McConnell is lobbying Arizona's governor to name McSally as Kyl replacement
CNN ^ | November 19, 2018 | Devan Cole and John King

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is leveraging his political power to try to convince Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to choose Rep. Martha McSally to replace Republican Sen. Jon Kyl, who is considering leaving his seat before his term ends, several Republican sources familiar with the conversations tell CNN.

McSally, a Republican congresswoman who once worked for Kyl, lost her Senate bid two weeks ago to Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema. Kyl, who was picked by the governor in September to fill the seat vacated by the late Sen. John McCain. told CNN last week he has decided whether to leave office before his term ends at the end of next year. He wouldn't reveal his decision, but said he will talk to Ducey about it.

Rewarding failure. McSally lost to a frekin' Leftist Moonbat. She underperformed Gov Ducey by 200 k votes.

Massive vote fraud in AZ caused McSally's defeat.

BTW, she conceded immediately because she knows the DHS is going to layeth the smacketh down on Dem vote fraud when they give Trump their report on 12/21.

Come on, Governor Ducey...show us what you’re made of. Please resist this pressure and do NOT name McSally as Kyl’s replacement. McSally doesn’t deserve it and would merely be the RINOs’ compliant puppy dog. When re-election time came around, the low-energy, piss-poor campaigner McSally would likely lose.

Nominate a STRONG self-reliant individual such as Kelli Ward.

That’s just great, that way we lose 2 seats to the Dems. She was a horrible candidate. Unless they plan on sending her to charm school, do a full make over, give her voice training she has no hope of being elected. What the hell is the matter with those idiots? The only way we would accept that is I’d the only other choice was Cindy McCain

She lost to massive Dem vote fraud in AZ. Did you see the vote swing to Sinema from Ducey's totals? It was almost exactly like 32,000 votes.

Right, name Kelly Ward who lost to McSally who lost to nutty Kristen Sinema.

Name someone who has a chance of being elected!

Meh, CNN stoking the RINO’s war on the Party.
Kyl’s likely there to the end of this session.

Very funny, my sides are splitting.

If you read Trump's EO back on 09/12, it punishes voter fraud. DHS took over election monitoring after Trump abandoned his voter commission.

DHS has until 12/21 (45 days after the midterms) to finalize a report for President Trump.

That is why Brenda Snipes immediately resigned, because the Feds are ALREADY investigating the fraud in FL, and why McSally immediately conceded, because Trump is about to lower the boom on vote fraud.

I don’t think there was any fraud in Arizona

McSally just sucked

It should have never been that close
