McSally has no shame. I would be embarrassed to show up in the Senate after losing. What a disgrace these Republicans are.
The RNC is heavily pressuring Ducey to name McSally, but he is resisting the pressure.
I hate the idea of rewarding failure but its not my state.
If it was me I would argue for a completely fresh but known (Locally) conservative face!
Arizona Freepers what say you?
Okay. No McSally. Who can hold the seat in 20? Joe Arpaio and Kelly Ward are sure to lose. Who?
One is a post-election memo her campaign strategists provided to The Washington Post last month, which attributed her defeat in November to external factors. Among them: strong Democratic fundraising, a geographic disadvantage and voter hostility toward President Trump.
The memo sparked outrage inside Ducey’s circle and among broader swaths of influential Republicans, who felt her team did not own up to its strategic mistakes and was trying to deflect blame for her loss to Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema.
The Turtle wants McSally in that spot
and made it very clear a few weeks back.
Sometimes, a political talent can be spotted early.
Sort of like seeing star quality in a young actor.
Go ask Alex about that sort of thing.
I think she’ll know.
From afar, Matt Salmon looks like a good choice. Yeah, I know he just retired from the House two years ago - but he maybe a good placeholder until the next election.
How ‘bout Dave Schweikert, an current member of the House. Again from afar, he looks sufficiently conservative.
And although it wouldn’t happen, for pure entertainment purposes and to also watch Democrats heads explode, how ‘bout JD Hayworth?
McSally is a weak sister. Maybe she has learned her lesson after a poorly run campaign and loss. I doubt it.
In our society failure is rewarded. McSally lost to a Leftist Moonbat and she still will get a Senate seat??/?
I think the governor should respect the will of the voters. They just had their say as to whether they wanted McSally to be their senator, and they rejected her for a far-left liberal who had called them all stupid.
I think it would be a slap in the face to those voters to overrule their choice and put her in.
Surely there must be SOME person under the age of 50 who could do the job of a senator?
It will be a Cheap Labor Express stooge.
Not from AZ so my vote is worthless. That said, what’s wrong with Ward? Another Flake Lite doesn’t seem to be much of an advance.
Kelli Ward.
