And after she went to all the bother of running for Senate.
The New Michele Bachmann, now with Extra Crazy…
Do the majority of Arizona voters feel she would look out for Arizona interests? She lost when the citizens were involved in the choice.
Of course she deserves to be appointed, because McSally was the voters choice. In the same way that Trump was the voters choice. Actually being the choice of the majority of voters is so passé.

This is very good news for us.
Anyone who is surprised by this has been in a coma for the last two years.
Never saw that coming… NOT
My own thinking on this is that Doug Ducey eventually wants to run for the Senate and since he just got reelected as governor, he couldn’t appoint himself. Martha Mcsally is not a great campaigner and with Donald Trump on the ballot in 2020, Ducey probably expects her to lose(since this is an appointment, there is going to be an election for this seat in 2020 to finish out McCain’s term, which ends in 2022). In 2022, Doug Ducey is term limited and will run for Senate against the incumbent democrat.
Democracy – it’s more of a guideline.
“Everyone gets a trophy”.
So, Doug made the worst possible choice.
We voted this witch OUT!
We will get rid of her again.
Promise.
OT but WaPo saying President Cavey McCavesalot has caved on the budget. HA HA HA HA HA tough guy wants to run off and play golf didn’t have the votes and the tide’s running the wrong way LOSER.
Sneaking McSally through the alley…
(stolen from WaPo)
Bit hypocritical that this self-serving flip-flopper (e.g., from calling Trump disgusting after Access Hollywood tape to Sharia-hating Trump ally in 2018) is now taking the seat of the Senator she disrespected.
Senator “Participation Award”
Because in the Arizona Republican Party, everyone gets a ribbon.
She was very quiet when the election results in Arizona turned for Sinema as the final election counts were taking place. . It was a logical conclusion that Ducey would appoint her so she didn’t make a big fuss.
If the Dems don’t blow a sure thing, they will pick up that seat in 2020.
Recalling that in the Primary after Gabby Giffords was shot, Mustang McSally lost to a blatant gun-totin’ thug who openly admitted his desire for corruption (In Arizona), and she only won against Ron Barber when he proved himself to be as incompetent a Congressman as Gabby was a good one.
However, it’s the Arizona Democratic Party, so…
Yeah, sounds like Ducey’s brilliant scheming. Might even work. Maybe.
The last fighter pilot to hold this seat crashed five planes. What’s McSally’s record?
She’ll always be junior to Sinema. I hope that grates.
Shame he couldn’t appoint pre-2016 McSally, that might not have been as bad. I can’t decide if trump’s ability is to just rip the veneer off people and expose them for who they really are, or if he’s actually like some malign pied piper, dragging normally sane people down the road of hate and insanity.
