Elect/appoint Kelly Ward.

[dfwgator]

No retreads, her time has passed.

[Ted Grant]

Why?

[Alberta's Child]

Why would any competent GOP governor appoint a Senator who just lost a Senate election?

[snarkytart]

nobody wants her now. find someone else.

[wiseprince]

Nope, she’d just lose the seat in two years without a fight. Exit Left McSally. If you want to be a Senator call out the fraud.

[chris37]

No thank you.

No need for her or anyone like her.

[DIRTYSECRET]

She conceded. I’d prefer a fighter-pun intended.

[dfwgator]

Do you really want somebody who it even was close with Sinema, much less lose to her?

She’s a failure, move on.

[rdcbn]

McSally was the best candidate in this election, but she is not the best choice for Ducey to appoint to McCains old seat.

[Alberta's Child]

Reason #745 why McSally lost:

She looks like Duane Allman in drag.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Arizona needs a Conservative. Not another McQueeg-Flake phony.

[Blue Highway]

Kelli Ward not this RINO!

[vette6387]

“McSally was the best candidate in this election’

How do you figure that when she lost? The Best Candidate would have won the seat. Instead, AZ has elected an Enema!

[Mr Rogers]

No! Already debated here:

[Mr Ramsbotham]

... listed three reasons why Sinema was able to eek out a win ....

What is she, a mouse?

[azishot]

More than one million Arizona voters wanted to see the former fighter-pilot-turned-southern-Arizona congresswoman in the Senate.

I would say that "more than one million Arizona voters" wanted Sinema to lose. It just so happened that the republican nominee was McSally.

[bigbob]

You miss the point: Arizona voters don’t want her. Spare me the conspiracy theories about vote theft unless you can PROVE IT. The fact is, Arizona has NEVER been solidly red, just look at the long and sad legacy of John McTurd and how many times it’s been asked on FR “Why do Arizonans keep re-electing him?”.

The answer is, Arizona is OK with moderates for sure, and doesn’t mind the occasional liberal either. McSally knew this and gambled and lost, that’s why she refused to go on Levin’s show and align herself more fully with Trump and conservative positions.

People need to accept the reality that many states are a lot bluer or more purplish now than they’d like to think. Trump won by appealling to many of them, but far too few Congressional candidates realize that, and NONE are anywhere near having a Trump-like presence.

That’s the lesson that our side needs to learn. Quickly.

Oh great, then there would be two libs in the senate from AZ
