Arizona megathread

[Mr. Smith]

What a mess of a candidate Hobbs is turning out to be. She is gonna lose this race against that nutcase Lake

It's 2022 and Trump failed to be re-elected. This was likely set in stone anyway.

Besides, Perdue won election night after refusing Ossoff. We really don't know how that run-off would have gone if Trump had just acted competent.

So color me skeptical that this in particular is what matters.

Is wbrocks a member of the Kari Lake campaign team? wbrocks keeps posting clips that make me like Kari Lake more, lol

I feel safe in saying that you're not part of his target audience.

...a person who votes for D's or R depending on the election is not his target audience? Who is his audience - dem's who already agree with him and vote the same 100% of the time no matter what? Makes sense why his comments are so out of touch all of the time.


I think y'all need to realize the socially moderate lib econ moderate conservative is not the average swing voter. And y'all act like doubting some of the 2020 election is the most damning crime in humanity, when two of the democratic politicians I voted for, Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams, both deny the legitimacy of the person who beat them.

This is a lie.

Not entirely, but both cases would justified if they did outright.

I’m not really sure how Hobbs not debating is supposedly single-handedly killing her campaign when after every other debate everyone on Atlas agrees that debates don’t change anything. You can’t have it both ways.

The debate itself changes nothing; but you still have to agree to do it lest you look like you're a chicken.

[Mr. Smith]

Hobbs refusing to debate has to be one of the biggest campaign own-goals this cycle.

Lake hasn't been "begging" for a debate. She's been using Hobbs' refusal to debate as an attack against her, and if the polls are any indication, it has been an effective one.

Debates don't change anything unless someone makes a big gaffe. But refusing to debate does. It looks cowardly and weak even to the vast majority who don't watch debates.

The debate itself changes nothing; but you still have to agree to do it lest you look like you're a chicken.

Your belief is that Hobbs will still win because of how extreme Lake is? That the campaign which she's run matters little?

So Hobbesy got towed over the line. Good result, but this should never have been this close given Kelly and Fontes.

I stand by what I said.
