I met Mark Kelly back in 2008 lapfog_1 Jul 23 #1

Well drop the other shoe. 3Hotdogs Jul 23 #23

rather complicated... Basically I wanted some money lapfog_1 Jul 23 #30

Nice. Or to power ac or heat when the driver is 3Hotdogs Jul 23 #43

sure, but this idea was self-contained to the trailer lapfog_1 Jul 23 #47

No, it's still a great idea, and have you seen these ? OnDoutside Jul 23 #50

cool lapfog_1 Jul 23 #51

I'm googling companies in Europe who are doing something like that OnDoutside Jul 23 #52

We are not concerned with real Republicans arlyellowdog Jul 23 #36

Indeed, nearly 75 million of them voted for TCF in 2020 Wednesdays Jul 23 #42

Not when it comes to AZ. McCain republicans have already started campaigning for Biden. And now Harris. FlyingPiggy Jul 23 #64

That's good to hear Orrex Jul 23 #68

There Are Two Types Of Trump Supporters MayReasonRule Jul 23 #26

Maggots won't abandon him. After all, he got shot, defending democracy. 3Hotdogs Jul 23 #24

Defending Democracy With His Ear... Lol MayReasonRule Jul 23 #28

Day after the shooting, he shows up on the golf course with a skin tone bandaid on his ear. Convention, he has the white 3Hotdogs Jul 23 #31

AZ needs to keep that Senate seat secured BumRushDaShow Jul 23 #5

Exactly Emile Jul 23 #7

If only we could clone Mark Kelly SocialDemocrat61 Jul 23 #12

I forgot about scott kelly. He will be great!! Replacing him w his twin brother is brilliant actually FlyingPiggy Jul 23 #63

Don't forget his replacement would have 4 years before re-election. OnDoutside Jul 23 #55

I am also concerned about AZ legislative shenanigans could possibly mess with that BumRushDaShow Jul 23 #60

Oh...he's been through 2 elections. His first election was 2020, Then 2022. His term won't expire until 2028. LeftInTX Jul 23 #69

It's not so much him but a replacement for him later down the road BumRushDaShow Jul 23 #73

But still? She will appoint a Democrat. And with Kelly on the presidential ticket there's a possiblity... brush Jul 23 #56

Yeah but... BumRushDaShow Jul 23 #61

Yes and she could nominate Scott Kelly, Mark's brother, who is equally impressive FlyingPiggy Jul 23 #74

I know Mark had that popularity along with his wife Gabby and Scott might or might not want to do it BumRushDaShow Jul 23 #75

Yep malaise Jul 23 #6

If its not Shapiro I'd be happy with him. He'd bring AZ oldsoftie Jul 23 #8

He loves his wife. Sanity Claws Jul 23 #9

My Republican inlaws said they Luciferous Jul 23 #15

Kelly would be a power move for sure bucolic_frolic Jul 23 #17

I would prefer someone that's not considered Emile Jul 23 #18

In theory, so would I... but a moderate helps assure we beat Trump, and that's the priority. nt thesquanderer Jul 23 #40

Maybe in eight years or more we can find the courage? Emile Jul 23 #58

I had more courage when the opposition was people like John McCain or Mitt Romney... thesquanderer Jul 23 #62

Not liking Shapiro in that role durablend Jul 23 #19

OMG! blue neen Jul 23 #80

Saw a post on twitter saying Kelly would be a mistake. He's a nice guy but way too boring and mild mannered LymphocyteLover Jul 23 #20

Did you read about my struggles with the Dept of State trying to get my wife here? AZLD4Candidate Jul 23 #81

I read a good bit of the whole saga. Probably not all of it. Electrolite Jul 24 #83

I am free to voice MY displeasure with MY senator and HIS office's actions AZLD4Candidate Jul 24 #85

I remember that! LeftInTX Jul 23 #71

His senate seat is too important pinkstarburst Jul 23 #46

2028 in the case of Kelly, what quality of candidates are there ? Someone mentioned Fuentes ? OnDoutside Jul 23 #53

Kelly didn't barely win. He won by 5 percentage points. He is wildly popular and accepted across the aisle. FlyingPiggy Jul 23 #65

If, as expected, Repugs go hard on Kamala over the border, Mark Kelly becomes even more important as a pick. OnDoutside Jul 23 #54

I'm rooting for Andy epreic01 Jul 23 #57

It seems like he isn't on the vetting list democrattotheend Jul 23 #70

Does it depend on where you're looking? Alice B. Jul 23 #72

Maybe not. I've been hearing he's not all that progressive. Liberal In Texas Jul 23 #66
