If this poll is accurate, at what point is Biden riding on Kelly's coattails

AZ-Sen: Martha McSally’s newest ad stars one of her constituents praising her on healthcare issues—a constituent who just happens to be McSally’s former campaign manager.

McSally is officially a parody at this point

Wow McSally probably did something very stupid.

literally the same thing everytime.

There's a funny piece of revionism about the appointment being done for Ducey to win in 2022 but that ignores the fact that if he wanted a placeholder he could have appointed someone from his staff or some hack from the local party. He then easily could have either ran in the 2020 special election or in 2024 against Sinema.

Besides it wasn't assumed that McSally would lose this race; Kelly wasn't known to be running when she was appointed & although she ran a poor campaign it wasn't this awful. If he really wanted someone to lose the seat he could have appointed someone much worse like Ward

McSally was appointed because she was seen as the strongest choice & because they hoped she could use her Senate seat to save this race in 2020.

This. In fact they already had a place holder, Kyle

lol

McSally campaign ad confuses Mark Kelly with twin brother

wow sometimes it's like I'm fasting for nothing

very dumb take from the Washington Post. It blames Trump for why McSally is losing. There is one person responsible for McSally losing two senate races, and her name is Martha McSally

it's insane that she is going this hard right in 2020 when there was no major primary challenge. Like ok, fine, go a bit far right in 2018 when you have Arpaio and Ward against you. But there is no reason to do this now 

[Lognog]

She just goes lower and lower, like the  stupidest game of limbo ever played
