Trump’s picks won 100% of their races last night.

Ditto Oklahoma. The two Republicans included the mayor of Oklahoma City, a city which has been overrun by dirtbag liberals and fags, mostly from kalifornia. The mayor bashed Trump during the last presidential election and also advocated OKC becoming a sanctuary sewer.

Those became major campaign issues and his opponent, an outspoken Trump supporter, won handily.

I will. She was a chick who simply arrived with the right plumbing at a fortuitous moment that the military swung the doors open for chicks.
She has had one less than 2 year marriage in her life, no kids.

She is against the wall, and she’ll be another McCain with the addition of being on board for every female cause.

And the poster was right. Arizona is blinded into stupidity if the candidate can show a military tie.

We are doomed over half the electorate are deplorables too stupid to take sage and well-reasoned advice and vote for more progressive candidates.

Then was your recommendation that she say good things about McCain? He was a total POS. And you know she wouldn’t get the luxury of saying nothing.

At some point, the Arizona electorate owns the idiots they vote in. Flake, McSally, McCain, etc.

(correction, 90 out of 92 for McSally on Trump bills... still 60 of 76 for Collins.)

She SAYS she is for the wall. Her votes agree.

McSally = McCain

See, that's just pathetic PR, propaganda, repeating a lie often enough... all because you have nothing substantive to offer. McSally voted the Trump Agenda 90 times out of 92 in the House in the last 20 months, putting her in the top 9% of the House on supporting Trump. (McCain was in the bottom 5 among GOP Senators.)

The two bills where she differed were:

Imposing sanctions on Russia, Iran and North Korea (419-3... Trump OPPOSED 419-3, she voted "Yea"), and
Limiting health care lawsuits related to coverage provided through a federal program (218-210... Trump for, she voted "nay")

EVERY other Trump vote, she was on board... for TWO YEARS.

And you want to trash her completely for making one statement? Or do you have even ONE substantive point to add? Just try. Just one.

No, I’m sorry, I DON’T trust your miserable opinions pieces. I track what people DO, not what they SAY. McSally has been almost perfect on Trump, and many here want to tear her to pieces. Similarly, Sinema (D-AZ-9) has been among the most pro-Trump-Agenda in the House among the Dems.. and if you’re not a drooling moron, you’d know that this is a GOOD thing, and something we should be crowing about.... even the Dems are begrudgingly having to admit that the Trump Agenda IS the right way to go, with their vote and their represtantives’ votes... and unfettered idiots around here just want to stand on their sanctimonious soapboxes and ignore the volume of really good ammunition that we are being handed at th moment. Wake up.

I looked up McSally’s record and she has been a strong supporter of Trump. And Trump has endorsed her! It’s ridiculous to trash her. Just look at the alternative.

I am not going on what Sinema says. I have watched her ever since she entered the House. Her District was gerrymandered so she could win. That is a fact. Her votes have been moderated in the last year and yes, she has voted the right way. But I do not believe she will vote Trump in the Senate. McSally will be a reliable vote for the Trump agenda. We had better all get behind her or there will be a Dem senator from AZ in the next Congress.

"So this was strategically a terrible move, especially in the closing weeks."

Ah... LS. Politics is kind of like the Financial Planning biz, people will do business with you because they like you and trust you. You don't endear that via banging on the guy that had the job before you, especially after you left them or fired them (In this case a Veteran with a terminal illness, regardless of what a candidate might think of feel of him). Give them a reason to hire you as a planner, or too vote for you.

I didn't realize she wasn't marking herself in a positive fashion. Liked her a lot, it's sad she didn't take your advice.

That would suck, but it might still be better than McCain or Flake. At least she won't be high-profile. I'm fighting hard for McSally right here on FR, LOL.

The Senate is looking like +3 right now, and +8 is still on the board. NJ just became very possible, the first new GOP Senator elected from NJ since 1959. If Trump gets Tweeting in the right states (that he won by 19% or more... IN, MT, ND, TN, WV, MO), that's a +5 right there... we could lose AZ and NV, maybe... but we still have good shots to flip more in MN2, WI, FL, and now NJ.

+11 is mathematically possible... and miracles could even add OH, PA, or MI (all of which Trump won, but Dems are running Established characters, Sherrod Brown, Bob Casey, Debbie Stabenow.)

“Trump only won AZ by 5.”

I believe that Trump only won by 3.5% in Arizona in 2016...

Maybe so, but the GOP "won" yesterday by 12 points... 56-44%... there were 450,000 GOP votes to 350,000 Dem votes in the Primaries... and the election is less than ten weeks away.

You're right. But it's difficult to resist because even in death (his 'post death' speech to America) he stoops to such lows. He died full of bitterness.

Would have loved to have seen Ward in AZ, but this is still good.

Nope. Pay attention.

My recommendation was that she not mention his name at all.
