Republican leaders and megadonors are warning Arizona GOP Senate candidate Blake Masters to improve his fundraising or else be doomed in his bid to unseat Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly in November's election, according to people familiar with the matter.
Masters has received urgent private calls in recent weeks from GOP leaders like Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, these people explained. The NRSC is the official campaign arm for the Senate GOP, and has spent over $6 million taking on Masters' rival Kelly, according to data from the nonpartisan OpenSecrets.
Kelly's seat has long been considered a potential pickup opportunity for Republicans, as forecaster Cook Political Report labels the race a toss-up. Recent polling, however, suggests that Masters is falling behind. A Fox News poll taken in August shows Kelly leading Masters by 8 points, while an Arizona Republican pollster told NBC News that his own surveys showed Masters trailing Kelly by 10 points.
Longtime GOP megadonors, who want to help Masters overtake Kelly but have not heard from him since he won the party's primary, have inundated the Republican candidate with calls, these people explained.

If only the people of Arizona had nominated THEIR preferred candidate - then they'd spare no expense!
Of course their previous preferred candidate, Martha McSally, went down in flames - TWICE!
Repeal the 17th! This crap goes away.

Translation: The corrupt elites want favors in exchange for pledging campaign cash. Public be damned.
Here’s the problem with your theory; “Longtime GOP megadonors, who want to help Masters overtake Kelly but have not heard from him since he won the party’s primary, have inundated the Republican candidate with calls, these people explained.”
If this is in fact true, is Masters in it to win??
President Trump please pick up the white courtesy phone.

Why should someone who doesn't want to be just another Mitch Bitch (as Masters presumably does not) need to worry about the lack of funds from the liberal GOP establishment money and liberal corporate megadonors, when there are other better alternatives?
I think you've found the problem.
I'm sure MSN would know all about what Republican corporate megadonors are thinking, and would report such information honestly and with no agenda other than simply reporting the unbiased facts.
The November “red wave” is turning into a yellow tinkle and the America taxpayers are a lot worse off for it. Watch what happens to a gallon of gas on 9 Nov 2022. Talk about sticker shock!

Where is Trump? He pushed Masters and needs to follow through.
The point that Masters needs to make is really simple.
He’s FROM Arizona, actually understands what people want/think, and Kelly’s a damn carpetbagger from Joisey.
He may be conserving cash until October, which in his position makes sense. Especially now that it’s obvious that McConnell is trying to screw him. But he doesn’t need much: just paint Kelly for what he really is: a remote, out of state, out of touch opportunist who probably couldn’t find Redington Pass on a map, much less know what people do there.

Yeah. Let the politicians nominate them. Thats a great idea. Who needs to vote at all?
“And where is Blake Masters? Quiet as a mouse.”
Ah, the J.D. Vance strategy.
At least the Fairtax had actual legislation to define their idiocy.
All you lunatics have is: "Repeal the 17th! This crap goes away". That's your pitch. Even Kamala Harris could come up with something that makes more sense.
"Repeal the 17th! This crap goes away". Then what? Send everyone home, close and lock the doors to the Senate Chamber.
The state legislators will take us out of the nastiness of donations etc., then sell the seats to the highest bidders from their like minded good ol boy network to further their SOROS agenda.
Surely this ragtag movement can be traced back to SOROS...
He just came out yesterday completely changing his position on abortion. What will he change next?
Perhaps you could not resort to ad hominem attacks and provide a counter point to the idea of repealing the 17th. Seems like you’re just a bully.
Umm... maybe do some research on how senators were selected prior to the 17th amendment instead of proving your ignorance?
