John McCain is probably in a tie with his opponent because he's been sitting in that chair since 1987 and what has he done? What has he done in recent years to make his voters happy?

In a year where incumbents are getting trashed for sitting on their duff and doing nothing to help the current situation, incumbents are going to have close races. Same thing happened to Lamar Alexander in 2014 when he had a Primary challenger (Steve Carr) that got within 9 points of defeating him.

People are fed up with the old hats sitting in Congress for life and not doing a damn thing but making matters worse.

People are fed up with McCain because the only thing he ever does is blow the war horn, wanting to arm anyone and everyone, terrorist included, that will keep the global war mongoring alive.

With the issues we have here in the homefront, he's invisible..

The people of AZ may be getting tired of his BS. McCain is running for his 6th term in the Senate at 80 years old. An 80 year old mind is not what it use to be.

I do not think for a minute that McCain is in a tight race per the polls because Trump is leading in the GOP primaries. McCain has made his opposition to Trump very clear.

IIRC, he had some tough opposition in the primary in his last election, per the polls but he pulled away in the end. McCain is leading by 1% but the number to watch is the 16% undecided. That is a large number of undecided, especially when a 5 term senator
running for re-election.

I have to disagree. Trump is having the same affect on the open seats in Nevada and Florida as he is on McCain's seat and also 5 other seats.

In addition to what you said, Trump will fuel the sort of turnout among Hispanics that generally translates to more votes for the Dems down-ballot.

There is nothing less Nancy Pelosi would like more than to be Speaker of the House during the term of the 1st female President.

That's as much the McConnell do nothing for Obama paradigm as it is an individual Senator issue.

Yet McConnell should have easily been defeated in the last election. Lundergan-Grimes was a popular figure and her stances are not as crazy as other candidates with a (D) behind their name. But I have this feeling if that race was run this year, he'd have a significant fight on his hands as it seems like voters across the board are saying "out with the old, in with something different" regardless of party affiliation. Which is why you see a wave of support for Trump, Bernie and fights across the nation in Senatorial Primaries. In Florida alone, the race for Rubio's seat is shaping up to be a knock down, drag out affair.

Next up are Wisconsin, then New York, states where Trump leads in all polls.

New York 95 delegates
Wisconsin 42 delegates

Net Result: Trump further increases his delegates lead over Lying Ted.

Arizona's delegates are proportional so Trump won't get all 58 delegates. At the most he will get 25.

You realize you are arguing with someone who can't be argued with? He'll just ignore what questions you ask and continue posting Trump tweets and soundbites as a continued trolling measure.

I guess I expect to much out of people who support Trumpism.

Out of the remaining states, the following states are winner-take-all, meaning the winner gets all delegates on the line: Arizona, Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, New Jersey and Delaware.
