Arizona and Georgia

[pppolitics]

Despite losing, Hillary actually did better in Arizona and Georgia.

Donald Trump narrowly won Arizona with a margin of 3.5%, a greatly reduced margin from Mitt Romney's 9.03% margin in 2012

Donald Trump won the election in Georgia by 5.1%, a lower margin compared to Mitt Romney's 7.82% in 2012

Should these be states that Democrats focus on in 2020?

Because Georgia is trending faster than North Carolina, I feel the Democrats need to focus more on Georgia than North Carolina. 

North Carolina just threw out its incumbent Republican governor and vote in a Democrat even while Hillary lost the state.

When was the last time a Democrat won a statewide election in Georgia again?

And not directed to TNVol specifically, but using the argument "When was the last time [party] won a statewide office in [state] is a very stupid argument with regards to presidential elections. West Virginia elected a Democrat statewide last month and no one is saying it will be competitive in 2020. Governor races are not presidential races.  Next several gubernatorial elections I could see Democrats winning Oklahoma, Missouri, Indiana, Kansas, etc...

The inverse is not true though.

When is the last time that the president is able to win a state that his own local state party cannot win?

Okay, maybe Florida, but that's about it.
