          On Arizona, Trump camp argued that their stats better than anyone sitting in DC or New York (a quote to that effect). Say they have their own data plus insights from Republican governor there. “We trust our data, we trust our math.”

          Important note re the above - I am not making any judgement on the accuracy of these takes. Dems will dispute many of their presumptions. Just sharing what Trump camp is spinning right now.

          One more telling thing. Trump campaign advisers talked about winning Arizona + Pennsylvania much, much more than winning Wisconsin + Michigan. Which means a hell of a lot is riding on Arizona.
