Hate it, but it's because she doesn't get support from independents.

She's a moron and was a horrible candidate. She would've been a liability in the senate anyways.

Don't insult McCain in his home state when they're still waiting on the dirt to settle before steering the headstone.

She's permanently alienated the middle and the independents.

Wasn't she polling 5 pts behind Trump R vs D in her race?

Hopefully this will be the defeat that finally gets her to go away.

So is Gallego and he is all of the above and will vote 100% in a different direction for 6 years.

So, the Senate will be 53-47 with Vance as the tie breaker for the next 2 years.

You cant blame Lake for being a bad candidate causing the loss without also putting equal or more blame on McConnel for not giving campaign funds to Lake.

What happens when the outstanding vote count goes up everyday after the election.

Part of this seems to be from a misunderstanding of a change. Arizona probably should be thought of as a purple state, and treated with the same care not to choose someone too far right or left to win.

What? It's totally normal to take days after an election to tally up the votes. Been that way for every election this country has ever had. Hasn't it?

pretty wild that she so thoroughly hitched her wagon to trump and still trailed him by 4 points in her own state. decent data point that trumpism just isn't as popular when it's someone other than trump.

She has never been defeated fairly and I hope Trump appoints her Press Secretary so she can ***** slap all of the haters and the losers daily in the briefings.

Can someone explain her lack of appeal, without name calling? I'm trying to understand why someone so articulate keeps losing.

Please elaborate on:

A) She's a moron

B) Horrible candidate

C) Liability in the Senate

Really I just want you to explain C because that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard in my life. No offense.

Three elections in a row. DOJ, under Trump can get involved in investigating and subpoena everything, including Runbeck. Then DOJ actively monitors their elections especially in Maricopa County for the next three cycles.

100% agree Gallego is awful too. But the fact that the AZ GOP put her up after the ass kicking from Hobbs and AZ election denials made her toxic. Also, she's a party flip flopper.

She clearly "lost" as in made it more than close enough to `massage' by alienating the go-along-get-along clique so strong there. She may have objectively won, or objectively lost, but if so it was by a margin that is its own verdict on who had alienated. Its a purple state, for all intents and purposes now.

You're overestimating the intelligence of the electorate.

Something is off in her election. About 31,000 ballots only voted for Senator. They didn't vote for any other candidate, including President? That needs to be addressed.

Hence the "lost" because made it close enough when should have been wider.

Also, this goes to the change --- TX you will notice, had large anti-Cruz sentiment, but is not purple as was willing to vote for a Leftist because of it. Arizona's willingness to do that shows the change.

She insulted the key areas of the Arizona electorate that you need to get elected. She has zero background that would point to her being a good elected official, and she once supported Kerry and Obama. That adds up to an unlikeable talking head without the support of the base she would need to win. Terrible candidate.

It was stolen. They can do this when they slow count and the margins are slim.

Not so much when they run someone like Kamala that get's schlonged bigly.

Ok this could be a great use for her. She's nails on her feet and a career media personality. Plus she has "I'd like to speak to the manager" hair which gives her zingers/attacks like +3 liberal damage.

The patterns between 2020, 2022 and 2024 are very clear. Once could be an oops out of incompetence. But two more times? That's on purpose.

At the Maricopa County Counting Center, mail in ballots from Runbeck kept appearing every night post election for ten days. Each night the workers were told they were almost done only to have thousands more show up the next morning. When asked how many ballots were still outstanding, no one in charge of the counter center knew. And that would be an easy fix, just call Runbeck and ask. They had both lists, how many they sent out and how they had received back and scanned.

Yet for the next two elections,they never did that. Under Help America Vote Act, enacted in 2002 to remedy the issues in 2000, states do have to meet minimum standards to receive federal funds. Maricopa County does not meet those requirements primarily due to outsourcing to private entities with zero supervision.

And of those 38,000 do we know the split between Lake and Gallego?

This is why she is so unpopular.

Election denying in both parties is generally a losing issue nationally. Same reason Stacey Abrams couldn't win anything again in Arizona and also a major reason no red waive materialized in 2022.

There is a reason why, outside of Trumps mouth, the campaign was almost silent on the topic in 2024.

So is calling the other side fascists or communist. Those things just lose.
