AZ-SEN 2018: Sinema Paradiso

[Landslide Lyndon]

It seems that everybody is saying this will help McSally by splitting the crazy vote.
But I wouldn't be surprised if sheriff Joe gets more than 50% of the vote without breaking a sweat.

If I were an AZ Dem I would be hesitant to push Arpaio through the primary and be 100% sure you can beat him in the general. Alabama came through for us in the end, but as far as we know now Arpaio won't be carrying the label "pedophile" into the race.

Yep, he will just carry the label of "convicted felon".

Oh my god, it's like they want to give us a free seat. For those of you claiming that this means the Trump vote will be split and allow McSally to (lmao) win the primary and the general election, 1) No, and 2) Even if McSally squeaks by, she loses the GE. Comfortably. You all can really take my word on that.

This^ Mcsally doesn't have a base, AZ is ground zero for anti establishment thinking on the GOP side.

Also love when my fellow AZ Dems on atlas and I team up to educate the outsiders about AZ politics

Always happy to do that.

But yeah, McSally has the exact same issue as Flake. She's spent the last few months anti-triangulating like a pro by vacillating on every major Trump-related issue and recently earning the ire of Ducey and his entire wing of the party by openly gunning for McCain's seat before the man has even been declared terminally ill. She has no friends here any more.

She enthusiastically supported AHCA, so I wouldn't say she vacillated on every Trump-related issue.

Sinema is literally the most moderate person in the house (by vote view score). She will destroy rightwig McSally and radical rightj Kelli and Arpario

She has baggage in her past and a history of being a radical.

And Ronald Reagan was a New Deal Democrat.

Vote for me because behind closed doors I'm as racist as Trump.

Asked whether Trump's "sh**t hole" comments were racist, Arizona Rep. Martha McSally had this to say after she announced her Senate campaign in Tucson: "I speak a little salty behind closed doors at times as well, so I'm not going to throw the first stone on using any language."

Can I implore you to at least stop quoting Greedo?
It's very annoying and kinda disrespectful to those of us who have him on ignore.

For a party that is ostensibly so gung-ho when it comes to Israel, Republicans sure show some strange affinity for anti-Semitic publications.

Not really sure what to do here except laugh.

Maybe Mueller should call sheriff Joe for a chat.

Sinema clearly learned nothing from 2016 if she thinks there's legions of "moderate, independent, reasonable, centrist" heroes out there ready and willing to support the most moderate, independent, reasonable, centrist candidate. She should've spent all this extra time she had slamming McSally for being a Ryan/McConnell stooge and going far to the right to pander to the base. Instead she spent all her time talking about what a moderate hero she was and how much she hated Chuck Schumer. Bold strategy, we'll see if it pays off.

McSally, on the other hand, is already hitting Sinema where it hurts. She is a far superior candidate.

I agree that running as a moderate hero ain't what it used to be.
But why should Sinema waste time and money painting McSally as an extremist when McSally herself is doing such a good job on that?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Did anything happen this month to taint Sinema and prop up McSally?

All I can gather was McSally released her first anti-Sinema ad, followed by posters now proclaiming Sinema as a bad candidate running a terrible campaign

Dude, Atlas declared Cisneros a surefire loser because his opponent regurgitated a discredited attack against him.

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

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA she got destroyed!!

Not sure why you’re laughing, McSally is a way stronger candidate than Ward is. 

I know it's hard for a Republican/conservative to comprehend it, but some people put basic decency above partisan gain.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Also you’re an unpleasant person

Thanks for the kind words.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Like I was saying, no need for Sinema to spend money trying to paint McSally as a right-wing nut when McSally herself does such a good job on that front.
