Trump effect: POTUS-backed candidates win BIG in primaries; McSally in AZ and DeSantis in FLA

Trump did not endorse McSally, but she pretended that he had done so, at least by proclaiming that she was on board with the Trump agenda. Her performance exceeded the totals of both of the other two contenders. Joe can’t be blamed on this outcome. McSally appears to be the candidate that Republican voters want, and she has a good chance of winning in November. That is as good as we are going to get in this state.

So, you are denigrating McSally’s stellar Military service?

[Signalman]

DeSanitis: 914K votes.

Gillum:. 518K votes.

[LS]

Consider this: McSally, Ward, Joe (with 49% of precincts in) have racked up a 108,000 lead over Enema and the other D. (56.1%-43%). That’s huge. That’s blowout. Trump only won AZ by 5.

At this point, McSally should walk into the seat, and I’m betting DemoKKKrats are seriously thinking about redirecting resources away from Enema and into now vulnerable NJ, MN, and WI.

Both FL and AZ crushed the “blue wave” garbage and in FL the nomination of a commie ensures a massive DeSantis win, which could really help Congressional Rs there.

“...DeSantis vs Moonbat Dem in Nov....”

Should be an easy win for Repubs. Even the WSJ today was pointing out what a raging stereotype DEM parasite his opponent is. Trump effect winning!!!

[LS]

Lots of folks don’t realize Ward ran a terrible campaign.

I became an unofficial advisor to her campaign back in Oct. 2017 (because of my flaming twitter feed, I asked my name not be used publicly to protect her). I made several recommendations at that time. She only took one of them-—to move to Maricopa County.

The biggest one absolutely killed her with many voters-—her constant references to McTurd. I hate McTurd as much as anyone, but in AZ you are foolish to run against McTurd or say bad things about him. For ex., Mike Broomhead, a conservative talk show host who has the biggest morning show in PHX, LOVES McTurd. So this was strategically a terrible move, especially in the closing weeks.

Once in a while, you know, we ought to blame the candidates. Roy Moore (whom I stupidly supported) was an idiot. He left at home 685,000 R voters in Alabama! How the heck do you do that?

[Sertorius]

I don’t think he is, he is just saying you have to look beyond that one aspect, and Arizona doesn’t. Louisiana went through that with their current governor (West Point grad, good military career), and many people are sorry they didn’t look past Vitter’s moral failures. He voted our way in the Senate and wasn’t distracted or bullied by the press into changing his views. Most likable candidate, no. But was a solid vote where it counted. Edwards, the West Point grad, not so good, although he seems likable enough.

[Logical me]

I can’t believe that Sessions is sitting on his hands with no plan to prosecute these people.

Sessions is part of the swamp. Must be fired if he doesn't start working with Trump.

[Zathras]

This would do a great deal to heal the GOP here in AZ.
I’m not sure its going to happen.

Attorney General Jeff "McClellan" Sessions.

HISTORY
McClellan, Commander of the Union Armey, fired by Lincoln because he would not fight, just 'train' and 'train' and 'train', two years training troops. When he did engage the enemy, he was tricked and would delay action.

General George McClellan

General McClellan failed to maintain the trust of President Abraham Lincoln. He did not trust his commander-in-chief and was privately derisive of him. He was removed from command in November after failing to decisively pursue Lee's Army following the tactically inconclusive but strategic Union victory at the Battle of Antietam outside Sharpsburg, Maryland, and never received another field command. McClellan went on to become the unsuccessful Democratic Party nominee in the 1864 presidential election against Lincoln's reelection.

McClellan was relieved of command (fired) and eventually replaced by U.S. Grant. When perfumed princes and social roosters complained to Lincoln about Grant's 'cussin' and 'excessive whiskey drinking ', Lincoln responded:

I can't spare this man! He fights!

POTUS needs a Grant.

[Wuli]

McSally was the wrong choice in Arizona and I think Trump will learn that in time.

[Oldexpat]

No but she will be an amnesty vote.

More good news...

FL and AZ both had about 100,000 more GOP than Dem votes in their Primaries....
450k to 350k in AZ (56-44%), and
1.6m to 1.5m in FL (52-48%)

The Dem Senate winner in AZ (Sinema) was the 4th-highest Trump Score Dem in the House.

The NJ Senate seat was polling +16% for incumbent Menendez (D-NJ) a month ago... was polling at +2% last week... and now sitting Dems in the state are openly saying that they will not support him anymore (corruption investigation). NJ hasn't elected a new GOP name to the Senate since 1959. (They had one appointed for 8 months in 1982.)

[originalbuckeye]

Trust me, if Sinema gets into the Senate, she will go hard Left. She originally won her House seat in a District that was gerrymandered for her to win. She then moderated her votes as her House seat was just a steppingstone to the Senate This is her whole ball of wax. She has been running ads for her Senate run since April......big Soros money behind her. (And don’t ask about the ‘independent’ on the Redistricting Commission, who met in secret with the other two Dems, they drew up a new AZ map, voted on it and it was implemented without any input from the 2 Republicans on the Commission. Gov Brewer sued to stop the implementation and a Leftist judge threw out the lawsuit. That first election, AZ had 5 Dems House members and 4 Republican House members). And please be aware that Sinema, when she won her House seat, said she is the first ‘proudly Bisexual’ member of the USHouse. This is not even a remotely Conservative woman. Just a woman biding her time until she can get real power with a Senate seat. The Dems are nothing, if they aren’t good incrementalists.

Which was the “crazy” one in Arizona?

Depends on your definition of "crazy" Ward was the one who the press said was crazy. McSally is the one who pulled her endorsement from President Trump in 2016. I may not vote in November.

The good news is, my favorite candidate for state rep. won! Frank Schmuck will be running for state representative from district 18. Wish I lived there. I'd vote for him just for having the guts to run under his own name.

[Jed Eckert]

Gillum is the "If Obama had a son" candidate. Endorsed by Bernie Sanders, financed by George Soros he will soon find out that in the age of Trump these are liabilities. Gillum can easily sell his progressive ideas in a university town like Tallahassee but nowhere else.

Gwen Graham might have been the most formidable opponent against DeSantis had she won.

Come November, DeSantis should win this in a landslide. However, I never underestimate Florida Republicans' talent for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[Pride in the USA]

Followed by a huge red wave in the midterms . . . I hope!

[rarestia]

DeSantis is the real McCoy. He’s plain spoken and very proud of our country. He will make a spectacular governor as long as he sticks to his values unlike Uncle Rick who recently kowtowed to the anti gunners.

[apocalypto]

Just think of the Supreme Court. Sometimes we need to vote for those we dislike because the alternative is far worse.

[Teacher317]

McSally is twice the betrayer Flake is. She wasn’t endorsed by Trump. She ran ads pretending she was. Think Susan Collins only more liberal.

Every one of you McSally haters keeps spewing opinion pieces, without offering one substantive point against her. Here's the biggest one for her... for the last 2 years, she has voted for the Trump Agenda 97.8% of the time in the House. Collins is at 78.9% (according to https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/ ).

In case you are math-challenged, that 18.9% higher... McSally HAS voted for Trump Agenda bills 103 times out of 105... Collins is 60 out of 76 since Trump was elected.

Care to be substantive at all in your opposition? Or is subjective opinion all you have to offer?
