Last night, Blake Masters won the Republican nomination for US Senate from Arizona -- he will face off against incumbent Mark Kelly in the Fall.

A reminder from this past June: Blake Masters wants to privatize Social Security, and said so out loud.

BLAKE MASTERS: We got to cut the knot at some point, though, because I'll tell you what, I'm not going to receive Social Security. I'm a millennial. ...We need fresh and innovative thinking. Maybe we should privatize Social Security. Private retirement accounts, get the government out of it.

Don't forget that the Republican Senate Campaign Committee Chairman, Rick Scott, has promised in his "11-point plan" to "sunset" Social Security and Medicare.

It's time to ask your boomer friends and relatives if they really think the party that is willing and able to take bodily autonomy away from over half the US population won't touch their retirement to make Wall Street richer.

And don't forget, Blake Masters is totally willing to reverse gay marriage, even though is billionaire sponsor, Peter Thiel, is gay.

“My, you know, former boss and mentor Peter Thiel is gay. I went to his wedding like, you know, I’m—it was great, I wish him well. I don’t think the Supreme Court should have decided that case that way,” Masters said. He added that while he doesn’t think gay marriage is “the live issue right now,” he believes “marriage is between a man and a woman.”

Blake also has some issues with "the Blacks."
