Living in AZ, I remember her closings to her campaigns: We're going to win Big! Wouldn't Big have translated to at least 70% of the vote?

I still find it awfully mysterious why the media hasn't cornered her ex-husband for an interview! I would think that interview would be worth a small fortune to him.

I had forgotten about this woman until seeing this thread. Has she finally conceded or is she still crying like the little baby that she is?

She is old news now no matter how hard she tries to keep her name on the front page. Wonder if Arizona Republicans learned anything, or will they continue to attack the voting system in 2024?

Astonishing.

I didn't know that, but if true it would have been an incredibly stupid thing to say.

With a comment like that it seems like she had the warpaint on, sorta like saying "I don't want your support, I don't want to represent your wishes and needs".

That is not how one grows a base of support.

Even Trump had made an appeal in 2016 (disingenuously) "what do you have to lose?" and in one telling "what the hell do you have to lose?"

Well people found out, which is why he lost the next election. But he did make the pretense of reaching out at that time. The following, like Kari Lake, are at war with their neighbors. They are playing winner take all, and calculating that they can do this without reaching out and making any compromises.

It's why they are so find of saying "it's a republic, not a democracy". They are ready and willing to discount the voice of their neighbors. All they need is an excuse to justify it.

They don't want to reach out, and forget any mention of compromise ... not to former Republican independents and especially not to what they consider RINOs and Democrats. They are full of hate for these people, and they are not shy of expressing it.

Of course they will attacking voting systems in 2024. It's in the DNA of Republicans now. The people at Fox News have been revealed as liars, they never believe the stolen election narrative they promoted endlessly. There is an email trail proving they lied for ratings that was revealed in the Diebold law suit.

Will this matter to the Trump folks? That Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity never believed the election was stolen? Nope. They are dug in and no amount of facts will change their mind. And most of those minds formed their opinion based on the words they heard from Fox News, the highest rated "news" program who lies to them.

It's really quite remarkable how so many have been manipulated by their own sources as they rail about the MSM being dishonest. LMAO at all of them.

If Sinema and Gallego split the Left vote, maybe it's possible she would win too:

Only problem with your theory is Sinema has already burned her bridges with the left. She might get some support from independents and never Lakers but she is just a deadman walking with everyone else. It might do you some good to look up thread and find the survey that indicated she is disliked by every demographic that matters in terms of support.

Sinema will win Period. Arizonans like her and she played the Independent card well. Gallego should move back to his native Chicago and hang with Beatle Juice after he loses Nothing is better for AZ than getting rid of a corrupt Chicaga Leftist

Sinema hasn't got a hope in hell of winning. She has no base, no money, and no chance. She blew what could have been a bright political future.

Spoken like a hard core Leftist. If you haven't realized it, we Arizonans are very Independant compared to Leftist states. Sinema fits that role. Gallego is just another Chicago Leftist like Lori Lightfoot. We already have a Racist Govenor and a Drug Cartel Lawyer Secretary of State. Any more like these and we will start to resemble Chicago, Detroit, SF.

This must be why she is polling behind Gallegos and every single Republican candidate right now in a two or three way race.... Because she played the Independent card well.
