She conceded. She doesn’t care she’ll get appointed to the McCain seat when Kyl steps down next month to give McSally seniority 

 

I really hated her and wanted her to lose because of how she acted during Obamacare repeal. The story was she stood up and yelled at her gop colleagues “LETS GET THIS FUCKING THING DONE”. I thought who would be so enthusiastic about taking healthcare away from 20 million people.

with that said, she has handled the last week with class and grace. Trump and that nasty bitch ronna McDaniel wanted her to raise a stink so they could push the narrative that democrats are stealing all of these late races. McSally didn’t play along because unlike those 2, she actually understands how Arizona elections work. 

I hope Doug Douchey appoints her to the senate and we go after her in 2020. After seeing the last week or so play out, Arizona could easily find someone much worse than McSally to fill McCain’s seat. I hope she gets appointed to it, but in 2020 it’s game on.

And she'll lose again in 2020 if Dems have a decent candidate.

Especially if Hobbs wins SoS of the state so they don't try and suppress votes with bullsheeeiitttt.

It’ll be a very bad look if she takes that seat after losing. 

Ruben Gallego needs to run. Young, progressive, former Marine.

Wonder what an incumbency advantage she’d get after only two years.

I don't think looking bad worries republicans.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13512]

I agree that AZ voters won't be happy if they voted to NOT put her in the Senate and then she is given a seat free of charge.

In the Senate races didn't at least 5 GOP Senate candidates accept the Trump embrace but their Dem opponents (Sinema, Rosen, Stabenow, Casey and Tester) all won...  I'm confused.

And not just any seat but McCain’s. Cindy didn’t endorse McSally for Flake’s seat, how pissed will she and other McCain loyalists feel about it.

America is in many respects superior to Russia, with exception to trolling.  They are the gold standard. 

It will be interesting to see if these playful provocations continue as sanctions hobble Russia.

Wait wait wait

Pence will be swearing in a bisexual atheist in 2019?

[Voldemort86 2259]

Florida and Georgia outstanding

Florida in recount and Mississippi will have a runoff soon.

What percentage of these need to count, and what margin to Abrams, for a runoff to happen?

[Js1 85347]

They won't get counted. Brian Kemp will say "fuck you, make me." It'll get sent up to SCOTUS who will rule in favor of Kemp 5-4.

[NBMisha 224]

Pretty much all them, for both issues.

If a dude is trying to line up a threesome, why the hell would he want his wife involved?

Poliquin campaign is suing to stop the rank choice voting (after the Election, because boohoo he didn't get 50%)

At some point late last week, didn't see need about 25K votes to push him below 50%.   

[GSU&UT 1798]

It's around 25k still I believe, not a big chance but make it as painful as possible for him. I think I need to get off twitter after seeing all the dog whistles in every thread directed at Abrams and black voters.

[GSU&UT 1798]

This would be an enormous flip. This is a less white but more "rural" district than GA-06.

Also, thank god for SCOTUS ending the preclearance requirement.*  I bet even they are surprised by the level of voter suppression that sprung up immediately on pulling it back.  They apparently assumed people are, at their most fundamental level, good.  One of the classic blunders.

 

 

*sarcasm, if it was not clear.

Until you realize that this judge was thankfully appointed by Obama but this could go the other way with the piles of shit McConnell rammed through.

As someone who favored ending the preclearance requirement, I have to say that I am surprised by the level of voter suppression.

Learned something by watching cable news:  Florida has passed N.Y. in population.   Didn’t know that.

Young Kim sounds like a rapper name.

Is the Cisneros related to the Cisneros from the Clinton administration?
