How Did Doug Ducey Clobber His Opponent If AZ Is Turning Purple ?

[Sun Devil 92]

Doug Ducey obliterated his opponent 60-40 on election night.

How.

AZ elected a democratic senator.

There has been some analysis done which makes excuses for McSallly's failure to win. Excuses are great. We've heard them from the left for the last two years.

So why bother. ?

The GOP should take note of the analysis and not committ the same mistakes.

There is talk of McSally running again in 2020. She will need a different game plan.

But, given that Ducey walked all over the dems, it seems people should understand that the senate seat that was lost was winnable.

The simple answer is that most people are not as black and white as the hyperpartisans in this board.

The straight line party voter is a relic of the past, thank goodness.

Take Missouri for example. They ousted a Dem senator for a Repub but at the same time approved 3 very liberal ballot initiatives

It shows you (if you are the loser) that you should have won.

It tells you that you had better check your messaging and methods if you want to try it again.

Well, it seems that the democrats really don't have an answer for this one.

AZ isn't turning purple.

But the GOP is a mess....if they pull it together....McSally would be in the senate in 2020 and Sienema will be gone in six years.

Losing the suburbs, the college educated and getting your ass kicked by the women vote...


All the while farther retreating to the lower educated white rural voter....


2020 will be another Blue year.

Ducey lost the suburbs ?

He kicked his opponents ass 60:40.

McSally loses a close race.

There are not that many uneducated rural white voters in AZ.

There are a lot of mexican american dupes though.

So, what about Katie Hobbs?

 

[peach174]

Something just doesn't smell right here with Sinema winning.
We have more registered R's here than Dems. in this State.

 

[leftwinger]

Sally was anti-Trump at one point I had heard on USMB. Anti-Levin also. another flake? Or flake influenced her mushy arse?

AZ has elected democrats before.

Bruce Babbit.

Napolitano.

Dennis Diconcinni

This list is long.

All of have been moderates.

Sinema won't be. She also won't be re-elected.

It just depends what district it is in Arizona. Colorado this year has gone totally blue--formerly a red state that then went purple & now blue because Trump is toxic here. Anyone who had an R behind their name was taken out in competitive districts--but we still have a few Republican counties left--that are slowly changing purple.

Arizona is the same. Hispanics came out to vote like never before. Kristen Sinema--the Democrat that won this seat praised John McCain. Obviously Sinema is a blue dog Democrat who knew how to win a statewide election, while McSally stood behind Trump--and is the reason she lost. It was a war between the Republican Suburbanites against the Republican ruralites all across this country. Republicans were bleeding house seats everywhere west of the Mississippi.. The Republican suburbanites won.

That's the difference. While someone may be able to hold onto their congressional district they can't win in a statewide election. We see that often in every state. Center rules this nation as it does in many states.

The longer Trump is in office, the bluer this country will get.

McSally's ads reminded me of Hillary's in their "don't vote for that other (bad) person" approach.

Sinema was only one of two Democrats that voted for Trump's tax reform. She has also gathered a lot of respect over the years from veterans for her work in addressing the problems at the VA.

As far as Doug Ducey goes, he has been a good governor. Dave Garcia didn't stand a chance and seemed to know it. He really didn't put up a battle.

Which totally flies in the face of the fact that Ducey totally massacred his oppoenent.

Try again.

And Sinema isn't a blue dog.

Republicans were voting for Democrats all over this country last Tuesday night. I don't know what new's your watching but it was a war between moderate Republicans living in big cities--and the suburbs against right wing Republicans living in rural areas. Republicans were bleeding house seats in Republican districts west of the Mississippi. It was brilliant. The DNC put up moderate Democrats--the JFK"s of the party aka blue dog Democrats that can appeal to moderate Republicans and it worked.

Plus the turnout was astounding for a midterm election. Young people voted, blacks, hispanic's and women literally kicked ass adding 100 more women to congress and more senate seats. Independents the largest voting block in this country, went for Trump by 4 in 2016, he lost by 17 points in 2018. Women, including Republican women choose Democrats over Republicans by a whopping 67%.

Who would have ever guessed that Ted Cruz in deep red Texas came that close to losing to a liberal Democrat? If the DNC would have put up a more moderate Democrat, Ted Cruz himself would be looking for a new job today.

So Arizona is no surprise. This midterm was a complete condemnation of Donald Trump. It's historic. No President has ever lost these many seats with an unemployment rate of only 3.7%.
