This was the year Arizona was poised to become the new Nevada — a nearby state for California Democrats looking for a place to flip from red to blue.
Caravans from California — in particular from the Bay Area — had already started. Arizona Democrats were looking forward to the extra canvassers to help capture a battleground state that President Trump narrowly won in 2016, where first-term GOP Sen. Martha McSally looks vulnerable and where Republicans have a narrow hold on the state legislature.
But the coronavirus pandemic dashed those plans, sidelining an army of supporters who could provide Arizona Democrats with one of the most powerful ways to convince voters to support them: face-to-face campaigning.
Swing Left, an organization dedicated to flipping GOP areas to Democratic ones, led six trips from California to Arizona starting last fall. The pandemic forced the cancellation of eight more planned for the spring. Organizers said momentum was building just before everyone had to shelter in place, as more than 200 people from across California made two weekend trips to the desert in February.

And the GOP-e response....helping the Democrats win AZ.
McCain wasn’t the only one
Thank the Virus for something positive. One disease preventing another....
Pretty sure margabby kellygiffords will be the new senator from AZ come Nov. A disgrace to the USN and the ass-tro-naught corps.
Making excuses for defeat already.
Yes we must not be victims but utilize the crazy and negative effects of the covid panic to our benefit.
I’d end the hysteria in a minute if I could but since I can’t I take advantage where I can while fighting for a return to normalcy.
Ping. Any comments on this?
More Dim roach infestations.
We need more 30 foot tall walls.
Sooner or later both AZ and my beloved TX will succumb to the radical left because our RNC is spineless weasels who don’t know how to fight fire with fire!! Our party eats one another just look what is coming out about Paul Ryan and now there is a secret group of backstabbing RINOS organizing behind closed doors organizing to defeat the President! And I’m more than sure our chairwoman knows all about it and isn’t lifting up one finger to rebuke those bastards! We need a spit fire chairperson at the helm at the RNC to raise hell!! Ugh!
Meanwhile the GOP just sits around doing nothing.
Exactly. There is no reason we shouldn’t have people going door to door flipping black and Hispanic neighborhoods in California red.
Come on! Just schedule a Newsom recall vote for election day in Nov. Let the chips fall where they may.
I agree. We need to go on offense, and bring our case to the people the Dems have taken for granted, and taken for a ride. There’s a lot of people out there who can be convinced, one at a time. Positive attitude, good facts, solid philosophy; the days of being able to rely on the Party Establishment are over, if they ever existed. The question, the ONLY question that matters, is “What can I do today to advance the cause I believe in? How can I invite an individual person to see what I can see so clearly?” Alright, two questions. Cardinal Biggels, read the charges!
Honestly, it will take a step up in game to compete with this win at all cost strategy of the left....
Well then, get up of your (blank) and do something !
“There is no reason we shouldn’t have people going door to door flipping black and Hispanic neighborhoods in California red.”
Good idea, but we must be aware that lives will be lost.
The left wants to paint America blue and the GOP gives them the paint. There is a chance 2020 will be a blue bloodbath. They are at war and we are.......I don’t know what we are actually doing to stop their activism,ballot harvesting,mail voting and organizing.
See if any of them get tax-exempt money, esp. from Soros fronts, Steyer ops, foundations, or Bloomturd.
FU!!! post something I can see you dumb s^^T!!!
