Sinema was scripted, very...more polished...more canned answers:
"I just looovvvve Arizona. It is sooo beautiful...I like to take walks outdoors in nature all the time."
"I am sooo Independent."
Took her 6 or 7 minutes to answer the question: How would you have voted on Kavanaugh? (No)
McSally was less scripted, more off the cuff and seemed more real. McSally was more aggressive and wanted to mix it up more. Usually the more aggressive fighter wins in a close bout (See Trump). McSally walked over to Sinema to shake her hand at the end, that looked good.
I give it to McSally on points, 6 rounds to 4, or 7 to 3....but I am biased towards her.
Kinda dull, no fireworks. Should have been a longer debate, at a table with one moderator and they should have been facing each other and been able to mix it up more.

Sinema is toast.
The jig is up
A commie that dines at the Y vs. McCain in a skirt.
I hope so, McSally looks good tonight.
I don’t think McSally has the same lust for power that defined McCain.
I gave the first 15 minutes to Sinema based on a polished performance. However, as it went on, she was like a Barbie doll - too polished, too prepackaged, and nothing but repeated empty platitudes. “Tax cuts are hard!”
I dislike McSally from her military days, but she loosened up and provided a genuine contrast. In terms of policy, I obviously prefer McSally. But she also was more believable by the end.
The moderators were OK until they finished their questions with “What would you do about global warming?” McSally’s pissed response that we needed to be talking about the military, closing Luke AFB & Sinema’s Pink history probably upset the Democrat listeners, but I thought it made sense. Good moment for her, and it came at the very end.
Missed the debate because of the Dodger game.
I will make one prediction: Yavapai County will have a 75% voter turnout and 70% of the voters will go with McSally.
Why do you dislike McSally from her military service?
Really debates don’t exist in our politics. They are more like joint press conferences.
I’m curious about that, too.
Exactly. All she had was canned answers. Took her 6 minutes to answer how she would have voted on Kavanaugh! (No)
Replays at 10 pm on PBS here in Phoenix and at 1030 on CSPAN
You have seen the alternative and still will bitch if McSally gets elected. You live in your own awesome world.
“Why do you dislike McSally from her military service?”
She received very special treatment for being ‘the first female fighter pilot’. Her career was followed closely by congresswomen. Her lawsuit against the DoD for the rules while traveling off base in places like Saudi Arabia was STUPID. The rules were made for her protection. Further, many of us who served in places like that a heck of a lot more times than she did would have shaved OUR legs and worn a burka to get off base and go somewhere with good food and booze - but we were men, so we didn’t count. And if I had sued the SecDef, over ANYTHING, it would have ended my career. It enhanced hers.
I’ve also never met an A-10 pilot with anything good to say about her. There may be one somewhere, but I never met one!
BTW - I also had a low opinion of ANYONE who got out of the cockpit and went to DC to advise congressmen - in her case, Sen Jon Kyle. I suppose someone has to pull that sort of duty, but like a lot of guys in ops, I thought badly of anyone who even WANTED that sort of duty - political buttkissing, although they then have good careers because of their congressional interest.
So yeah, I had a low opinion of her while she was still on active duty. She was a very politically connected officer awarded duties in excess of her actual experience. IMHO. I’d have cut her some slack if I had ever found an A-10 pilot who spoke highly of her.
Probably ought to add that I will absolutely vote for her in November! Voted for Ward in the primary, but will do whatever it takes to vote for McSally in Nov. I don’t have to like her. She is vastly better, on the issues and as a person, than her opponent! Not even close.
“You have seen the alternative and still will bitch if McSally gets elected.”
No, no...I always celebrate when a rino gets elected. I’ll have a big party when Romney wins, too. We can’t have enough demoncrats in the Republican party /oxy & banana peel smoking
Is that a typo?
OK, I saw your reasons.
You still haven’t offered an alternative that will win in two weeks. Who should we elect instead of McSally?
