After doing a little research on McSally and watching her concession speech she is not a fighter. McSally is a total RINO. McSally falls in the mold of McCain, Flake, Romney, and Murkowski. McSally would have been a problem.

So now AZ gets to send another nut case to DC. This will provide more of a contrast between the senate Dems and Reps and will help to energize the Rep base IMO. I know 6 years is a long way away but AZ should produce a better GOP candidate by then. In the meantime there will be one less senate RINO blurring the political lines between parties.

We knew this in the primary.

Squishy RINOs got stomped this election, and she is one of them.

People hate weakness.

If you are going to go down go down fighting.

I'm not looking it as a consolation prize. I'm just trying to find the silver lining.

You are welcomed to find you own personal comfort where you can, but any RINO is better than any liberal 99.8% of the time.

some of the folks ran her voting numbers and it showed that she voted with conservatives around 65% of the time....if true, the nutcase is no worse than mcshitstain and flakey and we know where she stands, most likely

She is a RINO, but she will be appointed to McCain’s vacant seat.

Can’t, unless Kyl resigns.

I think Kyl has said he is staying through the 2020 special election.

Explains why she struggled with votes. AZ GOP rode the wrong horse. A MAGA candidate would have blitzed Sinema.

Absolutely, and the moderates have made weakness a virtue.

Arizona is the worst excuse for a Red State. Think about the Republicans the elect and how they mirror the Dems they elect. No wonder 40% of the drugs that come into the U.S. come through Arizona. They could care less. If they did, the Republicans would run a real Republican who is for border control, law and order and actually for building the wall. But instead they send us Jeff Flake, John McCain and a bunch of panty waste RINO's.

I heard that Kyl may be ready to go in a few weeks and that McSally could be his replacement.

Nah. A RINO Rep. that votes with the Republicans the majority of the time is still better than a Dem that will never vote with them at all.

No easier way to lose a seat than to hand it to someone who couldn’t win last week.

McSally probably lost due to fraud but it was close enough for that to happen due to bullshite of her own making. I don’t see putting her in the McCain seat magically fixing that come 2020.
