That’s true, if she is confirmed prior to the innaugurations in January, she becomes the Sr Senatory from AZ...with a JR Senator she just lost to.... Its hard to see a calculus where the delegation from AZ will ever put AZ first.. and not just petty squabble between each other....

But what do I know about human nature?

I guess he could've made a worse choice, still, given the recent state political history of McLame, Flake, Kristen Enema, you have to wonder if sunstroke or lunacy affect the entire population of the state.

Why McSally? We need someone who can win.

Lose to a Leftist Moonbat.

Severely under perform all the other statewide GOP candidates.

Finding out you are appointed to a Senate seat.

PRICELESS!!

I salute her service just like anyone who was in the military.

But, that has nothing to do with how they are politically. McCain was in the military. Kerry, Algore etc.

Good! She’s as conservative as we will ever expect to see from Arizona and more Republicans voted for her to become Senator than any other Republican. Twice.

As for how she lost to Enema, ask the Democrats. Same ones who voted for McTurd.

Sinema won because Maricopa County has a hard core Leftist as it’s Country Recorder. Ballot-harvesting (illegal), opening voting centers [in Dem areas] the weekend before the election (illegal), and counting mail-in votes when the signatures don’t match (illegal) are the reasons that Sinema won. I was pretty worried when Pelousi was cocksure the Dems would take the House.....and now we know why she was cocksure. Dem voter fraud, all across the USA. Sinema was recently (within the last decade) an outspoken Communist, but you didn’t see THAT in the ads against her.

It was easy to concede when she was going to get the job anyway.

I really don’t get the hate on this. Everyone loved her before, but now because she lost she’s a bad choice?

Good candidates can still lose elections, especially in this environment. I don’t blame her.

Sinema was excellent at hiding who she was, and no matter what McSally did, it just didn’t get through.

I love this since it really sticks it to the Democrats. Ultimately, she will be very hard to beat next time because of incumbancy.

I thought I read the other day that the McCain’s did not care for McSally?

I’ve heard that McSally is a RINO, which should’ve been right down McLame’s alley, but toward the end, I don’t think the brain damaged McLame cared for anyone. He [wrongfully] thought so highly of himself that no one could measure up.

So the voters send a clear message: we don’t want her and they put her in a month later. Democracy alive and well in Arizona

Not that red. There are substantial pockets of blue in the state.
