The Arizona Senate Race is Over: Democrat Kyrsten Sinema Wins.
- The Associated Press on Monday declared Ms. Sinema the winner over Republican Rep. Martha McSally following a tight race that took about a week to produce a winner.
- Ms. Sinema, 42 years old, campaigned as a conservative Democrat after beginning her political career as a firebrand liberal employed by Ralph Nader’s 2000 Green Party presidential campaign.
- She will become the first openly bisexual member of the U.S. Senate when she takes office in January. When she was first elected to Congress in 2012, she was the first member to list her religion as “none.”
I am convinced Sinema won fair and square. I have no such convictions about Florida where fraud, corruption, and ineptitude seem rampant.
Her sexual or religious preferences do not matter one bit to me.
If she truly is a fiscal conservative, she will be better than the fake conservative warmongering hypocrite Republicans like Senator McCain.
We will find out.
Mike “Mish” Shedlock
Heritage Americans (i.e., those who were born in the USA before 1965 or whose parents were citizens prior to that) have no party.
The Dems are the party of Resource Extraction (affirmative action, welfare–both corporate and couch-sitter on behalf of increasingly useless eaters, so they’re increasingly the Get Whitey party) and the party of disenfranchising Heritage Americans by diluting them to irrelevance by Third World Immigration.
The Republicans are simply the Dem-Lite party, going to hell in a handbasket just a bit slower (please.)
None of this kabuki theater will matter until the markets tank. THEN it will matter.. Bigly. The USA is one debt-volcano eruption from a French Revolution (and following Terror.)
Anybody starting to see a pattern here?
New Mexico has many voters who have been given birthright citizenship despite being children of illegal immigrants.
Birthright citizenship needs to be stopped since there is no basis for that and it has been based just on a faulty interpretation of the law and personal opinion of one leftist Supreme Court justice William Brennan who in 1982 slipped his personal opinion as part of a Supreme Court ruling with NO decision being made in that case regarding birthright citizenship to children of illegals by the whole Supreme Court and existing birthright citizenships need to be declared invalid.
This is an EXISTENTIAL THREAT to Republicans and to American form of government.
As Elmer Fudd would say, “Someting wooks a widdle scewie here”:
Why did Republican McSally concede while votes are still being counted?
Sinema comes across as completely fake, a true politician who will say anything to be elected. The sliminess oozes from her.
That said, McSally was a total MIC whore. The people of AZ were going to lose either way, and for some reason have a history of choosing poor candidates, even by modern American standards.
Sinema called her own State the “meth lab of politics” because it wasn’t leftist enough for her…But you think she’s a conservative Democrat?
Speaking as a resident and voter in southern AZ (and formerly Chicago) the race in AZ was in-your-face stolen, Chicago style..First, the democratic officials don’t count any votes for a day or two, then they round up a bunch of provisional votes from illegal aliens, or teenagers, or no one, and see if the Republicans do anything about it. If not, they declare victory…Ducie won the Governor’s race against a hispanic opponent by 17%, but McSally, right next to him on the ticket, lost???? Get real, Mish.
Sore loser, LOL. Nobody credible believes anything like that.
Republican McSally is incompetent politician since she conceded while votes were still being counted and there was hundreds of thousands of votes uncounted while she conceded.
How many kids of illegal immigrants who got birthright citizenship and have turned 18 and vote there are in Arizona?
I am guessing hundreds of thousands.
All states with large numbers of illegal immigrants will go the way of California and now Arizona unless birthright citizenship is stopped.
Just about every economic dump of a red state would do well to “go the way of California,” the 5th biggest economy in the world.
California’s success was created way before it was a blue state. The foundation of that states success was “set up” back when it was a red state (Hollywood in the 20’s, Silicon Valley in the 50’s, state university system, etc…). Despite having the best weather, mountains, beaches, etc… in the entire USA….. CA loses TON’s of domestic migration to your so called “dump of a red state”. Those “dump of a red state” like Utah, Idaho, Texas, NC, SC, FL, TN….are all booming economically and Californians are flocking to those states in droves to escape CA taxes, high house prices, millions of illegals, crappy public schools. and steadily lowering quality of life.
Give it some time, the LIB’s will turn CA into another IL or CT, etc…states that are losing population and raising taxes.
California is insolvent with a defunct educational system, lots of white flight, and enormous debts. Arizona isn’t…
Similarly, we had a democrat voted govenor voted in Kansas. Brownback left such a bad name for republicans that even most of the diehard republicans out here in rural areas, including farmers, couldn’t fathom putting in his replacement and jumped party lines. Now they are complaining that Trump hired Brownback. At this rate, the 2020 election will be titled “give it to HIllary why dont you”.
Kris Kobach also ran a completely incompetent campaign:
Who is so freaking stupid as to campaign with a replica machine gun mounted on a jeep making sure to turn off all independent voters? Kris Kobach:
The Evil Party or the Stupid Party? Pick your poison. Repubs have a horrible track record for picking crappy candidates, sometimes almost as bad as the dems.
“… campaigned as a conservative Democrat …” That’s called camouflage. Ask Alinsky. In the Veritas video, her staffers said she has what amounts to a Five Year Plan; in 2022 she’ll be running on abolishing the 1st and 2nd Amendments, and probably the 3rd, 4th & 5th, because the equatorial 3rd world Invaders – errr – friendly immigrants – won’t need any of that stuff for their cultural enrichment and low trust “Saguaro Republic”.
Wasn’t she elected for a 6-year term therefore she will represent Arizona until 2024.
Liberal CA transplants and hispanics are what is turning AZ blue (as they to CO & WA, and are in the process to doing to TX).
Birthright citizenship is a large part of turning Arizona, Colorado, Texas etc. blue since new kids of illegals are born every year and get birthright citizenships and those born 18 years before turn 18 every year and vote Democrats with their birthright citizenship.
Mish,
So how does this work exactly…?
I am a firebrand liberal for open borders, bigger government, bigger welfare payments, socialized medicine, health care for all, more and more government, etc., etc., etc.
But, wait, I am a fiscal conservative too!
Yeah – you can’t be both.
Arizona voters voted for more illegal immigrants in Arizona, Arizona voters voted for more sanctuary city policies where criminal illegal immigrants are released back to Arizona streets instead of being deported, Arizona voters voted for lower wages for Kansas workers because illegal immigrants lower wages.
One reason for this voting is undoubtedly that the local media in Arizona does not talk about these issues and tell all the facts but instead parrot Democrat talking points.
There should be more competition in Arizona media market and Republican billionaires should fund a local media alternative for establishment media in Arizona that would tell all the facts instead of parroting Democrat talking points.
Kansas has a similar situation media wise to Arizona where Kansas establishment media just repeat Democrat talking points like parrots.
If Mish is really a Libertarian as he claims, it seems he did not do much homework checking out Sinema, because it is difficult to see how a Libertarian could like a Big Government Progressive. As for open borders, the actual Libertarian position is open borders would be OK IF there was no extremely generous welfare system here to attract all of the Third World.
If Sinema replaces Flake — surely that counts as the Democrats retaining the seat?
One can say that Flake was almost like a Democrat however Flake eventually voted for Trump’s Supreme court nominees whereas Sinema would have been with the Democrat mob calling the Trump Supreme court nominee a gang rapist without any proof.
Based on Kyrsten Sinema winning in Arizona I have to say that I agree with one previous Kyrsten Sinema statement:
Arizona really is the meth lab of American politics.
… as she says: “Here. Hold my beer!”
Republicans (And Mish Shedlock, Republican patsy) fan unfounded worries about voter fraud in Florida and other close contests
You know that the Washington Post is propaganda.
” FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Lawyers for Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson on Monday filed a federal lawsuit that claims Florida is disenfranchising voters by not counting mail-in ballots it received after Election Day.
Democrats will cheat any way possible.
As a non-voter residing in Maricopa County, AZ, I knew nothing about McSally nor Sinema. Neither could be worse than McCain, partly because neither has a national following. However, it is Jeff Flake whom Sinema is replacing. McCain has been (or will be) replaced by former Senator Jon Kyl.
Jeff Flake was my representative before winning his Senate seat. He was very good on Federal spending and other issues. But when he got the Senate, he chained himself to McCain so now they’re both dead, one politically, the other literally.
She is a wannabe career politician. The odds are against her.
Like Mitch McConnell? Brain dead and in the senate for the last 34 years. I would say her odds are good.
Right wing using impressionable stooges like Mish Shedlock to parrot inflammatory, unsubstantiated fraud claims. There are “0” credible claims of ANY fraud whatsoever.
“Fla. Judge Calls Out Fraud ‘Rhetoric’;”
Mish may be a stooge, but he’s far from impressionable. The truth is the law was broken in FL, but when did Nelson or any other Democrat care about the rule of law?
What could be worse – a career politician and a Socialist want to represent and run the state of Florida, and the vote is close enough that fraudsters have an affect.
For God’s sake, Crooked Hillary wants to run again, and half the country would vote for her. Any wonder why we are headed for another Civil War?
The market ticker… god, Carl Denninger and his obscene rants full of sodomy imagery. Can’t believe anyone takes that guy seriously.
“The market ticker… god,…Can’t believe anyone takes that guy seriously.”
Karl has the facts on his side. Facts matter.
Karl Denninger: “Broward Couny has long been the seat of election corruption. The SOE there was implicated by a judge — not just partisan political candidates — in a long series of criminal violations of Florida law, including ballot destruction long before the period of time for retention had run that made inspection of the results of a race impossible.”
