They all make George w bush look like Abraham Lincoln.
Kern needs to loosen his neck collar

[@chadkroeger9]

these freaks actually spent more time defending each other from the moderator calling out their scandals than arguing policy. incredible

[@dbackhusker]

Why is the moderator trying to bring up dirt on them? Maybe that’s evidence of political bias?

[@Ryomi613]

I feel so bad for this moderator. He asked specific questions and got run around answers.

[@JoeMamasBasement]

Toma: Spineless; Kern: Insane and angry; Franks: Sketchy; Masters: Phony, full-of-crap; Hamadeh: angry and dangerous.

[@RetiredVet2020]

All are Trump lackeys. I am tired of the crappy Trump candidates

[@123ucr]

Unfortunately, one of these Trump lackeys will win in 2024 because Arizona-8 is a safe red district.

[@adamhenrywalker]

Don't read my channel description

[@morganleavitt8053]

It's insane people think any of these men are a good choice. None of them can answer a direct question and still tow whatever line they think Trump wants. Truly disappointing, grow a spine please.

[@adamhenrywalker]

Womp womp cry about it

[@123ucr]

Unfortunately, one of these men will probably win in 2024 because Arizona 8 is a deep red district.

[@dbackhusker]

Troll

[@tiffanyvang1085]

Let's vote for the right people who put country over party, and put We the people over Donald Trump. We, the people, are not supposed to worship a criminal with so many indictments.

[@123ucr]

Unfortunately, I think Arizona-8 will vote for any of the Trump lackeys because that district is overwhelmingly red.

[@adamhenrywalker]

Trump 2024

[@JoeMamasBasement]

Blake Masters has gained a lot of weight since 2022, which I'm not calling out whatsoever, but it seems that the comments about him being a skinny weirdo like his accomplice JD Vance and their pimp Peter Thiel...

[@JoeMamasBasement]

Seeing how Hamadeh won this primary and is basically going to win, I feel bad for the 8th district seeing how they'll have the most hateful, pessimistic and outright nasty person representing himself, *oops I guess I meant Arizona...

[@timmypage1223]

Insurrectionist for district 8.... lol

[@sunshine-xy3nr]

one thing we also need to pass is the age limit to serve

[@sunshine-xy3nr]

thank you for addressing the Social Security, When I got my bank statement it showed that my SS is a Federal benefit. Why federal benefit? that is my hard earned money why federal benefit? I believe Social Security must not be taxed.

[@TheVioletArmy]

Blake Masters for Congress

[@PatriotMapper]

We need Blake Masters for liberty!

[@adamhenrywalker]

Blake or Abe, doesn't matter who, as long as it's one of them. Don't vote for Toma!

[@TheRealUSArmy]

Masters ftw

[@j.robbins8000]

It's amazing that all of these candidates who want to overthrow our U.S. democracy and ignore the AZ & U.S. Constitution want power to do so. Vote Blue 2024

[@adamhenrywalker]

Lmao you are gay

[@barrydavey7188]

Vote SMART, vote BLUE!!!

[@sunshine-xy3nr]

dont you see what is going with our country and you still belongs to blue? anyway that is your right to choose wrong,

[@MoonChild-cq1ml]

Hamadeh for the win.

[@debbielesko7548]

Great job Ben Toma. Ben is a solid conservative with a track record of getting things done.

[@adamhenrywalker]

No he's the worst option

[@prettysavage87]
