    There are roughly 4 million registered voters in Arizona. Assuming 60% showed up, that's 2.4 million. So more than 10% remain to be counted five days after the election.

      That's ridiculous.

      Of course, I'm sure they'll keep finding votes and counting until the right candidate wins..

                  I think she showed a lot of promise. Articulate, energetic and a lot of her volunteers were young people. Her opponent refused to debate her.

                  Maybe all Demonrats will soon adopt the Biden Basement Strategy.

                      I know next to nothing about her stances - but it's nice to see team Trump lose another one.

                      Hopefully creates space for other Republicans by solidifying Trump's brand as electoral toxic.

                      R's should have had this one in the bag.

                            The moment where Lake lost:

                            There's a difference between thinking something and saying it, potentially pissing off a bunch of people.

                            She didn't appreciate that difference with this comment.

                                Critiquing the basement strategy misses the fact that the folks who are losing are losing all by themselves. They’re not winning people over. They are the ones who are failing here.

                                Maybe they’re the ones who need to change what they’re saying? Well, not maybe, obviously. At least it should be obvious.

                                I was only joking

                                  It’s good to see Trumpiness unequivocally rejected. Let’s rip the bandaid off and proceed with better candidates. This would be a painful lesson to have to relearn next election.

                                  Education is extremely important.

                                    Hard to make a mistake when you're running a Biden Basement campaign. So, is that what we want, mayonnaise and white bread politics? No original thinking, no charismatic candidates? It's Fetterman & Hobbs, almost unable or unwilling to speak, letting their large war chests buy their messaging through all forms of media?

                                          Critiquing the basement strategy misses the fact that the folks who are losing are losing all by themselves. They’re not winning people over. They are the ones who are failing here.

                                          Maybe they’re the ones who need to change what they’re saying? Well, not maybe, obviously. At least it should be obvious.

                                          Hard to make a mistake when you're running a Biden Basement campaign. So, is that what we want, mayonnaise and white bread politics? No original thinking, no charismatic candidates? It's Fetterman & Hobbs, almost unable or unwilling to speak, letting their large war chests buy their messaging through all forms of media?

                                          What I'd like is an end to the conspiracy theorists, whackjobs, and followers of the Trump personality cu*t .

                                          YMMV.

                                          I was only joking
