McSally emerges as potential replacement for Kyl in Senate
WXYZ ^

Posted on 11/14/2018 9:29:48 AM PST by SMGFan

For Rep. Martha McSally, there may be another way to get to the Senate: an appointment.

A day after the Arizona Republican conceded her Senate campaign to Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, the state's other senator, Jon Kyl, told CNN on Tuesday he has decided whether to leave office before his term ends at the end of next year. He wouldn't reveal his decision, but said he will talk to Gov. Doug Ducey about it.

He also praised McSally, who once worked on his staff as a national security adviser, when asked about her as a potential replacement if he resigns.

Well, Romney needs a sidekick for his “get rid of Trump” jihad, McSally should be perfect.

What a terrible idea. Lets appoint someone who can’t win and the voters rejected in lieu of a crazy Anti American Marxist. Who hell is the brain trust who comes up with this crap.

Martha McSally, you just got your arse locked in a Senate race where a GOP govenor won and finished 10 points higher than you, what are you going to do?

I’m going to Disney and then the Senate! Cause, you know, I’ll win next time or something.

Hopefully not. McSally got 180K votes less than Rep Governor Ducey. McSally was a flawed candidate. Why give her a leg up on the 2022 race? She underperformed.

I have far too many comments about McCain for now ... BUT ... as far as Flake, he’s the acumen of the earth. The last shot with congratulations to Ms. Taliban just drove the point home.

Not McSally. What about former Gov. Jan Brewer?

more than 1 million voters approve of McSally
**********************************************
Ahh....not good enough! The 48% that McSally got wasn’t good enough and was actually PATHETIC given that Ducey managed to pull in 56.4% in the same election.

McSally had her shot and FAILED us...time to move on. Move on to Kelli Ward.

So one candidate runs as a hard left anti-Trump radical, the other as an anti-Trump moderate and both get to win. Thanks, Arizona. Hope you enjoy gun confiscation and double digit unemployment with the Dems manage to get Trump tossed and leftist running the show and picking judges.

This is the disaster scenario. McSally was an awful candidate giving the democrats one of Arizona’s Senate seats. Then she’s appointed to the other seat even though she’s an anti-Trump, McCain loving Rino who will do nothing but obstruct in the Senate the same way Flake and McCain did? Now way. She would be a double-agent just like them. Notice she didn’t fight for this seat in the least and immediately and meekly submitted to the theft of the election by the left.

The only good thing about McSally losing is the fact that it was McSally who lost.

A RINO is worse than a democrat.

With a Democrat you know what to expect.

A RINO gets you to keep Obamacare, when you thought they were against it.

Like John Mc$hit4brains the ‘maverick’. He was so stupid that he thought they were comparing him to Maverick from the top gun movie. In reality they knew he was easily swayed by flattery and pretended to respect him so he would ‘reach across the aisle’.

Notice how democrats never reach back?

Step up Arizona. Find us another Goldwater. Might I suggest J.D. Hayworth to nullify any vote by your newly elected, Taliban supporter who hates your meth lab state atmosphere. McSalley cannot be trusted to vote conservative since she is a warmed over McCain and Flake look alike.

She’s a loser. She couldn’t beat a Taliban supporter in Arizona. She can’t win in 2020 against a real candidate.

She wasn’t in it to win it. She was in it not to lose it. She lost. Then she gave up without a fight. She’s not a viable candidate for 2020. Get a real conservative and someone who will have what it takes to convince people to vote for her rather than against her opponent.

McInsane ran the Arizona GOP and they are dancing to his tune from the grave. You will not get a reliable conservative Republican from that state for many years. Liberals are liberals whether they have a (D) or an (R) in front of their names. They stick together no matter what for a leftist cause.

A McSally who is electable would be better than a Ward who might not be. If you haven’t noticed, Arizona doesn’t much like actual conservatives, just the McTurd kind.
