I wonder if the reason he lost AZ was because he didn't see eye-to-eye with McCain and their resulting feud was highly publicized. Maybe that and the growing Mex-American population

He also didn't campaign there much either. I am not sure McCain has that much influence on the overall vote there.

I think it's still play, but the fact he could lose AZ is bizarre.

Side note, it's a shame he busted his [BLEEP] in Florida and made a major flip in the Hispanic vote and that didnt seem to really translate anywhere else.

I think you are underestimating how well liked McCain was in his home state. There was an older couple in my church that moved to an Arizona retirement community like a decade ago. They still keep in touch with my family. They were lifelong Republicans and they were ticked off about the comments Trump made about McCain, especially with Trump being a draft dodger and all. They said their friends and neighbors didn't take the comments well either. The way they talked, most of them were veterans themselves. That still doesn't sit well with some people and the fact that Trump continued downgrading the guy after his death made it even worse. Old people forget a lot of things, but they hold grudges as well as anyone I know. Also, take into account that Biden and McCain were best friends. If Trump indeed lost Arizona and that is the state that costs him the election, it should be referred to as "McCain's revenge".
