Not looking good for McSally (Congress: buy, lawsuit, office)

Among those companies is the technology company Tencent, which invested in Kelly’s World View Enterprises and has become the focal point of GOP attacks against the presumptive Democratic nominee.

McSally had between $18,000 and $95,000 invested in the four mutual funds. Those funds have investments in a handful of of Chinese companies: e-commerce giant Alibaba; entertainment and technology conglomerate Tencent; Ping An Insurance; AIA Group, a Hong Kong-based life insurance company; JD.com, an e-commerce company; NetEase, a technology company; China Construction Bank Corp; China Mengniu Dairy; and Chinese government bonds.

The Senate’s financial disclosure rules require only that candidates report which of several dollar ranges their investments fall into, not specific amounts.

McSally sold off those investments last year, campaign manager Dylan Lefler told the Mirror.

additionally, I heard she ate egg rolls a few weeks ago, so that pretty much ties her to China too..

I'm sorry but if your number 1 attack on your opponent is he benefited financially from China your house better be clean or else you look like a hypocrite.

I'm not saying Kelly's nose is clean. But after watching Sally for the past two years be nothing but a Trump puppet I've had enough my vote goes to Kelly.

Yeah, I thought it was something different.
Owning mutual funds that then buy stocks in Chinese companies is not really "interests in China" unless she is directly involved in advising the fund managers on what to buy.
McSally has enough issues on her own without having to stretch it to what stocks are in her mutual funds.

Geez, I get the idea that McSally could be a dead person and would still get the vote of some people just because they are irrationally convinced Kelly is a "gun grabber". Pretty pathetic that they have such a low bar for a candidate. It goes a long ways towards explaining how someone who runs like a "dry creek" is on the republican ballot. If McSally wins it shows there are a lot of paranoid folks in Arizona.

McSally is a Trump clone, she will do whatever he says, and she will do nothing to protect Medicare, no matter how much she swears during the campaign that she will protect it. Side issue, the same goes for Debby Lesko who worked for decades for some of the wealthiest people in the country (Koch brothers, ALEC, etc) who have a blinding hatred for New Deal programs like Social Security and Great Society programs like Medicare. Both of these pols will sell us down the river in a heartbeat to please their masters.

This should worry every senior here in AZ and those who've paid into Medicare and Social Security all their working lives and have, or expect to have, these programs there for them when they do retire. It's our money and we need to protect these programs we paid into and that serve us well. I'm pleased with the services I get under Medicare and wish to make no cuts. All that being said it does not look good for McSally as far as my vote goes, in fact, I've already donated to Mark Kelly and hope he prevails.

I just have to reiterate how critical this is for all of us seniors and those under 65 who are still working and paying into Medicare and Social Security. All of us have every right to the benefits these programs provide and for which we paid for via payroll withholding. We need to elect Kelly to assure our interests are protected and we need to elect DEMs to the House of Reps as well. For decades, presidents and congresses gave us their solemn promises that these programs are sacred and will be protected but now one party, backed by a set of greedy billionaires, wants our money for themselves.

"proposed" budget, and the one that gets passed are never one and the same...

Can you please post the EXACT PLACE, AND QUOTE that you saw where Trump says SPECIFICALLY that he is cutting Social Security and Medicare?

[hikernut]

Trump said he will eliminate the payroll tax, if re-elected. That’s what pays most of the tab for those programs. I’m pretty good at reading between the lines. I suppose some folks will choose not to look there?

Now, whether he could pull it off is another matter, but the intent is pretty clear.

[wase4711]

the only thing I saw, was he was trying to eliminate the payroll tax for THE NEXT 3 MONTHS, NOT FOREVER

please provide link to where he said he is going to eliminate the payroll tax permanently..
