Just my two cents here, but with all the conjecture about this poll and that poll, would Hillary and her brilliant team spend time in Arizona if Donny was a threat to reaching the magic 270? I think she is in OK territory and either trying to expand the map or attempting to keep Donald in a defensive position with his base.

are going for the Latino vote. Something interesting mentioned by R.Maddow tonight.
Hillary camp announced the Tempe AZ visit last Friday--a half hour before Comey released his unprecedented documents dump!! Prior to this the polls in AZ were encouraging--and now this week--the AZ ---a red state dropped in the polls for Hillary.

And I hope that these efforts are not only successful for Clinton-Kaine, but will also remove McCain from the Senate once and for all!
