This state hasn’t been red in over a decade. That game is over.
Bingo. Wait for it. It’s coming.
This doesn't make sense. If it hasn't been red for over a decade then why would people have to wait? Isn't it already blue?

For over a decade? lol You wouldn't know the truth if it landed at your feet.
McSally got appointed to a Senate seat after her embarrassment of a performance against Sinema. Many conservatives are very concerned about a 2nd McSally loss in 2020.
Many conservatives are more concerned about what's going on in Texas than in Arizona. Mitt Romey won Texas by 16% in 2012, and he was a weak candidate. In 2016, Trump only won Texas by 9.2%. Con man Robert O'Rourke came within 2.7% of defeating the generally unlikable Ted Cruz. However, Governor Greg Abbott was re-elected by 10%+. It's not easy to tell how blue Texas is going, but it is getting more blue. Donald Trump is not a popular person in Texas.
There is some similarity between Texas and Arizona, but it would be a stretch to say that Arizona is a smaller version of Texas. Both are border states and have large Hispanic populations. Both have large cities and wide expanses of open spaces. Arizona attracts more retirees. Texas has a stronger business inclination with more corporate HQs.
I wouldn't worry to much about McSally. All indications are Mark Kelly will take her to the cleaners, which is especially tasty considering the bulk of her prior Senate run was predicated on her being a hot-shot fighter pilot.
Space Shuttle pilot>Fairchild A-10 Thunderbolt (a.k.a. The Wort Hog) pilot if that sort of thing matters.

I would prefer it if McSally won. 2 Dem senators in AZ is an embarrassment.

To you, it's an embarrassment to you. I for one who have lived here 19 years am glad that the Republicans Reign of Terror in this state is finally ending

I left Arizona. I prefer seeing Republicans in office anywhere. Democrats will turn Arizona into another California. The only good thing that would come from that is slowing down the inane growth in Arizona through strangling economic regulation and high taxation.

Hyperbole^
Republicans are only good if you're rich or a bigot

Hyberbole.
Republicans do more for the poor than Democrats, who perpetually enslave the poor in poverty. Handouts do not help poor people improve their lot in life. I support conservative principles because I care for poor people and wish to help poor people. No other system in human history has lifted more people out of poverty than capitalism. The socialistic and communistic principles supported by mainstream Democratic Party members have done nothing for the wealth of nations except reduce it. The average person is worse off under a heavy handed government that provides handouts and disincentivizes economic growth and employment through regulation and taxation. Poor people, and all people, are best under an economic system that promotes freedom, that limits government interference in the macroeconomy, and that limits the taxation burden upon the private sector. A healthy private sector incentivizes employment and raising the standard of living for the average person.

Well, since they own just about everything and are in command of the paychecks going out from most businesses, that means Republican rich bigots own everyone, and they care less what anyone thinks of them because, y'know.. more. money. buys. better. stuff.

LOL, ROFLMAO.
Really? Look at Mississsippi, Alabama, Louisiana - all Republican run - andwith high poverty rates.
The other states like to say, "Thank God for Mississippi" - in reference that they're not dead last in most quality of life measures.
