Hobbs headed to the right means a win for the Republicans— the very idea that dems didnt suck up to republicans enough would be laughable if it werent so tragic. Who are these operators in the consultant class who are so dead set on killing the progressive wing of the dem party? Yep, buying into immigrant hating reslly helped the dems, right? And ignoring our funding of the genocide in gaza? Another big winner for the dems this time around ( especially in michigan). Loser party goes to loser strategy to keep on losing... Argh!!!! Signed: a member of the progressive wing of dem party working really hard to get it to realize that we exist, we vote, and there are more of us than there are republicans who will vote for washed up shape shifting democrats. Katie Hobbs headed for Kyrsten Sinema 2.0?????

My Hispanic friends are terrified. Should they carry their birth certificate with them? Yes, they are citizens. With no one protecting them from jail, law suits just for being dark skinned what do I say? I’ve lived in Arizona for 54 years and I don’t see the horrific crime from illegal immigration. That’s all they talked about. People were pissed but that anger and fear came, wait for it, from the Covid debacle neither party was courageous enough to talk about for fear we’d all collapse psychologically. I’m sorry, that’s where Democrats failed and Republicans took advantage. Harris should have hung Covid around Trump’s neck like a dead cub in Central Park. Maricopa County was hit hard from inflation, thanks Doug. Who gets the blame, Democrats, I don’t get it.

Kudos on reporting of Hobbs moving toward the right. Her propensity to be "Sinema 2.0" was evident in her 2022 campaign for governor. Democratic and Democrat-leaning Independent activists are paying attention to her policies and actions. If Hobbs doesn't sense the sharks circling as she contemplates a 2026 run, she should.
