She supported Trump’s national emergency declaration to bypass Congress in order to get funds to build his border wall.“We didn’t get a chance for (voters) to get to know me, what I’ve done all my life, what I did in the House,” McSally told reporters on Tuesday. And we weren’t defined and resilient enough.”But we haven’t seen that McSally in a long while.It should be clear to McSally that a campaign chiefly consisting of kissing up to President Trump may win you a primary, but it'll cost you an election. No, she lost because of Trump Opinion: Arizona's appointed senator is engaged in wishful thinking about last year's Senate race and if … Where she once touted doable solutions to actually fix our immigration system, McSally became joined at the hip with a president more interested in stoking fear and stirring up the base than in solving problems.Arizona’s appointed senator on Tuesday chalked up her loss to Democrat Kyrsten Sinema to one major factor: time.As in, too little of it between the primary election and general elections.At least moderate Republican women and independents thought so. She dumped on her own party, and it was an exceedingly good look.It wasn’t that she wasn’t well enough defined for general-election voters. It seemed performative and needlessly rude, especially when she went on Fox News with Laura Ingraham to take a victory lap.And in 2018, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema defeated McSally by a little more than 2 points.Raw Story is independent.
Meghan Keneally. Now, McSally will join the Senate the same day that Sinema is sworn in. Democrats, with Mark Kelly as their candidate, are licking their lips at the prospect of snagging a second Senate seat in Arizona.After Jeff Flake bowed out, the congresswoman who represented the state’s most competitive district – a moderate who had kept her distance from Trump – overnight became the president’s most enthusiastic supporter.Instead, Arizona's appointed senator figures if she just has more time, those moderates and independents will come around and do in 2020 that which they declined to do in 2018.And in her first year as a senator, nothing much has changed.Where she once sponsored a bill offering citizenship to DACA students – the ones she said were brought here “at no fault of her own” – suddenly she opposed that plan.Given today’s Republican Party, McSally had to take a hard-right lurch to win the primary over the far-right MAGA queen, Kelli Ward.She asked her colleagues to remove her name from the bill and quietly removed a video of herself calling on Congress to exercise compassion and provide that pathway to citizenship to DACA.The problem wasn’t that McSally didn’t have the time to tell her story.
Or possibly two elections.McSally doesn't need more time for her campaign. Curiously, some pollsters still call the race a toss-up, even the Kelly seems clearly favored.In 2016, of course, Trump won Arizona by about 4 points. By.
It’s that she fundamentally changed her story.She passed up an opportunity to join with six other Republicans and Democrats in voting for the House-passed plan to declare a temporary truce with Trump and end the government shutdown. Once upon a time, McSally would have been the Democrats' worst nightmare, a moderate Republican who could appeal to voters in the middle, the ones who are sick to death of partisan trench warfare. The sad and pitiful case of Republican Martha McSally If the newest poll of the 2020 Arizona Senate race is accurate, Republican Sen. Martha McSally … And while attacking CNN can play well with the Trump base, the incident did not cast McSally in a good light. Doug Ducey and Sinema.Martha McSally still hasn’t figured out why she lost last year’s election. She needs less Trump.McSally seems to think that had she just had another few weeks in the general-election race, she wouldn’t hold the distinction of being the first Arizona Republican to lose a U.S. Senate race in 30 years.But McSally continued her embrace of Trump during a general election campaign that should have been all about attracting independents and buttoning up moderate Republican women who saw Trump as a total turnoff.It’s strange really.
