1. Pathetic. Low educational levels and poverty are no excuse.

Desert climate could be, I suppose. Life-challenging climates tend to produce more conservative cultures than kinder, gentler ones. But most of these people have had HVAC and attached garages for decades now.

Still, the national pattern holds true for Biden. Interesting that AZ cons are going for Warren and rejecting Sanders, while those in NH are apparently seeing them as alternatives to each other.

Poor Harris. Where are AZ's Hispanics on this, those who aren't RW?

2. I have never understood the concept of voting against one's own interests...

[Hortensis]

3. Yes, but maybe depends on how self interests are defined?

I remember research, done before things got this crazy, showed that most people voted their ideals, not strictly self interest, even poor people. I've never voted for a tax break because all my adult life we've always had veterans, the mentally ill and others, with grave unmet needs, but in its own way I suppose I saw tending to people sleeping under the shrubs I walked by as in my interest.

These people need to understand they should be voting for their children's and grandchildren's interests.

5. Agreed...

4. If this is accurate its hard to not to like Joe as our nominee.

It also shows how weak Bernie is in certain states.

6. Aha!

[Autumn]

7. Yay! A 2 point lead!!! Arizona has voted Republican in the GE since 1952,

except for 1996 when they went for Bill Clinton. Maybe Biden is the charm this time.

8. We Can Easily Win Minus Arizona

My guess is that in the end we likely will lose Arizona anyway. I think we should win with any of our top tier candidates, and as that infantile idiot gets loonier he keeps losing fringe supporters.

He is losing his mind. The driving force for us is not so much pro anyone as it is anti Trump....which should gain more traction as he gets nuttier.

We have a guy in there now who on top of his evil is obviously in mental decline......and we should nominate a guy who will be 77 soon after taking over? And about 81 by the end of his first term?

Elizabeth Warren would be approximately Joe’s age now by the end of her 2nd term.

It is sad but it is what it is.

9. Biden turns 78 next November eom

10. How old will Warren be?

12. So...he picks a good VP...big deal...and Warren is 70...so I really wouldn't try to make age a

factor...I think it is highly unlikely that Warren will be the candidate given her lack of support in AA circles.

11. There is a vital senate race...that could decide who controls the Senate so no we can't live without

Arizona. You candidate is not particularly competitive there but maybe we need to choose a different candidate and not give up the state.

[Demsrule86]

13. Thanks for posting...Joe is the best candidate to win perhaps in a landslide with coattails

for the Senate and House races.

[Tarheel_Dem]

14. That says it all.

15. Joe Biden is a 400 EV candidate...the rest, not so much

That's the difference between Biden and the rest of the Dem field. Sure, Bernie, Elizabeth, and Kamala could beat Trump if the stars align right on a good day and win with 270 EV's (278 max). But Biden is a 400 EV type of candidate and will smash the Trump presidency into little pieces and put it out of cheating distance. That's the difference I see.

16. Kick for Biden!..

Sanders minus 10!
