to a Pennsylvania event, but she is gonna go after Arizona?
Riiiiight.
Last poll I saw was Trump + 7.5%
Another BS story to try and keep Trump from swing states. AZ isn’t going to vote for Hillary. I wrote in another thread here that these are the kinds of stories the Dem’s and MSM are trying to use to deject, and depress us into not turning out in Nov - like they did in 2012.
All of us Trump supporters need to step back, take a breath, and remember it has been all of us who have gotten Trump this far - thru all the BS primaries, thru all the MSM BS - us!
“The purpose of open borders is to turn states blue. If Trump doesnt win and shut down the invaders our republic is over. Period.”
Yup.
And John McCain will be right there to help them. Got to keep the Uniparty in the game - dontchaknow.
If she is the big national winner she expects to be, Mrs. Bill will easily take AZ too.
No, although I do think people from time to time thought CA might be closer-—esp. since just 15 years ago it had a GOP Governor, Atty. Gen., and U.S. Senator.
