AZ-Remington Research poll: Flake in trouble

[Figueira]

Great! We still need to protect our incumbents and win one of the safe states, but winning Nevada and Arizona would be a big help.

Excellent, but Ron-John was supposed to be effed too.

I don't think anyone is saying that Flake is guaranteed to lose.

It's early, but Democrats need to keep an eye on this race and try to get a decent candidate. Flake isn't entrenched like McCain, and would clearly have issues in a primary. If someone like Ward were to win the primary, Democrats would have a real shot at this race.

Even if Flake does win the primary, Democrats still have a decent chance of beating him if there's a big enough wave, although I'd say he's somewhat favored in that case.

You are not going to have a Dem wave in 2018. You smoking opium again?

Midterms are almost always bad for the party that controls the presidency. It obviously won't be a "wave" in terms of number of Senate seats gained, but that doesn't matter because this thread is purely about Arizona.

Him being skeptical of Trump has caused some issues, I see.

My guess is that he thought it would help him in the GE, but he didn't think hard enough about the primary.
