1. Impressive that Bill Clinton won AZ without Maricopa

I’m gonna need to look at the numbers in 96

3. THIS

is the first question that popped into my mind too. I can't imagine a scenario where a Dem presidential candidate wins AZ without Maricopa County. That would leave Pima County to do some mighty heavy lifting. Because I damn sure know my county (Gila) didn't go for Clinton.

5. Just looked t up

A lot of red counties went blue, probably because of Perot. Clinton didn’t win The really red counties, but he won most everywhere else. And Dole barely won Maricopa.

7. That's fascinating.

Wow, I might have to eat my words about Gila County.

Thanks for looking that up. What a remarkable thing.

(Also, I forgot about Ross Perot)

10. I had too - or at least him having that much impact in 96

Clinton won 46-44, Perot pulled almost 10%!

2. Sheriff Arpaio & the ghost of John McCain

You poked the bear, you got mauled.

Fate? Karma? Call it whatever you like, you earned it, wingnuts.

11. Yep, sheriff joe and the "let me see your papers" law helped organize pissed of Latinos.

That and Joe Biden finished the repigs.

6. Trump brought disease to them. Trump kills people.

And, he hates the military. I’m glad Arizonans rejected Trump.

8. Well...

Trump is the first Republican to lose Maricopa County in 72 years...Just sayin'

9. Take that...you
