Could a Trump Nomination Make Arizona a Swing State?
Time Mag. ^ | March 21, 2016 | Sam Frizell

Both Republican and Democratic strategists say a Donald Trump nomination could put the normally rock-solid red state of Arizona in play in November.

Though the Sun Belt state has gone for Republican presidential candidates by wide margins since 2000, advisers from both parties see putting the real estate mogul at the top of the ticket as throwing that into limbo, thanks to a growing Hispanic population and a large bloc of moderate women.

I think the rats would be wiser to worry about losing states they take for granted if it’s Trump in November.

The Rats should be worried about losing NY in the general

I would love to see NY, PA, NJ become up for grabs, watch Hillary spend millions into the New York media market

Trump is going to re-draw the electoral map in November

I don’t like Trump but will vote for him against Hillary. I expect the same of Arizona.

I think so too. Stories like this are written to shape conditions, not accurately report on them.

>>> the most important objective for the 2016 should not be the White House or control of Congress

Okie doke. Not sure how you’re going to rule the ruins, but let’s just blow it all up anyway.

The state the dems are worried about becoming a new swing state is NEW YORK.

Trump should work NY hard just to make them convulse.

I really don’t think they’re worried about that.

New York, Trump vs. Clinton: Clinton +21:

I live in Arizona and there is not a chance in HELL Hillary or who ever the dens put up will win AZ. We have been on the front lines of obamas open borders and a lot of Arizonans are pissed! Contrary to what the MSM wants you to believe, a LOT of Hispanics do not like the illegal immigrant situation. Most of them came here the right way and they understand massive illegal immigration depresses wages and takes away vital social services from everyone else!

Remember all the articles that claimed Texas was turning "purple"? Never happened.

Neither will this.

Sounds to me like the fix is to stop giving them social services and prevent hiring them.

Yep, and for those that still aren’t convinced: By law: if you ever entered illegally or stayed illegally: no work permit, no citizenship - ever.

“Both Republican and Democratic strategists”

Paraphrasing, moronic women with large breasts who engage their mouths without putting what passes for their brains into gear! Examples: Meghan McLame and Julie Roginsky

I can say this, after Trump gets elected i’m looking to set up camp in Az, maybe just a good sized RV, because it might be good for me with 21 years of concrete work that i can contribute to building the wall, and getting a far better wage.

I barely may half my regular salary last year, its Obamas fault. If i made more i get penalized.
