Larry, who can convince Arpaio to drop out?
He would be 92 if he lives to finish the Senate term he is running for.
This is insanity.
Otherwise, McSally, who is McCain in a skirt, will win and AZ will not gain a pro-Trump Senator that it could easily do right now.
Consider also that this was a special election and democrats were able to concentrate all their efforts on this one election. Come November there will be many democratic candidates and democrats will have to spread out their efforts and their ground game. They will not be able to apply the same concentrated effort as in this special election.
Republicans are notoriously lazy in special election turnout, and we are lucky that Trump was able to carry Balderson across the finish line. I do think he wins handily in November, but we can’t be this complacent.
On a good note, turnout in MO was good in the R primary for Senate. I voted for Pedersen in the primary because he actually advocates for the 2A better than Josh Hawley. That said, Hawley is something of a hero for representing hobby lobby and winning in SCOTUS against the ACA. I think his chances of beating McCaskill are good.
Mc Sally is a retired Air Force Colonel and a real Patriot. I expect Trump to endorse her before the primary.
It was close in OH because many didn’t even know about the election plus they are going to vote again for the same seat again in 2 months...Plus August is prime vacation time as well.
I understand the RNC spent millions on the race. Which also means the story about how lots of people didn’t know there was an election is dubious.
Somebody who can pay off his legal debts.

No. Panhandle in different time zone.
But it was all over when Miami-date reported ...
Why is very high Dem enthusiasm not a possibility?
“Ya never knocked me down, Ray.” — Jake LaMotta, to Sugar Ray Robinson, who had just beat the living tar out of him, in “Raging Bull”
There are over 577,000 registered voters in Ohio’s 12th District, so having less than half turn out showed a lethargic group of GOP voters who didn’t care enough to vote. Did they really believe that the Democrat wouldn’t vote with Pelosi? Ever see Lucy and Charlie Brown play football?
The RATs have reached 'Max Turnout'; GOP will have larger turnout in November ...
I’m reminded of the old joke about Pravda covering a race between the USSR’s fastest car and the USA’s fastest car. The results of the race were that the American car won, and the Soviet car came in second, but Pravda reports it as the Soviet car finishes second and the American car finishes next to last.
Lol. Like the RNC?
Excellent point !!!
The Dems didn't have 90% turnout. They had 90% of their 2016 total. Not the same thing.
Yep.
That’s a good one! Have to remember that.
Ronald Reagan: “Socialism only works in two places: Heaven, where it doesn’t have to, and Hell, where they already have it.”
Right.
I keep repeating, there is such a thing as election fatigue. “Normal” people with jobs, churches, families, vacations, etc, just don’t want to “do politics” 24/7.
Awesome! Fake news was out.
