A fresh face is needed. She would be seen as an “also ran” at this point. If she wants to run again, she should run for her old House seat.

It wasn’t just her race - the GOP on the whole was caught flat-footed by the late avalanche of ads saying “Republicans want to take away your healthcare.” The fact we would not be prepared for that old predictable playbook is absurd...and we should be gone on offense against it - it was the Democrats who in fact took away healthcare - made high risk pools illegal, took away doctors, health plans, caused sky high deductibles causing people to pay for all of their pre-existing conditions out of pocket, etc. We had a very winnable argument that was not prepared for.

I suspect, however, if Kyl were to resign at the end of the year, McSally will be appointed to fill the seat. McSally would have been indeed an improvement over Jeff Flake, but a step down from Jon Kyl.

Glad she lost.

So you are glad that Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and now Mitt Romney will have greater power and influence in the Senate than they otherwise would have had? You are glad that there will now instead be someone in the Senate with real power who supported, among other outrageous things, people joining terrorists to fight against our own troops on the battlefield?

Hope she gets a real job.

You don't consider military service to be a real job? That was her career. She will have served in the House a total of 4 years. She never previously held political office prior to January 2015. That is the entire extent of her political career.

Wasn't McSally a Never-Trumper at one point?

I also read somewhere that she got over-confident when she had a substantial lead over Sinema and rested on her laurels instead of fighting to the finish.

Exactly. She ran a poor campaign. She should not be rewarded.

I wanted her to beat that commie, but if the Governor can pick anyone, then please pick a real R. Please!

Anyone with a modicum of conservatism will do. Even Barry Goldwater Jr.

Why? She lost the primary. Jon Kyl or whoever will vote the same as Ward, so put a good politician in that seat.

We will take whoever can win in 2020 and hopefully the Illegal Aliens voting should be kicked out of the country. I ain't lying either.

Partner, I'll take JD Hayworth or Andy Biggs instead of Kelli Ward. We need to do stop the Illegal Aliens voting and anybody who is an Illegal Alien and has voted will be kicked out of the country and they should never ever come back to the U.S.A.

Not Matt Salmon. Salmon is Flake and he couldn’t beat Janet Napolitano statewide.

I suspect that the phrase “the meth lab of democracy” will be around for a long time.

This was one of Vespa’s best analytical writing pieces. He described the problem, the circumstances against McSally winning, including running too defensive of a campaign, and the betrayal by the McCain/Flake turncoats.

I hope McSally, Sen. Kyle, and the governor make the right decision and put her back in Congress. It will give her another year or two to put together a major campaign organization, get “real” money funding, and take on whoever the Left is going to throw at her.

THIS TYPE OF ARTICLE IS EXACTLY WHAT REPUBLICANS/CONSERVATIVES NEED TO DO FOR EVERY CONGRESSIONAL RACE THEY LOST, THOSE THAT CAME TOO DAMNED CLOSE FOR COMFORT, AND WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO ORGANIZE AND WIN IN THE FUTURE.

The Democrats, the so-called “party of the people” outspent Republicans where it counted, but it also exposed them as nothing but Rich, Liberal/Marxist “One-Percenters”, a theme that should be hammered on for every election from today.

Every Dem who self-identifies, or is identified as a “progressive” should be hit with two slogans. The first is by Mark Levin, namely “Progressivism is the bastard child of Marxism (with a capital “M”), and

David Horowitz’s “Inside of every liberal is an authoritarian screaming to get out”.

The imagery for portraying what these slogans say in POWERFUL if drawn/designed in the right manner.

Tie to regroup, rearm, refund, reorganize and take the offensive, as soon as possible.

Know your enemy. Identify their slogans, plans, leadership, organization, funding, etc. and if there is something there that is useful to us, COPY IT EVEN BETTER.

It is time for the Koch Brothers, Adelson, and other wealthy conservatives/liberaterians to realize that THEIR TIME IS LIMITED TOO.

Just wait to see what Dems have in-store for them. It will make the Inquisition and the Gulags look like Kindergarten recess.

[We had a very winnable argument that was not prepared for.]

The Dems nationalized the campaign and the GOP did not.

The useless RINO establishment laid down on this one.
