Meghan McCain: Arizona has gone ‘full blown MAGA’
by Zach Schonfeld - 08/03/22 11:12 AM ET
Meghan McCain criticized Trump-endorsed candidate Kari Lake’s lead in the Arizona Republican gubernatorial primary on Wednesday, saying the state has gone “full blown MAGA.”
As of Wednesday morning, Lake leads Karrin Taylor Robson, who was endorsed by former Vice President Mike Pence and current Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R), by about 1.7 percentage points, or about 11,300 raw votes, according to The Associated Press. The AP has not called the race and estimates about 20 percent of the votes have yet to be counted.
“I see my initial predictions were right despite the initial excitement of Robson pulling ahead,” McCain wrote on Twitter.
“Congratulations to my home state for full making the transition to full blown MAGA/conspiracy theory/fraudster,” she added. “The voters have spoken – be careful what you wish for.”
The primary has marked the latest proxy battle between former President Trump and establishment Republican figures, with Trump zeroing in on his unfounded claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election while the party’s establishment wing has focused on contrasting with the Democratic Party on issues like inflation.
McCain, the daughter of former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), is a longtime critic of Trump, who repeatedly disparaged the late senator and 2008 Republican presidential nominee.

Meghan McCain: Arizona has gone ‘full blown MAGA’
The fact that she is unhappy makes me VERY happy!!!

For non-establishment Republicans, other than Maga, what else is there to vote for?
The Republican establishment is owned lock, stock, and barrell by the Globalist U.S. Chamber of Commerce?
What other conservtaive mass movement wants to put America, and Americans, First?

The spawn of Mc Stain is upset. I like it.

What's the downside Meghan?

They would rather vote for Rats. Says it all about them. When is the last time you heard Liz Cheney criticize a Democrat?
-
We're erasing her pappy's "legacy" of deceit one RINO at a time.

When was the last time you heard Mitt Romney or ANY Establishment Republican criticize a Democrat? These are UniParty RINOs.
They still spit the word MAGA as if it is a bad thing. The best thing Biden has done, is to come up with the phrase MEGA-MAGA KING!
Everybody I know loves it!

I'm not a rabid Trumpista, but I certainly appreciate the sentiment of MAGA, namely, Make America Great Again. Why does Meghan find that so troublesome?

Blood is thicker than water.

Get it right Meg, it's "Ultra-MAGA"!

I can truly empathize for Arizona and what McCain did to their party structure. Texas will suffer years after Cornyn is gone, too.

McCain was petty and power-hungry. GWB defeated him in 2000 primaries, and McCain attacked groups who supported GWB, via McCain-Feingold and back-stabbed GWB in Congress. The American people rejected McCain in 2008 (I voted against OhBummer! and for Palin, not for McCain), made Trump President, and McCain jealously tried to back-stab Trump. If that's the legacy Meghan is loyal to, I hope the people of AZ grind it into the desert sand.

See the results from the AZ Primary Tuesday. The McCainiacs lost bigly, with Kari Lake sweeping all 15 Counties. When the Maricopa count shifted to Lake last night, the Networks finally relented and called the race for Governor. The same thing happened with the big state-wide races.
It's begun.

Has Ducey congratulated Lake yet?

Hopefully not. He's toxic after certifying the fraudulent 2020 election.

To her, like many, MAGA is a four letter word......
And they are using it as a perjorative.
Kinda like "deplorable"...
I have a sweatshirt that says "Proud Deplorable" on it.

Talk about a thrashing.

Admitting that Daddy was reprehensibly wrong is not easy.

Impossible if the person in question has a limited mental capacity. Everything in that head was spoon-fed to her.
Oh, BTW...both of her parents were/are crooks.
-
McStain's use of the word MAGA is meant to be derogatory.
But many wear the badge proudly.
I often wonder what it means to Make American Great Again.
To me, America is great.
We've survived a steady stream of stupidity since 2000 in the WH.
And I really don't go for "America is the greatest nation on earth".
I would fully expect Swedes to feel that way about Sweden and Finns to feel that way about Finland.
They don't go touting it.
I think we are a great nation...and could be even greater (better).

Wrong ?
He was worse than wrong.
Much worse in my opinion.

I like the way that notion is presented in the first words in the US Constitution's Preamble:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union ...
It's always a work in process.

Of course it is.
The problem becomes:
1. We don't agree on what a more perfect union looks like. I prefer to think of it in terms of liberty (maximum liberty).
2. Others see it differently (healthcare is a human right, which bespeaks a reduction in liberty in my book....at least the way they want to do it.....we do have amessed up health care system.....but Obamacare is NOT a fix).
3. What makes us so good is that we have 50 different systems (although the left is constantly trying to homogonize us).
4. We also have a great process that allows us to change things (and I want to preserve those processes which is why....whenever I catch grief for voting for Trump, I unapologetically say.....Gorsuch, Kavennaugh, Barrett.....then I walk away....I also throw in a thank you to Ruth BG if I want to really annoy them)

I agree with all four points here.
I especially agree with point 3. The Dems have made it very clear they want to break the 50-State Federal Republic to replace it with some sort of mob blob, and in my opinion this is an existential threat.

I don't see the GOP touting the 10th the way we should be.
Or educating people as to how it works.
I explain it to left-wing co-workers and they find the concept rather attractive. Using a more local government to achieve their Utopia. They are welcome to try. Just don't drag the rest of us with you.
Seriously, I don't see that AZ ever passed one (from memory).
Even in Kansas they wouldn't sustain it.
The federal GOP was mum, totally mum, about anything regarding it.
Up with the 10th.
Repeal the 17th.

...has repeatedly pushed Trump’s false election fraud claims.
The media just cannot accept that there was some truth in the claims of fraud... **nononono*
