He keeps narrowing his own path. First, he went dark in Michigan then Pennsylvania now Arizona?? He's not giving himself any margin for error

By pulling out of AZ (on top of MI and PA), he's lost the election.

Is he saving this money for his legal defense fund when he's indicted in January?

Once again it seems like he is saving the money instead of wasting it on a losing cause.

Mr. Trump needs to save his money for incoming legal bills in 2021, lol. Seriously though, a lack of cash doesn't explain their exit of MI and now AZ. Are they saving their ressources for October? If they concede both AZ and MI, the Trump path to 270 gets pretty narrow, especially since polling in WI isn't looking bright for many weeks. Getting out of AZ definitely seems to be a bad strategy to me. There is still a chance he keeps AZ in November, even if Maricopa flips to Biden by a small margin.

He's making it seems like he's triaging those states, trying to make the democrats overconfident again, baiting them to go on deeper R-territory, while they neglect the real swing states;

Not a good idea when they're down in literally every poll.

Especially when polling shows you down in supposedly "deep R territory" (remember AZ underestimated Clinton in 2016, so you can't use the argument Trump is bound to outperform polls; no polling error is consistent.

Michigan I can understand.
But PA and AZ make absolutely no sense. It's almost like the trump campaign is throwing in the towel.

If I was Trump, I'd still go for MI. He has enough cash to compete in the state and would actually force Biden to focus / invest even more here, while Trump could still afford to lose the state and win >270 EVs regardless.

I can’t even imagine being this insane and delusional.

The lengths you people will go to in order to blind yourselves from the obvious are fascinating and disturbing.

At this point by ceding AZ, MI, and maybe even PA, Trump is basically betting on MN, which isn't exactly a very smart strategy...
