Sinema coming so close is EXTREMELY disturbing. She is open borders and nationalized health care...and this is a statewide vote. She is another Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie. And she almost won a “red” state against - whatever you think of McSally - she has to be considered at least a solid candidate.
Arizona is about to follow Colorado and Nevada into flipping to solid blue.
Yep, I shudder to think what kind of country my children will live in after I’m gone. I think the country is lost and we just haven’t fully seen it yet.
Yep, we sure are headed in the direction of CA & NV.
“Arizona is about to follow Colorado and Nevada into flipping to solid blue.”
Sad but true.
“And she almost won a “red” state against - whatever you think of McSally - she has to be considered at least a solid candidate.”
Actually, McSally sucked as a candidate. She was anti-Trump just 2 years ago and ended up clinging to his coattails...which makes her look like a chameleon. She has an off-putting personality. She seemed to campaign on the slogan, “Sinema? REALLY?”, or, “But EVERYBODY knows I’m supposed to win!” - which doesn’t cut it.
I heard she didn’t show for local talk radio interviews. I never heard her interviewed on local radio. There was a tough primary the democrat didn’t face, and Sinema was able to run a TON of ads setting her up as the ‘nice candidate’ long before McSally won the primary. I strongly suspect Sinema outspent McSally by a large margin.
And Sinema is a much better campaigner. She’s a polished speaker, unlike McSally. She’s good at putting people at ease. McSally, OTOH, gives “briefings” - one way talks like an officer gives. I’m ex-military and I do the same thing - but I’m not fool enough to run for office. My personality would grate on people too. But a GOOD candidate reaches out and makes people FEEL good about her (or him).
Cruz has some of the same problems in Texas. He may of may not be an effective Senator. He debates well, but doesn’t make people feel good. No charisma. Intellect, but no charisma. I’d have been thrilled to vote for someone like him - someone I know would vote the way I would. But having the right positions doesn’t inspire people.
