Beau says:
Analyzing Arizona's Republican primary for clues on the GOP's stance on Trump might be misleading, as the state's unique support for him doesn't necessarily mirror the national sentiment.

Well howdy there internet people. It's Beau again. So today we are going to talk about how to
interpret the results from Arizona, the Republican primary out there.
A lot of the media is kind of fixated on what's happening here and it seems as though
that they want to extrapolate from the results and they're using it as a barometer of whether
or not the Republican Party is ready to break from Trump and if his candidates win, well that
means they're still with him. If his candidates don't win, well that means they're ready to go
the other way. Hmm, nay nay I say. I don't think that's a good read at all. That doesn't seem like
a way to get an accurate picture on what's going on with the Republican Party as a whole nationally.
Arizona is a place where Trump enjoys a lot of support. It's a place where his kind of grievances
resonate. It's a place where his kind of theories and claims, they take a hold on people.
This is where that goofy audit was. I don't think that this is the right place to use as a gauge.
I think the only way you can really get any useful information from this, from the results of this,
is if Trump is crushed. If his candidates are crushed, then yeah, that's a clear sign that the
Republican Party as a whole is ready to move away. But if his candidates win or they lose, but they
just lose by a little bit, I don't think that's going to tell us anything about the mindset of
the Republican Party as a whole. When you're looking at the polling, remember that in a lot
of places where Trump's candidates did well, there's polling suggesting that at that time,
people didn't want Trump to run again. I don't know that the connection between Trump himself
and the candidates is as strong as the media seems to believe it is.
It seems as though Trumpism is more popular than Trump at this point. And we'll be able to see
a little bit of that in Arizona, but that's an outlier to the truth.
A little bit of that in Arizona, but that's an outlier state. That's a state where his brand
of politics resonates. So I don't know that you can really extrapolate from that and gauge anything
else. I think what's going to matter more is the way conservative media is turning on Trump.
The way other potential nominees for 2024 are gaining in prominence and in the polls.
I think that's far more important. I don't see Arizona as a good gauge for the rest of the
country. So we're gonna have to wait and see. Again, unless Trump's candidates are just crushed,
I don't really think there's anything to take away from it.
Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
