(6,038 posts)1. I'm sure Arizonians are growing tired of a tRump lackey in John McCain's seat
I'm sure Kelly is looking better to them every day.

(31,261 posts)4. That state has changed.
It now has 4 reliable blue pivots, The Flagstaff area (Northern Arizona U), the Tucson area (University of Arizona and lots of other activity), The West Phoenix/Tempe nexus (Arizona State University and lots of other activity), and the western mostly Hispanic edge of the state heading toward California. Those were the regions that defeated McSally last time.
I wonder whether McSally will stick her nose up Trump's buttcrack again, or will she more wisely try to distance herself?

She and her hubby are diehard Trump haters.

(118,460 posts)8. Maybe all the people moving to Texas from California will change it?

(58,584 posts)9. Bound to have an effect...
not to mention all of the anti-Hispanic bullshit he's doing.

(5,553 posts)10. Yup, demographic shift
More Hispanic voters and a lot of progressive transplants who were priced out of coastal California

But yeah, a liberal from a blue state.
