Red wave?
Is this a primary, or an actual seat election?

Lesko 52.9%
Tipireni 47.1%

Tuesday’s special election in Arizona’s Eighth Congressional District, in the conservative suburbs outside Phoenix, may reveal the depth of Republicans’ political challenges in 2018. Debbie Lesko, the party’s nominee and a former state senator, is favored to win over Hiral Tipirneni, a Democrat and emergency room doctor, in a district that supported Donald J. Trump in 2016 by more than 20 points.
GO TRUMP! Trump's succeeding. More and more Americans are impressed. The self-serving attacks by Democrats and their henchpersons are obvious and repulsive to the majority of Americans.MAGA!
AMERICANS LOVE AMERICA!
Americans do not like anti-Americanism.
President Trump's popularity despite the constant, relentless, ubiquitous, vicious, hate filled attacks by the lowlife Democrats and their henchpersons, speaks for itself.
GO TRUMP! MAGA!
These special elections get critical mass from the hysterical media and from the big donors on the Democrat side thinking that they can be wolves and take out the stragglers. They can’t repeat this kind of outcome in the November Election.
It’s like the old saw: what do you call a person who graduates from Medical School last in the class? Doctor
How long until the Dem lawsuits start because, obviously, “Russians” or something?
A good, solid win. Especially with all the “RED (Communists) for ED BS that is taking place in AZ. No one is being reasonable, and actual socialists are gaining a foothold.
It was a long way for Tipirneni in the first place.
Lesko wins as expected in AZ. Demmedia deeply saddened.
Dems this afternoon were threatening the Republican victory margin of anything less than 10% was a win for the Dimms “across the nation “ (paraphrased)
Good, I made a donation to Debbie.
Congrats.
Local TV news anchors trying (desperately) to down play the GOP D. Lesko Victory. Suddenly, -the GOP only won by 6 points, and that’s what the Dems can now cling to.
Yeah, the locals reporters had some very disgusting face expressions, ..... it was really a good show. Spin, Spin, Spin.
The local Liberal Rag Phoenix newspaper endorsed the Dem Opponent, - so I was glad to see this Victory get shoved right up their Liberal nose(s) .... once again!
“Easily defeats” is a bit of an exaggeration given a 5-6 pt spread in a CD President Trump carried by 20 pts .. but a win is a win and I hope she prevails again in November.
Gosh you mean the dems didn’t win? But but but....everyone said they were gonna flip this one
Good news!
