Who will be senior Senator from Arizona? McSally or Sinema?

It's been said above, but Sinema will be Senior Senator due to the number of terms she's had in the House (3), compared to McSally (2).

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Gallego is going to win by like five points.

Grant Woods and Mark Kelly would be better candidates.

Gallego is probably too left wing for Arizona.

Let me believe

I hope to god Kelly runs so this whole argument can be completely avoided, the party can unite around him right? 

I would take Gallego over Grant Woods if it came down to it, ironic for a former Republican to say though

Will not run "As a Democrat"

Greattttt

Will not run "As a Democrat"

Greattttt

It's ok: later in the same interview, he clarified that he isn't running at all.

Phew, okay.  Thank you for clarifying that.

Well I want to see what Gallego does, and I think I'll be ideologically closer to him, but Kelly's got a good launch it seems.

[_]

Oh boy he flew in space and bombed Iraq, he's automatically an ideologically perfect fit for the Democratic party and will run a great campaign. /s

That might be a little mean, but you can't judge someone's ability to run and win a campaign based purely on their career.  I suggest waiting til Gallego announces what he's doing, and if he runs how he initially seems before jumping onboard someone's campaign.

[_]

Hey I know it goes against a fine Atlas tradition, but can't we accept that both Kelly and Gallegeo are A-list candidates, and that a healthy, and competitive primary will test both their messages, campaigns and abilities as politicians?

No because arguments and divisive primaries are what Atlas does best.

who care

You do, otherwise you wouldn't have replied

Not at all a confirmation that I'm interested in Sinema's personal beliefs from two decades ago when she's racked such an indefensible legislative record even with recognition that she represents a swing seat. Am I supposed to defend Macron's economic programme because he supported Chevènement in 2002 and could theoretically still be sympathetic to left-wing policies?

Straw Man

(This was sarcasm in case it wasn't obvious)

[_]

Because there are people that are very sick and cannot afford healthcare in this country because insurance companies don't want to pay for it. CEOS are making record profits while we the taxpayer have to pay for their employees welfare because they aren't paid a living wage! I want to get out of the war in Afghanistan! I want people to not have to be burdened by debt once they get out of college! And I believe Gallego will deliver on these issues better then Kelly will.

And as to whether Gallego is electable, I am predicting that Kamala Harris is going to be the democratic nominee for president(not my choice but it seems obvious). I am fairly confident she will win the state of Arizona against Trump. I highly doubt Martha McSally, who I'm sure the voters are tired of already after having voted her out, is not going to outrun Donald Trump. Gallego/Kelly would both win in this scenario.

Straw Man, go run in Colorado, the end.
