All right.
Get your heads on straight.
Arizona is CHANGING. Obama lost to Romney by 9% there. Trump won the state by only 3.5%. Huge closure. Flake won his seat there by only 3% and had less than 50% of the vote to do that. And he did it when the demographics gave Romney that lead. It has since closed.
Arizona is moving leftward. The answer to this is not to run candidates who are more rightward than the guy who just barely won last time. If you want to have rightward candidates in office, then persuade the general populace. Don’t try to get them by removing the only hope you have of holding the seat.
Stop this silliness. You want conservatism? Persuade the Democrats to move rightward.
That’s what they said about Georgia District 6.
Until it became a “referendum on Trump”, that is.
You can’t go by 2016 results when predicting 2018 elections. Trump was an unknown campaigner in 2016, and many Republicans, swayed by the constant media attacks, left the presidential ballot blank and only voted for their down-ballot reps.
Now that Trump has proven his mettle to all but the most stubborn never-Trumpers, running a candidate that is enthusiastically pro-Trump will win in most every republican district, and in many democrat districts to boot!
Let’s give that a try and show the GOPe exactly where Rebublican votes come from!
Let’s have a nationwide “referendum on Trump”!
No, you get your head on straight. I’ve been posting the registration numbers since November. Rs have outregistered Ds by 30%, and the margin grows every month. Ward came closer to beating McTurd than Kirkpatrick did.
Ward can beat any Dem out there, but the issue is Flake, just as it was McTurd in 16.
AZ is still solidly conservative and will be solidly red in the near future. Ward can beat Flake, but needs to do a few things. Flake MUST be removed or he’ll be another McTurd in a few years-—impossible to remove.
You're missing a key point here. AZ has a large Mormon population. Romney maximized that vote, and the jerk did the same for Egg McMuffin - which cost Trump a lot of votes/turnout.
