I did not realize this. I expect that Kelly will win, as McSally has been disappointing to many. This makes it even more important to have the vote before the election.

Don’t count Mc Sally out. If Trump wins big in AZ, she will win also. As far as the Supreme Court vacancy is concerned, it will be filled long before November 30th.

YEP. As soon as Trump nominates the appointee, Mitch should schedule the vote the following day.

No deed for the circus.

President Trump is running strong in Arizona and will win Arizona and help McSally win her race. Arizona is solid Republican.

McSally has repeatedly run for the Senate, and repeatedly lost. She refused to endorse Trump in 2016, and was appointed to Jon Kyl’s seat by the AZ governor. She’s a terrible candidate who should never have been appointed to a seat she’s incapable of holding.

It don't make no difference if Kelly wins or not, the confirmation will still go through.
However, with Trump at the t0p of the ticket, McSally could still win.

How many times has she “repeatedly “ run for US Senate then?
Plus she has strongly backed Trump in the US Senate and Trump will campaign strongly for her.

The Second Amendment is a big, big issue in Arizona. Yet McSally has not run one commercial stating she will protect 2A and Kelly will not.

It needs to be filled in October. Give it two weeks.

Consider the critical path elements.

Look at someone like Barret - she went through an FBI background check in 2017 before being confirmed to a seat on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. So, if she is nominated now, the FBI only has to do an incremental background check update of 2017-2020.

In my view - it will be an example of deep state actors - in the bureaucracy of the FBI who will slow walk the background check in order to push the confirmation vote past the election.

Trump should narrow the field to 2 or 3 contenders and instruct the FBI to start the background checks now, and to work around the clock.

McConnell should look at the calendar carefully and preemptively limit the objections that Schumer can lodge, or at least consolidate them into as short a period as possible..

Won’t have an effect now that Minion is a “yes.” We will still have 50 + Pence.

Worry warts will have to try harder.

Won’t matter now that we have Minion. We are at 51. If we lose McSally, Pence still breaks the tie.

Martha McSally will easily win. Trump has to get behind her and hit Arizona very hard with multiple campaign visits, Do it Trumpie, she is worth it!!!

This posting is centered and directed to both Alaska & Maine
voters, who should immediately by the tens of thousands must directly communicate with the two traitor GOP Senate “Witches” Murkowski and Collins. Maine voters you can kill the re-election of Susan Collins very easily by not voting for her or just simply staying home on election day. As for Murkowski she comes up for re-election a few years out....but, you ought to let her know if she does not vote for the Woman the POTUS chooses to fill the vacated Ginsburg slot on the Supreme Court ,she can kiss her senate seat goodbye...period!!! Do it...Maine & Alaska, folks TODAY!!!

And....you good voters in West Virginia should get on the phone lines and tell Democrat, Senator, Joe Manchin...he better cast an “aye” vote for the Trump nominee for the Supreme Court, or, he is toast also!!! Time to put the political heat on these low life deadbeat characters!!! Do it, Folks!!!

McSally is unlikely to win under any circumstances. She is a bought paid for McCaniac groupie; a disappointment to Conservatiives and not in the running for Dems. She is a sometime never Trumper.We have warned, but think Never Trumpers/ McCaniacs want a loser for AZ.

I would ‘t count on that snake Pierre Delecto.

If he suddenly finds himself in a position to kill the nomination with his vote alone, you can bet he will take it. Right now he’s not in that position. But if we were to lose McSally’s vote then he would be.

I am so darned sick and tired of all the doom and gloom here in AZ that is blasting away on local news and in the AZ Rag.

The media wants Trump and McSally to lose badly here and it is evident in the headlines I see from the rag and of course the local news outlets.

The only exception is Hook and Lake on FoxNews10 as they do not portray this negativity.
