Democrats eye Arizona, Georgia and Texas as potentially winnable

[marmar]

(Guardian UK) Former vice-president Joe Biden’s presidential campaign sees Arizona, Texas and Georgia as possible pathways to victory and ousting Donald Trump from the White House.

During a press briefing with reporters top Biden campaign officials displayed a map of the states that they see as winnable. The map showed Arizona, Texas and Georgia in the light pink color marked as “expand” states.

“We really feel like all of these states are legitimately in play,” Biden’s campaign manager, Jen O’Malley Dillon, said.

Democrats have not won any of those three states in the past two election cycles. They all have Republican governors. Texas in particular is a state Democrats have long hoped to put in their column, but so far to no avail. .............(more)

1. GA and TX are mirages

AZ is definitely winnable. GA and TX are close enough that trump has to spend money defending them, but doubtful they go blue. Would like to see Biden concentrate on winning winnable states, and if by chance those other states go blue, so much the better.
They've done a superb job so far, I assume they'll continue until the end.

2. Agree 100%. I'd love to see Democrats pour resources into Arizona, but not GA/TX...

at least not yet. They should focus those efforts on PA, MI, WI and even NC.

The only caveat is that GA is featuring TWO senate races, one of which will probably go to a runoff early next year. If one, or both, are within reach, spend away.

3. Put TX out there and make republican spend there

4. Please stay in WI, MI and PA. Those are the most winnable and will take us to 270 and beyond

5. At the very least, make them spend money to defend them...

Although I think AZ is very winnable, with TX not far behind and GA a bit more problematic.

6. with GOTV and a wave election, its very possible to see happen and why GOP/trump's ONLY

tactic is to suppress the vote by either/all rigging the USPS and mail in ballots, prevent people from voting in person at polling station by armed intimation, or removing/limiting in-person voting by 90% in battleground states AND districts
