Arizona Republicans to Trump: Stay away!

It might come as a yuuuuge surprise to you, but one red state’s very conservative Republican grand high poobahs have had enough of Trump’s incessant rallies:

[I]t doesn’t make a lot of sense for Trump to keep making campaign appearances in Arizona — but that’s exactly what he did again this week during a Tuesday evening rally that marked his sixth visit to the state of the campaign cycle.

Republicans in the state tell NBC News that they’re getting fed up with Trump stepping onto their turf — and not just because they think his time could be better spent elsewhere.

One GOP Arizona operative says that he’s tired of his candidates being asked to answer for every word that comes out of Trump’s mouth.

“Every time he’s come, it kind of sucks up all the energy from everything else going on,” the Republican said. “If you’re not attending [you’re asked], ‘Why not? Are you distancing yourself?’ If you are, it’s ‘Are you getting too close to him?’ It’s just kind of annoying from that perspective.”

    Out of all of the GOP politicians in Arizona, there’s one who won’t be subjected to these questions, and it’s Jeff Flake who has had the courage to stand up to Trump since the beginning. The rest have allowed themselves to be taken hostage by Trump and are those being asked whether they’ll show up at his events, and by the way, I haven’t seen John McCain at any of Trump’s six rallies, and I know how much McCain likes attention. LOL.

    He states hes tired ofchis candidates being asked to answer forcevery word that comes out of his mouth.Ha ha.The repukes have so backed themselves into a corner by letting this pig represent them.If they try to justify his words they peg themselves as racists and bigots and lose some of their more moderate ones,if they talk against him then they go down as not being loyal to their loser party.Fun to watch them eat themselves.They deserve the chaos.
