I need some pepto bismal...

The best move forward for the GOP is to abandon the idea of using Primaries and instead pick Nominees in smoke-filled rooms, with only state party leaders allowed in.

Yeah, but seeing as they were firmly behind Jeb! I have a lot of doubts about the elites ability to pick votewinners as well.

Luther Strange is another example.

Good for McSally for opening up. I dont think it really helps her in the primary, but its important to speak out. And since McSally isnt saying Sinema sexually abused her, I'm not sure it changes anything in the general either.

Just you wait. Sinema is bisexual after all. I'm sure some fringe right wing group may try something like this.

Perhaps I am missing something, but how does Sinema's sexuality figure into this at all?  McSally's abuser was male.

I know I was just making a sardonic joke about the cynicism of Republican attacks from superbudgie saying that "McSally isnt saying Sinema sexually abused her."

I'm sure Kyrsten Sinema is DEVASTATED by the news of Pence's endorsement

Pence's endorsement confirmed my suspicions that Pence (if he somehow succeeded Trump and became the 2020 nominee) would not be this savior that would bring disaffected Republicans back into the fold.

Sinema says she won't support Schumer for party leader

I think she's really going a little bit too far with the whole moderate schtick. I mean, every sign points to her being another Gillibrand, a progressive masquerading as a conservadem during her time in the House before becoming a progressive in the Senate once again. Her past certainly wouldn't suggest her being a conservative Democrat, so why is she going with a move even more radical than what Manchin and Heitkamp are doing? Like, I get why House candidates go after Pelosi, she's been in power forever and is incredibly unpopular, but Schumer's only been party leader for a few years. I just think Sinema is going a little bit too far to get elected (and honestly, she doesn't need to, she's definitely the favorite at this point).

That position seems kind of dangerous, doesn't it? What if Democrats flip the Senate with a 51-49 majority? Is she just not going to vote for Schumer and actually force a new majority leader? I don't know who told her that Chuck was so toxic she needed to publicly back away, or if she came up with that herself, but whoever did, they don't seem very smart. The voters on the fence by and large don't give a crap about Chuck Schumer, and that is if they even know who he is in the first place.

Yeah, Schumer isn't Pelosi, he's mostly anonymous. If anything this calls more attention to the issue than there otherwise would be.

Sinema is overrated. She should be hammering McSally for being the handpicked candidate of the toxic Mitch McConnell, instead she's bashing a random guy that probably has <50% name recognition in Arizona, much of which is from locked in partisans.

Rep. Gosar endorses Chemtrail Kelli:

Does anyone even care what he thinks?

This is another one of those races that has been and will remain a tossup.

Omg, I can't wait for that b!tch to lose tomorrow.

I'm really glad to hear that Trump cited McSally specifically for her strength on borders, crime, the Second Amendment, and that she loves the vets. It's always good to hear what distinctive and unique qualities about a candidate appeal to Trump in different districts.

LOL

With all these compelling arguments, I am now convinced: Sinema is a stellar candidate and the only Democrat who could ever win Titanium-R Arizona in a red wave year like 2018. Thanks for enlightening me.

Bow down before your Queen Sinema!

"Jack Nut Ride" is my favorite pornographic film.

McSally is a mess

Disgusting. Is she trying to lose?

There is no need to try. She will lose.

Let's hope so.

My god, this is legitimately disgusting and shameful. Just when you think they can't get any lower...

One thing I have learned over the past few years is that the GOP will always find a way to go lower.
