markthesignguy Posted February 12, 2019 at 02:17 PM Share Posted February 12, 2019 at 02:17 PM Bloomie's about to buy himself a Senator? I wonder how much sunshine Bloomie's been pumping his way? https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-mark-kelly-arizona-mccain-senate-seat-20190212-story.html Retired astronaut Mark Kelly, who rocketed to the national spotlight when his congresswoman wife Gabrielle Giffords was shot in a failed assassination attempt, announced Tuesday he's running to finish John McCain's last term in the U.S. Senate. Kelly, 54, is a top Democratic recruit to take on Republican Martha McSally in one of the most closely contested Senate races of the 2020 election. McSally is a former Republican congresswoman who was appointed to McCain's seat last year after she narrowly lost to Democrat Kyrsten Sinema. McSally leaned heavily on her record as the first woman to fly a combat mission as a fighter pilot, but she was hurt by her embrace of President Donald Trump. If Kelly is nominated, the race would pit a Navy veteran and astronaut against a trailblazing Air Force pilot in the contest to replace McCain, a legendary Navy flyer who was famously shot down and held captive. Democrats are eagerly watching the Arizona contest, having already defeated McSally in a Senate race just a few months ago. Kelly and Giffords have for years pushed Congress to enact gun control measures with little success. They shifted their focus to state legislatures in recent years, helping to strengthen background checks and domestic violence protections, among other modest protections.

steveTA84 Posted February 12, 2019 at 02:28 PM Share Posted February 12, 2019 at 02:28 PM Bloomie will support him, but he’s been talking about this for awhile. Bloomberg did give his group the initial financial support though http://i.imgur.com/iho435w.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nod Posted February 12, 2019 at 06:44 PM Share Posted February 12, 2019 at 06:44 PM Considering that Arizona voters put McCain in office from 1983 until 2018 I don't hold out any hope of them doing the right thing. This clown will most likely win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abolt243 Posted February 12, 2019 at 08:25 PM Share Posted February 12, 2019 at 08:25 PM Arizona suffers from getting all the retirees from the Northern states as well as those trying to escape California, but all of them still want to bring the lifestyle, politics and problems of their former homes with them. They move there for the western desert climate, then insist on green grass, build massive irrigation systems to water the lawns and golf courses and complain about lizards and horny toads. I've spent time there with family since the 50's. Talk about immigrants changing the culture. AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
