    Yeah, I am guessing you would vote for Hilter over Drumpf.

I think that's a pretty good litmus test. If Trump loses in AZ there is no possible road back to the White House for him.
      Yeah, Biden most likely has Arizona wrapped up... You and your friends don't need to worry about voting. Here is a better idea: Vote for Jo20 so Drumpf comes in 3rd in your state! That would be funny.

        well, most of that is based on polling, right? trump broke it--people are so embarrassed about their votes for him that they feel compelled to lie even for purposes of anonymous polling. trump will win everything he won in 2016, other than maybe florida and pa/oh.

          Nah. We're gonna flip the senate and pass some laws. The DREAM Act is going to be a reality after 20 years of pretending to help hardworking, fully American-in-every-way-except citizenship immigrants. It's gonna be great.

            There is something to be said about that phenomenon, I agree. But while Trump's numbers were skewed last time, his victory still fell within the margin of error in polling. While anchors were calling the election early the wrong way, which happens often, by the way, it wasn't 'fake polling' as he loves to claim. And I think people don't have the same level of embarrassment or shyness. All those people who expressed reticence but voted for him anyway have since jumped fully on the train. Some have jumped off. Florida is really having second thoughts about Trump, too. AZ was 91k votes in favor of Trump last time. That's going the other way. Wisconsin is going for Biden, and so is Michigan. He's done.

              I'm not voting for Trump, but if I intended to, I wouldn't tell anyone.

                  It's way to early to call the election. There are typically big swings in the polls after this time of the season. Dukakis seemed to have an insurmountable lead after the democratic convention. Gore, similar. Mitt seemed competitive for a while.

                        I agree. But historically, in races where the economy is down the incumbent is extremely vulnerable. It's ripe for the picking.

                          Martha McSally is just struggling in AZ- even among conservatives. It's not that people are afraid to admit they are voting for her- it's that she has the stink of Trump on her (she further debased herself by joining Trump at the border wall to sign it a few weeks ago. ) and Mark Kelly is a very moderate (D).

                            If Hitler was on the ticket I would admit I'm not that good. That would really make Trump look like hot shit in comparison, though. Why didn't Putin try harder to get Hitler on the Democratic ticket?? What a dummy.

                              I rocked my Biden mask into Walmart the other day to pick up a prescription. I felt like I was treated extra nice. How's that for anecdotal evidence?

                                I can see folks not liking that she is a Harvard grad (that school is over-rated) but what do they have against a war vet? That is just un-American.
