AZ-SEN 2022 Megathread: Mastering the Art of the Thiel

[Cyrusman]

Masters' campaign just seems like a total mismatch for the state he's in. Arizona is not a very socially conservative state (even Goldwater was pro-choice) and I really don't think swing voters in Maricopa want to hear any more BS about "audits" and how akshually Trump won.

Brnovich isn't necessarily a lock either, but he'd be a much better bet as long as he doesn't bend too far towards the Gosar types in the primary.

From the ads I’ve seen of masters he seems pretty elequent   and soft spoken. Not like Trump at all. Also unlike Trump he isn’t talking sh**t on McCain and has a much friendlier environment

Brnovich ran such a bad campaign it's hilarious. He might somehow still get second but I just don't see how he can win at this point. I will be voting for Blake Masters, he is a really smart guy and has potential to be a great senator. His messaging against Mark Kelly is already miles better than McSally's was, although tbf McSally was kind of doomed regardless.

What makes Masters stronger than McSally and don’t you think Masters will turn off moderate Republicans in Maricopa county?

McConnell super PAC pulling out of Arizona.

UPDATE: They've only canceled half of their buy, still not a vote of confidence but not pulling out entirely.

Any chance they are doing this to push Thiel to open his checkbook back up?

So 538 dropped Masters chances of winning yesterday from 22 to 19. Unless I missed another poll all that was released yesterday was a Data for Progress poll showing a 48-47 Kelly lead which ironically is the best poll for Masters so far lol. Yet that alone drops him 3 points. I swear to god, part of me wants either Masters or OZ to win just to Silver can have egg on his face.
