It is obvious that Arpaio entered the race to be a spoiler against Kelly Ward.
I suspect the McConnell team put him up to it. Despicable, predictable, and likely, effective.
This is the RINO that Arpaio will help elect to the US senate, he was
Undoubtedly paid off by tbe establishment. I used to have a lot of respect for him. No more.
President Trump could have put him up to it as well. He probably knows that his base prefers Ward to McSally and also knows that Ward has been a staunch supporter but believes Ward might be more of a risk in the general election. After Alabama, Trump can't afford to lose a Senate seat.
McSally is a safe choice. She'll support his agenda items and the same voters who sent McCain to the Senate repeatedly will ensure she gets to DC to do this.
Notice Trump has not offered his endorsement, --yet.
I expect there will be a Monday night tweet endorsing McSally, much to Ward's disappointment.
McCain’s seat will have an interim appointment, but when will they have to actually vote on it? With Sessions it was about a year, wasn’t it?
I’m betting on Megan McCain being her dad’s replacement. That’s why Abby Huntsman went to The View. They don’t need 2 conservatives on the view. Just my speculation, but that’s where I’d put my money. That would put Ward against McCain in the special election. Assuming Ward loses this primary.
