I don't know if there was electoral fraud in the Broward or Palm Beach County sense, i.e. actually manufacturing thousands of votes, but there was something fishy going on in Arizona.

That said, McSally was an extraordinarily poor candidate, as her primary performance illustrated.

Yeah cause she earned it.

I would imagine that sitting in that senate seat for even a WEEK gives you untold power to make money afterwards.

A woman called Rush today, and stated that when she changed her registration from GOP to independent in protest of RINO’s, she received SIX ballots in the mail, all of which she could have sent in.
McSally lost the seat through fraud, as did virtually all Republicans who lost by less than several points.

McCain’s seat cannot be expiring in 2019. Senators are elected for 6 year terms, and 1/3of them are elected every 2 years. That would be in EVEN numbered years, BTW.

It’s about all the Jesse Jackson one can quote.

“Stay out da Bushes!”

Meanwhile, Impact TV (Black Christian network) keeps on pushing Al Sharpton. Saw it again the other day. You can’t make this stuff up.

I’m not certain the chance to restore the CR had 6 years to wait.

Do you?

Whoever is appointed will have to run for the seat in 2020.

1.) McSally ran a poor campaign. 2.) She refused to debate her opponent, trying to play it “safe.” 3.)She ran nothing but negative add, which pissed off independents, who came out strongly against her.

SHE didn't do any of those things. SHE is a warrior. SHE is not a politician. She had a political machine built around her and she took her cues from her handlers. Being a novice as she is to the political process, she trusted somebody who obviously did a PISS POOR job of running her campaign.

But I'll bet the farm that the next time out this senior officer gets her own ducks in a solid column of twos and takes a more direct hand in her own future. I wouldn't put this warrior out of the game just yet.

the loss was a self inflicted wound. mcsally would have won if ward and arpaio had immediately and enthusiastically endorsed her.

instead, we now have a chick that should be an MILF porn star going to the united states senate.

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

Agree. This is the usually "safe" Republican Arizona, and her opponent was an outspoken radical leftist instead of a "mainstream" Sam Nunn/John Breaux type RAT who tries to sound centrist. The election should NOT have been close. McSally far underperformed Ducey and allowed the Dems to steal the seat.

If she couldn't win the an open seat, she will probably lose again as an appointed Senator. She's through, we need fresh blood.

>> McSally was AHEAD on election night. Then as usual, the late ballots and other shenanigans started coming in. <<

True. But doesn't change the fact that it was close enough for the RATs to steal it. The race should NOT have been close in the first place. She was running in normally safe GOP Arizona against an openly leftist loon.

She might have narrowly been ahead on election night, but she is a weak candidate. If a Dem candidate BARELY had more votes than an unapologetic conservative Republican candidate running in heavily DemocRAT San Francisco, do you think the Dems would want to promote that candidate for another race?
