This is great news for team Hillary. Arizona GOP operative Matthew Benson, who is a former senior aide to Gov. Jan Brewer, has some news for Donald Trump.
He’s going to lose Arizona!
According to Benson, Trump has no real campaign or field operation in Arizona and is not spending enough money there. Benson is not seeing the type activity necessary to save the state.

"I think he's going to lose Arizona," said Matthew Benson, a Republican state operative and former senior aide to Gov. Jan Brewer. "Barring something unforeseen, Trump is going to lose Arizona, and you're still not seeing the type of activity you'd expect to see if he expects to save it."
The campaign has placed few resources in the state. There are five staffers aiding Trump's bid, paid for by a combination of the campaign, the RNC and the Arizona Republican Party.
Last month, both an Arizona Republic/Arizona State University poll and an NBC News/WSJ/Marist poll showed Trump and Clinton with a one percentage point margin of each other in the state.
While the Trump campaign commits very little resources for the final week of the campaign in Arizona and it's organization is almost nonexistent there, the Clinton campaign is holding an early vote rally in Tempe the same day of the final Presidential debate. Bernie will be in Flagstaff and Tucson the day before.
The campaign has not put up any broadcast TV or radio spots in Arizona, and it has committed just $15,000 for mailers for the remainder of this month and $7,000 for the final week of the campaign.
Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign announced Sunday that Chelsea Clinton would campaign in Tempe on Wednesday, the same day as the third and final presidential debate, at an early vote rally at Arizona State University.
Bernie Sanders will also be holding early vote rallies in Flagstaff and Tucson!
