I didn’t say anything about a big city, I said rural Arizona is by and large a hole. Plenty of other states that actually have beautiful rural areas.
As long as we are here talking about the Arizona Senate lets relive one of the great moments in AZ Senate history shall we?

Dems flipped 3 Atty General, while losing none

It was repeal and replace and the red team had the biggest bestest plan just waiting to be implemented per the orange Haze.
Both sides knew there were things that needed to be fixed . Now red team is ready to deal because they got pummeled on this issue . I guess this is the way it supposed to work . You have zero legislation to replace so you lie yet again
Repugs who aren't up for re-election have no risk of being primaried and/or out-financed by, eg, Kock Bros.American Hero doing American Hero things, tbh...
A Repug wants to stay in office? Then vote as dictated by the oligarchy.
McLiar, alive and then dead, had the additional "bravery" of vengeance against Pres Bone Spurs who doesn't like America POWs
H-town farmers covering up some BS. But here comes Mueller.
Repugs don't deal, because they consider all opposition to be illegit. It's My Way, or the Obstruct Way.
Since Gingrich, Real Men don't compromise, which is weakness, admitting defeat.
anarchist Gingrich introduced the idea that Repugs enabling a Dem project to succeed would mean Dems would get all the credit, which is unacceptable.
So never support a Dem program, always obstruct, even if Repugs would pass the same program if they were in power.
Repugs don't have to deal on anything, because they are financed, protected, enabled by the oligarchy's $$$
Total obstruction, if not actual govt shutdown (Gingrich did it twice to Clinton), as we've seen since 2010, is acceptable to the Repugs, since the status quo is laughably rigged for the oligarchy.
Imagine something on Cruz....

Sounds about right that FOX news & Wikileaks are somehow involved.Imagine something on Cruz....
Between Trump & FOX and Wiki - they are a huge part of destroying this country from the inside. Putin got his money's worth x10000000000000000000000000000000000000!!!!!!!!!!!
Ding ding ding!! Man I hope so!!Imagine something on Cruz....

Trash Warns That Florida Recount Could Set Dangerous Precedent of Person with Most Votes Winning
WASHINGTON —Calling for an “immediate end” to the recount in Florida, Donald J. Trump warned on Monday that it could set a dangerous precedent of the person with the most votes winning.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said that those in favor of the recount had a
“sick obsession with finding out which candidate got the most votes.”
“Democrats are going on and on about counting every last vote until they find out who got the most,” Trump said.
“Since when does getting the most votes mean you win?”
Trump said that, if the recounts are allowed to proceed,
“We could be looking at a very bad, very sad situation
where to be considered legitimately elected
you have to get more votes than the other candidate.”
Having just returned from the Armistice commemoration in Paris,
Trump said that Florida’s recount has made America “the laughingstock of the world,” adding,
“Putin told me they never do recounts in Russia.”

I’m guessing that’s an article from The Onion?
Dark humor for sure. Delegitimating elections is no joke:
https://tompepinsky.com/2018/11/12/w...er-legitimate/In a month of harrowing news, this development is still almost incalculably bad for American democracy. I now assume that a substantial minority of Americans believe that the results of the elections in Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and California are democratically illegitimate unless the Republican candidate wins. Updating the lessons from the previous post,
- When electoral procedures lose popular legitimacy, it is nearly impossible to get that legitimacy back. Elections are one great way of building popular legitimacy, and if by assumption they no longer do, what will?
- Non-electoral sources of power are particularly dangerous when elections no longer legitimately empower politicians. It now falls to the very politicians who are involved in the recount to vouch for its legitimacy. The safest way to defend that legitimacy would be for the losing candidates to rebuke the President, directly and publicly. A public endorsement would be most meaningful if it were to come from, for example, DeSantis. Let us just ponder how likely that is.
- The downstream consequences from the loss of electoral legitimacy are nearly impossible to predict. I suspect that one consequence will be an ever-greater tolerance for executive malfeasance, on the logic that Congressional representatives and state governments lack democratic legitimacy.
https://tompepinsky.com/2016/08/03/w...ust-elections/Perhaps more than anything that he has said through his campaign, Donald Trump’s charge that the upcoming presidential elections will be rigged have frightened political observers, and especially political scientists. The reason is that elite and public acceptance of electoral procedures is essential to democratic politics. Political scientists understand that the foundation of democratic political order is the acceptance of the rules of the game. The only way that we really know that losers accept those rules when they lose and respect the outcome. The politics of a losing presidential candidate rejecting the election itself is almost unimaginable. It would risk a crisis of systemic legitimacy.
But what would such politics look like, now that we must imagine it? American history is no great source of information. There is the case of the Civil War, which began when southern states seceded from the union. But this was a cleavage first and foremost over policy—slavery—and the political order that it required. And as such, the Civil War had a clear regional divide over that policy. Trump’s allegations about vote-rigging are not regionally defined, and they are not about specific policy. They are channeling mass dissatisfaction with the entire political system, refracted (as is often the case with Trump) through the candidate’s own self-obsessions. No state could, or would, secede from the union over Trump’s electoral defeat. The crisis of systemic legitimacy would be national, within the states, between supporters of Trump and his opponents.
