Tucson is about 150 miles from the New Mexico border and Trump visited on Monday. Gallup has 20,000 people and is 185 miles from Flagstaff. Farmington has 45,000 and is nearly 300 miles from Flagstaff. Tucson is 275 miles from Las Cruces.
I’m one of those living in between Tucson and New Mexico. There is a lot of open space where I’m at!
Tucson is still considered SE AZ, and Trump should obviously target it as a squishy area. Obviously the Gallup (or Farmington) area in the middle of the Indian Country ought to be another target for Trump.
I expect with that “let’s get rid of the oil industry” bit from Plugs, Trump’s margins in “Little Texas” (East NM) are going to soar through the roof. He should barnstorm the state, even in the old Spanish North, which used to be Republican prior to the Depression (conversely, the areas in Southern Colorado with a similar history, went in Trump’s direction in 2016). I think Trump should also be unafraid to go into Colorado. Despite the moonbats dragging the state the wrong way, I don’t think it’s entirely out of reach.
Well, at least you don't have to mow it!
