Democrats may mock GOP candidates, but who are the unelectable ones now?

Opinion: Democrats loved calling Kari Lake and Blake Masters 'unelectable' in the primary. But they never addressed key issues for voters, to their detriment.Everyone can feel the ground shifting, and it’s not the ripples of a California earthquake. Arizona’s political fault line is rumbling and it’s breaking the Republicans’ way.

For all the summer talk of Republicans choosing bad candidates, the Democrats are the ones with buyer’s remorse. Sen. Mark Kelly hasn’t been much better. With a war chest dwarfing his opponent’s, Kelly inundated the airwaves and internet with endless ads about abortion, abortion and abortion. With 40-year-highs on inflation, sky-high energy prices, a loose border and a likely recession, voters had other issues top of mind.

As the primaries wrapped up, I strongly advised all candidates to talk about issues voters care about. Crazy, I know. The GOP moved on from relitigating 2020 while Democrats stuck to talking points from the primary.this past week listed the top issues for voters. Unsurprisingly, they are inflation, the economy and immigration. Not so coincidentally, these are the top three issues Republican candidates have focused on.

The main problem is media like azcentral have continually 'filled the sails' of cartoon campaigns of MAGA extremists. Many voters are susceptible to the 'credibility' that your self-serving reporting provides. It makes money for azcentral and that explains everything.

And the Republicans were “addressing key issues?” Jesus H Fucking Tapdancing Christ on a Popsicle Stick, lay off the meth, ok?

I would love to see what Kari has to say on the issues but she blocked me on Twitter so I’m in the dark on her. Can you reach out to her and have her unblock me? I am unsure of who to vote for: a dutz of a SOS or a blocking machine.

Key issues never addressed because actually they are run by the Elite Club who wants to Control you. so forget Abortion rights because it will not be your choice in a WEF World Order.

That is a lie. You are siding with insurrectionist that are threatened to use their offices to overturn our elections secede from the United States and do harm to our government.

so standing up for truth and democracy isnt enough? really? wonder how AZ will like going back 100 years and being under fascist and racist leaders? how did maga GOP address those same issues? by lying and gaslifghting...terrible take, truly frightening to see AZ fall

Just more extremist BS from exjon

Gee, a RIGHT leaning publication that’s been labeled as MIXED on its accuracy in reporting because of, ya know, the occasional PROMOTION OF MISINFORMATION are having their water carried by a respectable news outlet. I wonder how “unbiased” this opinion piece is going to be…

Today is October 23rd, 2022 and Joe Biden is the WORST President in US history.

Yes they did...repeatedly. The electorate also needs to take some responsibility to be informed and educated on the issues. Not sure how we got to the point of blaming candidates for ignorant voters, because it's asinine.

Get out and vote!!!!!

Not all, Democrats.

That’s because Hobbs is a 2x convicted racist. who has been hiding and can’t put together a sentence when not off script.

America cannot afford another do nothing Republican Congress like we had under the failed Trump administration. Vote for Mark Kelly, the better choice for Arizona ! SenMarkKelly

thanks for you unbiased opinion

They really did misread the electorate. Kari Lake's focus on an election 2 years ago seems to be the most pressing issue on voters minds. ¯⁠\\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

This is the most bias thing I’ve ever read from a ‘journalist’

Democrats not only called them names, they also contributed to their campaigns, which goes to show you how little they believe their own 'threat to democracy' rhetoric.

Kari Lake vows to serve eight years as governor despite Trump ticket speculationArizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake said Sunday she plans to spend the next eight years as the state's governor, dismissing growing speculation that she might be picked to be former President Donald Trump's 2024 running mate if he runs again.

The MAGA–QAnon takeover of the Republican Party has exposed the sad reality that they’ve clearly become an openly fascist and authoritarian cult and an existential threat to our democracy and our way of life as we know it.

Then came an uncomfortable encounter earlier this month, when Hobbs, Arizona’s secretary of state, was approached by a member of the conservative group Project Veritas as she ate alone at a fast-food restaurant.
