Joe Arpaio to run for Maricopa County sheriff in 2020

He helped screw up the Senate Race and helped the RATS.

Martha McSally is the single worst Senate candidate I have ever seen. She is going to lose to Mark Kelly next year. She needs to be replaced.

You know with the anger over illegal immigration people are FED UP he just might win!!!

There is no shortage of Republicans who are against illegal immigration, but Sheriff Joe was a good sheriff mainly because he was tough on crime in general, and tended to be creative in making jail uncomfortable.

He had no business running for U.S. Senate, and his run split the conservative vote and gave us an untalented moderate (McSally) to run against a competant but very beatable candidate (Sinema).

We have to think of the future, and while I would vote for Arpaio in a general election, I don't see myself supporting him in a primary if there is a reasonable alternative.

Problematic as the illegals are, the drug-addicted panhandlers are a bigger part of the everyday life of most Phoenicians, at least in my part of the city, and in many others, and in Mesa, too.

Or has yet to find a suitable successor

he was in office for 24 years after another full career. He had time to find a woman, have several children with each of them, raise all one of them to adulthood to his own exacting standards and discipline and hold a deathmatch competition amongst them to determine a worthy successor from his own bloodline.

In his long career, he had a staff. A cadre of supposedly qualified people who supported his efforts. Undoubtably, some of those staff were long time assistants and confidantes. Never, in the waning years of his 24 year career, did he look at even one of them and say, you know this one has it. Once I hang it up, he'll be a worthy person to sit in my chair.

It's absolute hogwash that he couldn't find a worthy successor in 24 years.

You’re right.

What we have now in Penzone is total opposite of Joe. Penzone is pro-illegal immigration and crime, in my opinion, is on the rise here.

[TianaHighrider]

I totally forgot about him splitting the vote that time.

[Still Thinking]

Geez, as much as I love the guy, he’s like a thousand. Time to retire. If you don’t like the job the new guy is doing, find an electable alternative and get him elected.

“Super Bowl XXX was the first major sports event that didn’t have riots. Sheriff Joe warned the attendees that they would reside in “tent city “ and wear pink underwear if they created trouble.”

This alone makes him head and shoulders above the rest.

A man who keeps his word is a man with which to deal.

“Get Off My Lawn” comes to mind.

[Viking2002]

Well, if he can still handle it, good on him. If I make it to 87, my biggest wish will be to be able to get out of my rocker so I can go pee.

[joma89]

Great news! But he needs to build a replacement. Get your deputy in front of the camera so that person can win the next election.

And Trump even gave him a pardon.

I think Sheriff Joe might be kind of an a$$hole.

[Zathras]

Joe split the ticket which gave us McSally.
He was funded by Democrats to do exactly this.
