2020 AZ Senate Megathread: Kelly's Race to Lose

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Looking forward to Woods beating her in 2020!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Gallego is going to win by like five points.

Wtf no

That won't happen. Even Sinema only won by 2. Gallego would probably lose by the same margin.

Ruben Gallego is too liberal

Democrats have to offer moderate Republicans and indepenents a palatable alternative.

Grant Woods is a good candidate.

Grant Woods was a Republican until this year. He can screw right off.

That's true, but there's no doubt he'd beat McSally quite comfortably in a matchup.

I really cannot imagine McSally surviving in a general against Kelly. He might even help the Democratic nominee carry the state.

A part of me tells me that she doesn’t expect herself to be re-elected. She is doing the exact opposite of what she should be doing to win.

Welp...

This is smart. I agree with MT Treasurer here. To win, she needs to win more Trump voters (if she'd stayed even with Trump approvals in 2018 she would have won 50-48). Being more Trumpian probably works well for her.

She already tied herself to trump in her first campaign and she still lost. Arizona is heavy with McCain Republicans and they will screw over any Trump Republican the party nominates.

McSally is currently on... Laura Ingraham's show.

It's going to be a close race, but I have a hard time seeing McSally beat Kelly... even if Trump wins the state (which will also be close).

I wouldn't be surprised if she has a negative incumbency advantage since Arizonans probably weren't thrilled with her getting a Senate seat immediately after they said no.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

You guys are missing the obvious. This is one of the most transparent fundraising ploys from a losing campaign I’ve seen in a long time. I mean, she’s fundraising off of this everywhere:

She should really work on her acting because genuinely outraged Trumpist isn’t exactly her strong suit.

No doubt it's going to get her money from internet MAGATs, but it's not a smart campaign strategy for winning in Arizona. She tied herself to Trump at the hip in 2018 and she still lost, and she's going up against a candidate who is arguably stronger than Sinema.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Republican politicians' attempts to replicate Trump's gimmicky name-calling schtick is honestly so cringey and pathetic.

McSally deserves to get blanched.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Ah yes, Adolf Hitler, love of sunglasses.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Mark should sue.

Martha McSally has easily had the most embarrassing Senate career in my lifetime. She was a loser from the beginning, and will likely be the first person in US history (correct me if I'm wrong) to lose both of her state's Senate seats to the other party within two years.

What's remarkable is that she was slated to be a big rising star in the Republican party, and now it's all crashing down.
