Those people are winnable.
A better Republican party would compete for them.

In any case, I think the people of Arizona overall have soured on the Joe Arpaio brand, and Trump tied himself to that brand very strongly.

Shift the blame. Nothing is ever Trump's fault. It's always another factor involved. Unbelievable!

To a certain extent they may be winnable. Hopefully Washington state and Oregon serve as tales of caution.

Regardless, Trump is a polarizing figure which caused many people to vote against his persona. They didn't vote for anything, just against him. Were Trump more tactful, Arizona would have probably stayed red. However, like Texas, I see Arizona becoming more of a battle ground state in the next election because fleeing Californians are stupid.
