McSally won the nomination because the conservative vote was split by Arpaio. She underperformed in the general, and shouldn’t be rewarded with a free seat.
No, she lost to a candidate who got almost many less votes than the Governor. She’s a disaster, she didn’t even fight the way Rick Scott is with the Shenanigans. Bye
No thanks. Kyl is way more conservative than McSally.
Sounds like a plan. Is it legal? Maybe so. Is McSally the best choice to take over from Kyl? Maybe not. But appoint somebody conservative, very very conservative, and young enough to be a viable candidate to run on their own in 2020... and 2026.
Absolutely agree.
Better yet just have the Senate refuse to seat Sinema and seat McSally instead.
There must be a few better conservatives in AZ than either Kyl or Martha. I can’t think of any, though. Is J.D. Hayworth still alive?
if they appoint anyone, it should be a conservative. McSally is not that person
She ought to get the seat she rightly won — and a staunch conservative/MAGA replacement ought to be named to follow Kyle.
Well, Kyl said he just wanted to be a place holder right? So in that case McSally would need re-elected in 2020 or 2022. When was Mclame last elected? 2014 or 2016. Not in AZ so am unsure.
Disagree. Ducey should appoint the most conservative person he can find. Some one who can easily be re-elected in 2920. Mc Sally might be a good person but she can not connect with the voters. We lost that seat because she did not connect and a phony woman who is close to being a communist was elected instead.
Absolutely not. If she couldn’t defeat that character, how can she win in another election?
Her background is admirable. Her political skills clearly aren’t. My understanding is every other Republican on the ballot was able to win in Maricopa County except for her. Ridiculous.
Yes, there was probably BS and fraud. But aren’t there better options in Arizona? She should’ve won this race going away.
Disagree.
Why in the world would it be advisable to appoint McSally to the Senate when she couldn’t win a Senate campaign against a Leftist candidate like Sinema??? That would pretty much guarantee a loss of that Senate seat in the next election.
McSally was a weak, moderate candidate. Got 51% of the vote in the primary. We ought to be able to find SOMEONE better than her to appoint.
Talk her into buying another house, then appoint Sarah Palin to fill out the term.
The exploding heads would be seen from space.
Don’t like this. She couldn’t win an election, barely won a house seat.
I’m not sure who I’d put in there, but I don’t think McS has earned it.
I totally understand why voters found McSally to be unimpressive. She’s a next generation McCain or Flake.
I think I heard that is indeed in the works already
Dont forget, we will most likely be up against McCain buttboy and lying traitor GRANT WOODS in 2020.
What? Is your goal TWO democrat seats for Arizona starting in 2021? If McSally screwed up this badly once, why let her blow another one?
