Watch Senate Candidate Mark Kelly Give Three Different Answers as to Whether He'd Support Bernie for President

Arizona Senate candidate Mark Kelly gave us a good indication of the state of the Democratic Party this weekend now that Sen. Bernie Sanders (VT) is the bonafide frontrunner in the 2020 presidential primary. Kelly, who's running to unseat Republican Sen. Martha McSally in November, can't give a straight answer as to whether he'll support a democratic socialist for president.

CBS 5 Arizona's Family reporter Dennis Welch first tried to get an answer out of Kelly on air on Friday.

"Bernie Sanders wins," Welch said, giving Kelly a hypothetical. "Are you going to support someone who describes himself as a democratic socialist?"

Kelly was an astronaut before he decided to run for office. He is husband to former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), who was shot in the head at point-blank range in 2011 in a supermarket parking lot and now speaks out in support of gun control. Together the pair founded the organization Americans for Responsible Solutions.

"Kelly was an astronaut..." Now he's an a$$hole. And a disgrace to his oath as a naval officer and to MY US NAVY. Come on AZ, don't send margabby kellygiffords to the senate. Mr "We support the 2nd amendment blah blah blah!" But with restrictions of course. But he and gabby step out on their back porch and plink. Must be nice. HIPPO CRIT! And, as I recall, didn't margabby purchase an AR under false pretenses? But to the elite----meh.

He’s a certified non-starter in my book.

This guy is a fool.

He's pretty disgusting in the way he manipulates his wife, exploiting her tragedy for his gain...and she has no idea of what he's doing.

Of course, she wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer even before she got shot, but hey...she garners pity, which gives him attention and that's what it's all about for his despicable ass.

Republicans have a weak candidate against him and we are getting too many from CA who still insist on voting Dem. Even those retirees from Mi and WI vote Dem. Martha won’t even go on local radio shows. And then there’s the sympathy crowd who think Gabby deserves her husband/puppet master should win. I’m afraid AZ is lost.

Ya all watch as the McCain/Flake branch of the party in this state cuts the legs out from under McSally.

You think Romney is a backstabber? Hell, he couldnt hold a candle compared to the McCains and Flake.

There are two Arizona’s. The Mormon part and the rest.

He’s a tool. And he was an astronaut, yeah yeah. That meant something back in Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. Now they aren’t the same caliber. I met two at an event. One was pretty bright. The other was pretty underwhelming.

The second amendment is non-negotiable at this point. The Democrat party has at least two leading candidates with straight out marxist backgrounds. (Buttgig and Sanders) Comey and Nellie Ohr have deep documented communist backgrounds. Bernie has had 4 people caught on film discussing reeducation camp, whether or not they “need” to kill property owners. AOC says we don’t want your money, we want your power. They have flooded the nation with 2 million moslems since 9/11 (Bush and Obama equally) and probably 25 million Mexicans and MS13.

And you think I’m going to give up my militia rifle because you pass some law? I regard that as a law the bolsheviks might pass in 1917.

“who was shot in the head at point-blank range in 2011 in a supermarket parking lot “

“point blank”? She was shot at 107 yards? That is point blank for a 9mm. I had no idea. I thought she was shot at very close range.

Urinalists sometimes get their “facts” wrong and have to, per nuzzlin’ joe Biden’s direction, go with the “truth”. They’ll let us know what that is.

Yes, that’s the story that’s going around.

I believe it.
