Amazing that a radical leftist like Sinema could even come close to winning in Arizona, let alone win.
Californication and mexification will do that to you.
Demographics is destiny is truer than ever.

It’s not amazing at all. The “retiring” GOP Senator and his allies barely lifted a finger to keep this seat GOP. When the Dems want it more they win. It’s that simple.
But it also seems that McCain’s holdovers in Arizona were actively working against McSally. If we look around the country beyond Arizona, it’s the RINOs who are doing more than the the RATS to take out conservatives. That’s what goes here in the People’s Republic of New York where the detestable Al D’Amato is Andrew Cuomo’s biggest cheerleader because Cuomo shovels the money to D’Amato and his cronies, and in Virginia where the RINOs have sunk multiple statewide conservative candidates.
Yes, the demographics of ethnic block voting for Dems is the real story,( not myth of white liberals nor Rinos) and the challenge for GOP. Without the block voting of African Americans (93% + for Dems+ and Hispanic Americans-approaching 70%,) the Dems would have a little over 100 House seats and about 10-12 Senate seats.
The black vote alone is like being spotted 10 points the race to 50% in any national race. Arizona is now up to 35% Hispanic, (CA is 40-45% depending on illegals). They vote 70/30 for Dems so that means they are 23 points of the dems votes or a 15 point lead immediately.
In CA, whose demographics once resembled Texas and was the home of Reagan and Nixon and by virtue of being the largest population state, there are 53 House seats! and the Hispanic Population is now about 40-45% and African American 12%.
This demographic shift and resulting voting trend is what is going on in early stages in Nevada, Az, Fl and now Texas. We need to address and not pretend we can win without Hispanics or the entire country will be CA, Illegals do vote and Hispanics have a higher birth rate.
Trump is taking a step in the right direction when he emphasizes jobs for all but we need to do more.
