She's the first guest on the show tonight.

Apparently people thought I *like* Martha McSally (I don't), or that I was promoting HER personally (not my intention).

What happened to study your enemies? Know your foes?
All I ever see or hear from her are those stupid campaign ads where she parrots trump/RNC talking points and I just tune them out. To see her challenged by a real journalist where she would have to 'think on her feet' was of definite interest to me.

She was weak on her canned campaign responses, heavy on China. What was new (to me) is that she's got a book she's selling, about her early life and becoming a pilot. This was more interesting and I could see where it might be appealing to a certain audience.

Her new attack message/angle about Mark Kelly that she wanted to push was:
"Mark Kelly is invested in China, and China is invested in Mark Kelly"
and "it'll all come out in the campaign"

What that's about, I don't know...

in an interview with someone like Christiane Amanpour,
and NOT on a Fox-like broadcast.

I thought other Arizonans may be interested also. That's all!

Re: China reference

There is one potential upside in the numbers for McSally.

The HighGround poll indicated 20% of those polled blame China for the new coronavirus, with another 25% unsure who to blame.

Translation: Expect to see lots of campaign ads in coming days, portraying Kelly — a naval aviator who flew combat missions during the Gulf War and later commanded the space shuttle — as a commie.



After his retirement from NASA, Kelly co-founded World View, a Tucson-based space balloon company that received some of its funding from a Chinese technology company.


Its a desperate move that will fail.

In this latest poll



HighGround poll shows McSally trailing in every age group other than 50-64. An astounding 71% of independents favor Kelly.
