I voted for Romney because I felt i had no choice. I read BHO's books and KNEW exactly what he was and how he would govern.

Romney isnt the nice guy he portrayed. He's a back stabbing weakling. Would he have been better than Obama, probably; but wouldnt have been any worse.

I've always liked Andy Biggs but find that "consultants" often only care about their fees. Of course they want lots of media ads placed; they get a percentage of that money. Most of them aee like lawyers, they will work for an support whomever pays them.

I cant vote for Andy but based on what Ive seen and heard about Hobbs, it's hard to believe she would be reelected. She's not too bright and I have no doubt that she messed with the 2020/22 elections.

Thank you for at least trying to help. Unfortunately, I suspect you analysis is correct. 😕

You can’t vote for Biggs? Are you insane?

Your cognitive dissonance is off the charts, or you’re just a troll. Probably the latter. Yuck

Just like knee jerk Ds; you jump off the "ASSUME" cliff without bothering to ask for clarification.

Did it ever occur to you that I don't live in AZ? Not too bright are you? 🙄

You are Embarrassed I guess.

Sad to hear this. Every election is local as we know.

Doing a day of service for 9/11 in Gilbert Arizona and Andy Biggs is here. I too agree he has been hands off. But Kari lake went all in and the cheating was so massive that part of me wonders what can be done? We have to clean up the voter rolls first and foremost and limit mail in ballots

I remember Romney absolutely shellacking Obama in that first debate. Romney was knowledgeable, prepared and made Obama look like a grade school AOC. Then something happened and he called off the dogs. Something or someone got to him and he played establishment nice and lost. Years later we discovered what an establishment tool bag Romney was and that it probably made very little difference who was in office.

I think Biggs has screwed this up beyond repair. If it’s even close, the crooks will figure out how to manufacture the ballots and then, being judge and jury to their own crimes again, they will challenge the “conspiracy theorists” to attempt to make things right for the people. This shit is so tiresome. I, and I suppose most others, have nearly given up hope that anything real can be done to have fair elections or any true accountability for those installed into office. The Tier 1 donor class, with all their money and influence, call all the shots. And the Tier 2 shadow government career alphabet agency clowns run cover for them. Captain, do you ever feel like you’re banging your head against a wall?

It did seem like the USPS mail-ballot rules would solve enough of this to keep a lid on the fraudsters but it's now looking like SCOTUS will sit on their DUFUS and then declare "we couldn't possibly allow these rules for this election because it's too late" and provide another soft, feel-good, get along to get along ruling. Why didn't SCOTUS say the MO Supreme Court decision was too late? CaptK reecenttly revealed a solid theory on that.

Well, my friend, when you understand that the three branches of government are Tier 3 leadership that do the bidding of the Tier 2 deep state and the Tier 1 donor class it all starts to make sense.

My advice would be to live your life, love your family, spend as much time with your kids and grandkids knowing, with all it’s irredeemable warts, this is still the greatest Banana Republic in the world to exist in by far.

It is a shame the people don’t have more influence. But when you look at have crazy the general population is it may be ironic that the current set up has worked this well for this long. Perhaps the criminal elites controlling everything is in everyone’s best interest. IYKYK

Romney in 2012 was no different than McCain in 2008 - they were told to throw the race and they did, albeit in very different ways! Was it for money? Were they blackmailed? Did they just want the adulation of the permanent political class and the mainstream media who never fail to call them "honorable men" for their refusal to actually try to win?

Andy Biggs is following the same pattern. He is barely even mounting a campaign, against an unlikable opponent, with a history of questionable associations and bad decisions. And Arizona will get the same results as Romney did in 2012 - people will just stay home and Hobbs will win, because her opponent couldn't be bothered to actually get dirty and fight to win!

Captain , AMERICANS have always loved being on the winning side of everything ! It’s been inherit in our DNA since George + the gang started fighting the “ Red Coats .” This governors race is no different , Hobbs ( a witch in a white dress) is fighting like George did , hit + run till the opponent is bleeding to much to recover ! ANDY NEEDS TO GO SCORCHED EARTH OR as you + I see loose in the Maricopa controlled voting booth of Hobbs 2 assistants who did the same to Kari Lake in 2022 , Bob George + his assistant ! Nothing says “I Lost “ like Apathy on the candidates part . ANDY GET OFF YOUR ARSE !

Thanks for ringing the alarm

Bell LOUDLY. Hope the called out wake up and DO WHAT IS REQUIRED TO WIN!!

Damn difficult post to read,

Rick's avatar

But i agree with much of it.

I think the biggest problem is the McCain residue, who have dug their grifted asses into the floor boards of the GOP here in Az.

Trump needs to visit Tucson and Phoenix and I bet he will.

Thanks for the honest assessment. The Romney approach has been a dead loser forever. Republicans had better bring determination, aggression and a desire to crush their enemies.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I SENT YOU DATA REGARDING THE ILLEGAL MAIL-IN-BALLOT, AND YOUR RESPONSE WAS YOU WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK TO ME.

I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE LD10 REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE TO AT LEAST LOOK AT HOW THE NGO'S WILL STEAL ANOTHER ELECTION BUT NO ONE WANTS TO TOUCH IT. I HAVE EVEN INTRODUCED THE INFORMATION TO THE BIGGS CAMPAIGN THROUGH ONE OF THEIR PAID REPRESENTATIVES. THE CHILL FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE INTEREST IS SUB-ZERO!

THE HOBBS CABAL WILL NOT GO SILENTLY INTO THE NIGHT JUST BECAUSE ARIZONA IS A REPUBLICAN STATE, THERE ARE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS AT STAKE. WE HAVE LITTLE TIME TO ELIMINATE THE STEAL OF THE 2026 ARIZONA ELECTION.

IT IS REALLY TO BAD NO ONE WANTS TO LISTEN.

I did review your work.

What are you asking me to do that the administration itself can’t seem to get through courts? There are numerous voter roll integrity companies doing this sort of work and it still always comes down to courts, lawyers, and bureaucrats looking to run out the clock for one more election cycle.

Mormons/LDS - what is happening? Let me go into territory I don't fully understand and see what I can learn. I lived in Northern VA (25+ years). In NOVA, I met many LDS people, and many were friends and work colleagues. Because UT was always deep red (and all of them had strong connections to UT), I assumed they were happy about Trump and MAGA. But NO, I was told by several (friends and close co-workers) that although they like GOP policies and voted for Trump themselves, he and MAGA offended their LDS view of the world - rough language, what they see as unnecessary combativeness, and attention-seeking. They said they had family members who did not vote for Trump/MAGA candidates (they just stayed home because he/MAGA upsets them).

When I look at LDS politicians, Mike Lee being the exception, my brain just registers "wimp." Look at Romney. Look at Spencer Cox. Even Biggs has a wimpiness to him. Look at what is happening to "deep red" UT? I was in SLC a few years ago and saw more "pride" and BLM flags than I see in any other place in the US.

Can anyone speak to this? Am I missing something? Does this stem from the LDS mission and mindset?

The Hobbs campaign is already running ads in Prime Time tv local media claiming that she's responsible for "lowering taxes" and claiming that SHE is responsible for (get this) " no tax on tips, no tax on overtime"!!?? Her campaign is taking a victory lap for a Trump initiative!

Seriously!!

Katie Hobbs stole the 2022 election from Kari Lake, and tried to cover it up. When November comes around, if Hobbs hasn't already been arrested, she will be.

I’ve covered the families, the financial pressures, and the accusations surrounding Arizona’s reunification industry. That reporting drives my judgment that Katie Hobbs is a DANGER to AMERICA. Her social work background makes her veto especially difficult to stomach. In our interview with Mark Finchem, he accused her of protecting the money flowing through a system parents described as devastating.

I share the outrage, using the word SADIST: government cruelty becomes especially repugnant when dressed in the language of care. Keshel is right about urgency. Put the veto, the testimony, and the human consequences before voters. Make Hobbs defend her decision.

Tell it like it is… thank you. Am still greatly in support of the Seth/Rachel concept of a basic-training type school for candidates, but see this article as further strong evidence that such a school for consultants is also desperately needed – if not even more so.
