The hourglass is running low on Blake Masters and his chances to reverse course in the Arizona Senate race as Sen. Mark Kelly (D) keeps up his offensive on the airwaves, leaving Republicans pessimistic and turning their attention elsewhere on the 2022 map.
Masters, the Peter Thiel protégé-turned-politician, found himself on the wrong side of the multiple developments last week, headlined by the cancellation of $9.6 million worth of ads by the Senate Leadership Fund a group backed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). In addition, a new poll on Thursday commissioned by AARP showed Kelly leading by 8 percentage points.
The news, coupled with an endless stream of pro-Kelly or anti-Masters ads that are only now starting to be responded to by pro-Masters messages, also left a sour taste in the mouths of Arizona Republicans as a number of key strategists see the race slipping away quickly.
Hes just getting massacred, one Arizona-based GOP operative told The Hill. You cant watch a YouTube clip about how to cook a roast chicken without seeing an ad about how hes the crazy dad at the football game and shows him saying all these crazy things.

and zero shame. She's the most Trumpian of all the candidates in the field right now. So, yes, she is scary.

(13,514 posts)5. Masters
has the Jared Kushner "wet noodle" persona.
Just not an interesting person.
Hope he goes down.
And Hope the same is true of the other Peter Thiel protoge, JD Vance.

Anyone who can afford it, make a donation to Mark Kelly and Democratic nominee for governor Katie Hobbs.
As SOS, Katie helped save democracy in Arizona.

Masters is doing horrible, but Kari Lake is very close to winning Arizona.
