As the dust continues to settle after the MAGA-wing of the Republican Party trounced the so-called establishment wing of the party in Arizona, many of the GOP’s old guard are sounding the alarm that the party is headed for a total wipeout come November in the now purple state.
“I will call in a bit to talk about the doomsday ticket,” Barrett Marson, a Republican political strategist told Politico’s David Siders, but first “let me wake up and finish crying.”
Siders adds, using a perfect illustration for the moment, “A prominent Republican in the state had texted him a GIF of Thelma and Louise driving off the cliff.”
On Tuesday night, Republican voters in Arizona were the latest across the country to weigh in on the battle within the GOP for its future. In the gubernatorial race, the Trump-backed, election-denying Kari Lake was facing off against Pence-backed Karrin Taylor Robson whose work in GOP politics traces back to Ronald Reagan.
The chair of the Arizona Republican Party, Kelli Ward, celebrated Lake’s apparent victory on Wednesday — the race remains too close to call with Lake at 46.2% and Robson at 44.4% as of Thursday morning — and called the GOP’s slate of candidates an “exorcism of John McCain.”

Amen, my friend!
This cry baby mob does not get it that we are tired of all these so-called republicans that give in to the commies and are like the frat guys in the movie Animal House. "Whack, can I have another sir?" They just don't get it that WE THE PEOPLE are sick of their crap and want better leadership, errrr, like from the MAGA side of the party. To hell with these whine bags.
“and called the GOP’s slate of candidates an “exorcism of John McCain.”
Do Cheney next. Then Murkowski.

Exactly.
I’m glad the GOPe failed in Arizona, now if the sore losers can’t unite behind the winners, then they can join the Socialist party. We don’t need them.
I hate when politicians say ‘Our Democracy’s, because if don’t know we are a Federal Republic, they need to be fired by the voters.
And Hobbs is running a Sinema-styled "I'm a maverick" campaign.
I can't find any polling on Lake vs. Hobbs and the last poll I could find with Masters vs. Kelly was nearly a year ago with Kelly +9.
My gut says both Hobbs and Kelly win. It doesn't help that Hobbs is currently Secretary of State of Arizona and will oversee the election process.
Those “republicans” don’t get that we are NOT a democracy.
They are part of the problem and that’s why they are losing.
Excellent observation.
I honestly think the election fraud included grifters Kelly and Sinema. Even mayors’ races are stolen.
We are a representative democracy, meaning the people get to vote unlike, say, an absolute monarchy (Saudi Arabia) or a one-party communist dictatorship (China).
Absolutly... BRING BACK THE RULE OF LAW..!
Yep, I noticed. I can’t believe I had to vote for McCain. He, Bush, and Romney all lied to us just to get our vote.
Exorcism of McCain is the best thing to happen to the Arizona Republican Party.
From out here in the cheap seats it always looked to me like the “Republican strategists” were just Democrats in drag.
They are gonna have to do a lot better job ‘splainin’ how Republican residents of Arizona choosing who their Republican candidate will be in a Republican primary election by voting isn’t “democratic”.
Everybody voted. She won. She is the candidate.
What exactly is the problem here? Sounds like the problem is the democratically chosen candidate isn’t actually a Democrat. Boo hoo, Cry Harder, bitchez
No rino establishment, it is a disaster for the establishment rinos. If rinos were smarter, they would learn from their betrayal of the base, but they aren’t, so they won’t learn anything and just keep stomping their foot like drama queens.
