At the heart of McSally's message is an attempt to nationalize her race, trying to convince voters in her traditionally"red" state to see the contest from a vastly larger perspective. To hear the senator tell it, this isn't just a contest about two candidates, or even a campaign about Arizona's specific needs. Rather, voters should elect her in order to maintain a Republican majority in the Senate.
And why should that be a principal public priority? Because as McSally sees it, a Democratic majority would lead more Americans to have representation in Congress -- an outcome the Arizonan apparently believes would be a disaster for her political party. The list of problems with such a posture is not short. For example, senators generally don't base their appeal on denying Americans a voice on Capitol Hill.
What's more, her assumptions are at odds with available evidence: Puerto Ricans have elected a Republican governor, and the island's current delegate to Congress is Jenniffer Gonzalez -- a Republican. For that matter, even if we assumed Democrats would grant statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico, and even if we assumed they collectively sent four Democratic senators to the Hill, that still wouldn't necessarily mean that Republicans would"never" be able to achieve a majority. The GOP has had five-seat majoritiesBut let's also not miss the forest for the trees.
MaddowBlog Wacky!
MaddowBlog Your network is a joke!
MaddowBlog God forbid. These same senators would not vote for the hero act.
MaddowBlog Republicans would have to worry about it if not run off cliff chasing trump. He might give them a bad tweet. They are pathetic. They made the bed time to lay in it....
MaddowBlog Trumpette
MaddowBlog Horrible comments from a horrible appointed senator.
MaddowBlog TrumpIsACompleteFailure and GOP supporting all his corrupt and non-democratic actions might be the main reason that Republicans will be down for longer. But I agree: when more Americans vote in their proper interest (Democracy!!) Republicans are out.
MaddowBlog Let’s be clear about the REAL reason — far too many people of color would get representation if DC and Puerto Rico become states.
DavidW_340 MaddowBlog Very nasty GOP STUPIDITY lady!
MaddowBlog McSally, nonelected pompous lackey.
MaddowBlog She openly admitted that the GOP is corrupt, supports further corruption, can’t run on its record or policies, and can only win elections by cheating.
MaddowBlog Cannon Hinnant
MaddowBlog Amazon can ensure ballots arrive on time. 3 days b4 election, set up drop off spots & deliver ballots n LOCKED boxes every night to the election hub. It would give Americans comfort knowing ballots r delivered & counted. Mr. Bezos please help!! JeffBezos JoeBiden
MaddowBlog They’ve known this for decades, but only recently felt empowered enough to talk about it openly. Next, they’ll admit how they all sit back and laugh at “us” for ‘believing’ the trickledown lie.
MaddowBlog I like that though 4 new senators from 2 new states DC and PR! Lets do it dems
MaddowBlog McSally, the disaster is already here and YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM, so you can resign and appoint a Democrat or just go on a long cruise and unexpectedly fall overboard just like Natalie Wood; just make sure Robert Wagner is on board before setting sail. 🚢
MaddowBlog She's toast.
MaddowBlog LIARS at are Nervous. They keep predicting doom for Republicans whenever they are afraid that their FakeNewsMedia Lies are NOT Working. They are Bashing Sen. McSally because she is a Woman. Bullshit News Media
MaddowBlog Please DoTheRightThing Arizona: Vote McSally out
MaddowBlog She will be defeated. No worries about her. We understand perfectly.
MaddowBlog Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag!!! MarthaMcSally When ALL women and men are recognized as equal and we stop spending government money based on skin color.... Your right the gop is F*cked. ananavarro TheRickWilson JoyceWhiteVance VanJones68 Alyssa_Milano
MaddowBlog Mcsally sounds like a racist.
MaddowBlog Just a correction on your note: “Puerto Ricans have elected a Republican governor” is a mistake. The Governor was not elected by puertorricans. She got the job as a constitutional succession when the Democratic Governor that was elected had te resign to to corruption.
MaddowBlog “The Democrats will let black people and Puerto Ricans vote! We can’t have that. We’ll never win again if we let everyone have a vote”
MaddowBlog Check it out!: I Will create professional logo animation and intro outro videos
MaddowBlog Bye Bye Martha SenMcSallyAZ . CaptMarkKelly is the next senator from the GRAND CANYON STATE!
MaddowBlog shocker... an anti McSally infomercial brought to you by the Maddow Clods
MaddowBlog An 'unfortunate' case? No. An un-democratic case? Yes. An un-American case? Sure. But 'unfortunate' is not the word one should be using.
MaddowBlog Well, the Republicans don't DESERVE the Senate/Congress/White House back ever again. They will never get their own party back again now that it was freely handed over to the tRumpino family. ByeDon
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog The republicans as of now do not deserve the pleasure of serving the American people. Their aiding and abetting of a corrupt president that has been incompetent and shown his negligence of leading the USA can not be tolerated any further. They are a major embarrassment for the US
