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.”

A better question is, to what does the first person plural possessive “OUR” refer to in the constantly repeated phrase “our democracy”?
Hint: They are not talking about you and me.
The media certainly do NOT "hate Republicans".
Republicans serve many useful purposes for the media.
Agree.
But I'm still waiting for the plan to replace their votes.
It means the same thing as “racism”
the whig republicans say what?
funny that they have started using the dem talking point
it is like they are the one and the same
I guess they’ll just have to hold their nose and vote for the candidate they didn’t prefer. The important thing is that R wins. Right?
That’s what they tell us all the time.
“Our democracy” is a liberal trope for socialism.
We can hope they end up being ‘team players’ but I think we know their particular definition of that phrase.
Later.
I voted for McCain in 1982, ‘84, ‘86, ‘92, ‘98, ‘04, ‘10.
In 2016 I just couldn’t do it anymore.
“The election last night was a catastrophe for the Arizona Republican Party and, I would argue, our democracy,”
Bush League Republicans will always assist the Democrat to win if they lose the primary.
and called the GOP’s slate of candidates an “exorcism of John McCain.”

Just what was needed.
Establishment repubes use the RAT terminology with ease.
“Karrin Taylor Robson whose work in GOP politics traces back to Ronald Reagan.”
And here we are, on the brink of a communist takeover. Good riddance Karrrrin, you suck.
XD XD... isn’t that something?
If end of our democracy means “death to go along to get along”; more power to it!!!!
YOUR democracy is a sham. Bugger off.
No.. the problems for them are they are rinos. They can’t stab him in the back anymore. He is hand picking America first people to be elected. If they get elected and he gets in office maybe we can get things back. But we need free and fair elections. Will they be able to steal it. Will these republicans currently in office realize what’s coming and turn on the establishment to try to save themselves. Or are they in to far.
