Another Senate Race Is Slipping Away ?

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Correct, but the Rats are on a never-ending search for the next Trump to blame all the world's ills upon.

Yeah but he's pretty unique IMO. There won't be another of him in my lifetime. We might get conservative guys like Desantis and Cruz, but you and I know that they are conventional politicians. Trump was pure chaos.

...in a good way.

Back to the topic.

We need Mark Kelly out of that seat. 

But he's being funded out the backside.

538 models now show a 30% chance of the GOP taking the senate. 

That is up from 25%. 

If it gets up over 40%, that means one or two the races has become competitive.

[HikerGuy83]

Why?  If the DNC gets the Senate, they’ll simply expand the Court by adding enough ideologically left “justices” to permanently remake the Constitution. 

That will pretty much be the end of the U.S.A. in my book. 

And I don't mean we'll just rename it.

We either divide it up or we are back in 1861.

538 shows the latest poll to have Masters gaining.

The difference is now 6 points. 

They still put Masters at a 25% chance of winning.

What's more encouraging is that Kelly has slipped below 50% in the last several polls.

Masters is still less than 10% of Kelly in terms of money.

Mitch the bitch Turtle thinks Master's doesn't have a chance, and thus less RNC money.    Being allied to Trump will do that, you know.

I am not so sure I agree.

What is needed is some comparison. 

Kelly has more money than a lot of presidential contenders. 

I think Masters has as much as one would normally expect....Kelly is just swimming in it.

What is needed is people to stop voting for the guy with the most money! There is a reason he has that money and it isn't because he works for you!

In the natural, more money translates into more air time, more pollsters, more tours... more everything, which all translates to more exposure hitting exactly on the popularity nailhead.

But there comes a time when you can throw all the money you want and it won't make a damn bit of difference. See Liz Cheney as the latest poster child.

The money in the end is not the thing - If folks hit 'oh hell no!'... that will change the landscape against the money... Hence my continued mantra to 'throw the bastards out'... Until the popular opinion turns near unanimously against them, the money will make a difference.

Polls

That's right.

The money can make a difference.  See famous Tip O'Neil Quotes on the subject.  It's always true, but even a ton of cash can't overcome a universal disdain for a politician. 

The Laws of Diminishing Returns apply.

I wish people were willing to get more insulted. These pols are SERVANTS with their hand in the till.

But no... instead all that is swept under the rug, and it's all popularity contests to the tune of 'Fugue for Tinhorns'

I will never understand it.

I guess it depends on the price of "popularity?"

Totally true and I am hoping applys in Kelly's case.

Michael Bloomburg, a true dem in RINO clothing, barely bought the Mayor's race with 100 million (174 bucks a vote).......

100 MILLION....for a mayor's race.

And he still almost didn't make it.

Nevertheless, Masters has some headwinds to overcome and some extra cash won't hurt.  I'll be donating soon.

In some cases....their very souls.

So true. 

If she had reversed she could have recovered.

But she chose to double down.

Bye bye.

Same as here:

Aaron Lewis figgered it out.

And his conclusion is exactly why I will never understand it.

I think in all cases.

'The Crossroads' are a very real thing.

Entirely tuned to the wrong station... And turned up so loud she couldn't even hear her own demise coming.

I don't know how she couldn't.

They didn't just vote her out.....

They really really dumped her.

So, we can only hope that Kelly's big war fund only takes him so far. 

The AZ GOP has a lot of work to do.

[roamer_1]

The AZ GOP has a lot of work to do.

One thing they have in their favor... AZ proved cheating in the last election. AZ is pissed off. And AZ is super pissed off at the McCain't machine.

They are making ways to fix all that, and are filled with righteous anger. And there ain't much in this world that will stop a righteous man.

Let's hope that anger spells votes.
