McConnell is lobbying Arizona's governor to name McSally as Kyl replacement
CNN ^ | November 19, 2018 | Devan Cole and John King

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is leveraging his political power to try to convince Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to choose Rep. Martha McSally to replace Republican Sen. Jon Kyl, who is considering leaving his seat before his term ends, several Republican sources familiar with the conversations tell CNN.

McSally, a Republican congresswoman who once worked for Kyl, lost her Senate bid two weeks ago to Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema. Kyl, who was picked by the governor in September to fill the seat vacated by the late Sen. John McCain. told CNN last week he has decided whether to leave office before his term ends at the end of next year. He wouldn't reveal his decision, but said he will talk to Ducey about it.

Bullsh*t

1.) McSally ran a poor campaign.

2.) She refused to debate her opponent, trying to play it “safe.”

3.)She ran nothing but negative add, which pissed off independents, who came out strongly against her.

4.) The McCain Never-Trumper wing came out against her, so to rub it in Trump’s face.

AND FOR THOSE FOUR REASONS, SHE LOST. PERIOD.

Making excuses and blaming others does not compensate FOR A PISS POOR PERFORMANCE. Period.

You are smoking some serious strain of weed there fella.

McSally was ahead and even declared the winner by some outlets until late ballots suddenly started appearing.

Sinema's victory margin is almost exactly the same total as the swing of Ducey's margin of victory in Maricopa County (32,000 votes)

But it's all good. All of the vote fraud happened under the watchful eyes of the DHS. My prediction is that some House races (particularly in Orange Country in CA) will have special elections. At the least, there will be new laws at stopping vote fraud.

“I don’t think there was any fraud in Arizona”

200,000 more votes for the senate race than the governer’s race. I wonder why? Oh yeah, illegal aliens allowed to vote for federal candidates. But other than that no fraud.../oxy

1.) McSally ran a poor campaign.

She still kicked Ward's ass though LOL

2.) She refused to debate her opponent, trying to play it “safe.”

Ummm...they did end up having a debate

3.)She ran nothing but negative add, which pissed off independents, who came out strongly against her.

I would too if my opponent called her own state a meth lab of democracy and endorsed the Taliban

4.) The McCain Never-Trumper wing came out against her, so to rub it in Trump’s face.

Nothing of this sort happened. McSally lost to vote fraud plain and simple.

AND FOR THOSE FOUR REASONS, SHE LOST. PERIOD.

So did Ward (Guffaws)

Making excuses and blaming others does not compensate FOR A PISS POOR PERFORMANCE. Period.

Why don't you crawl out of rock and get immersed in other news other than the postings here on FR.

And let’s not forget the Conservative Kelli Ward supporters who decided to “abstain in the senate race rather then vote for someone who is perceived as a McCain/Flake liberal.

The voter margin Ducey won can be almost entirely explained by his higher percentage of Independent voters. McSally an Sinema split them 50/50, he did better

There is no investigation into vote fraud in AZ by Q or anyone else. Some weak R party types are doing a post-election “audit” which proves there’s nothing else going on.

People who voted for Ducey didn't split their vote for Sinema.

C'mon you guys. The fraud was all over FR and in the news. McSally was AHEAD on election night. Then as usual, the late ballots and other shenanigans started coming in.

Arizona rejected her in favor of a lesbian Taliban-is-okay leftist freak.

Choose someone who is electable. We can’t lose both Arizona Senate seats.

Kelli Ward supported McSally and cut an ad for her right before the election. Mohave County, her stronghold, went heavily for McSally. No non-crazy R or Conservative failed to turn out once Trump came to AZ and endorsed her. She and Ward and Trump and the rest were all together at that rally.

Maricopa Republicans are doing an audit, yes - but Homeland Security is in charge of election violations.

All of the vote fraud was witnessed by DHS.

Massive vote fraud in AZ caused McSally's defeat.

Preposterous. McRINO was the single worst candidate I have ever seen. Incompetent and totally lacking in charisma, either personally or in front of a crowd. Appoint her, and she loses again in 2 years.
