As for Flake, he's going to have a Republican primary challenger next year for his seat: Kelli Ward. However, based on our experiences with trying to rid ourselves of John McCain, I'm not optimistic that we can get rid of Flake in 2018.

President TRump has had meetings with three potential primary challengers for Flake's spot on the ballot. I wouldn't assume that that a-hole is safe this time around.

(from her page)
Deedra is a recipient of the Martin Luther King Jr. Diversity Award in Tempe and the Martin Luther King Jr. Award presented by the Human Relations Commission in Phoenix.

Originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, Deedra moved to Phoenix in 1998. After 9/11, she launched and served as director for the Arizona chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-AZ) from 2001 to 2005. She was director of the Arizona chapter of the Muslim American Society’s Freedom Foundation, a Washington-based civil rights group, from 2005 to 2009. Deedra has also served on the boards of the Tempe Community Action Agency, Voices for Civil Dialogue, and the AZ Coalition on Migrant Rights. She has volunteered for Girls for Change and Interfaith Worker Justice.

In 2009, Deedra entered Summit Law School, graduating in 2012 and practicing immigration and estate planning law for nearly five years before deciding to return to community advocacy work during the 2016 election. “When I saw families, friends and neighbors being torn apart by the verbal attacks….I needed to be part of the movement to unite our communities, and move us forward with the American values that have always made us the most inspiring country in the world.”

Deedra and her three sisters were raised by a single mother, Jean Fullbright, who attended the state law enforcement training academy in Arkansas and became a sheriff’s deputy. Jean wanted to go after deadbeat dads and was later instrumental in creating child support enforcement efforts in Arkansas. “My mom became one of the most determined people I’ve ever known, reaching for something so much bigger than her.”

Deedra is married to Ali Abboud, an entrepreneur and CEO of his family’s international companies in construction and manufacturing. The couple have been married since 1999 and live in Scottsdale.

I pulled this blurb from Abboub’s website:

REPRODUCTION

“Across the country, we are seeing attacks on women’s sexual freedom...Highly personal decisions should be made by individuals with a minimum of interference from the government and should never be based on government religious interpretation.”

Yeah right, does this Democratic Muslim activist, who is a lawyer, not know that under the laws of her own religion she’s only a piece of meat?

I take it they’ve confirmed she is Muslim?

One look at her webstie will clear up any doubts on that matter.

Having said that, one look at her stand on the issues would make me far less likely to vote for her than her religion would.

Sorry, you are mostly right. Republican congressional and state primaries are mixed. 36% of the state voters are unaffiliated (the largest group of voters in the state). Unaffiliated swing voters may choose which party’s ballot they will vote on. These Unaffiliated voters are the ones that keep electing RINOs in primaries.

So, in a way we are both right.

What, no transgender group affiliation? I’m sure that’s coming next.

She needs the black and/or burlap mask immediately, mercifully.

Flake’s gotta go. He’s completely worthless.

I’m very happy that President Trump has this loser in his crosshairs for the 2018 elections.

White-knight Cucks just have to keep on Cucking. Republicans have become a more and more pathetic party, as they seem to be taken over by the Cucks. Guaranteed this action would not, and will not, be reciprocated.

What is it about Arizona? Do all politicians from AZ become traitors? Remember when McCain scolded people for mentioning Obama’s middle name, “Hussein”?

That suffocating headbag HAS to affect a Muslimah’s thinking.

Her scowl and displayed Koran say a lot, too.

Kelli Ward is terrific and would be a great senator but it is extremely hard to get rid of our incumbents here as she learned against McCain last time when he spent tens of millions of dollars to personally destroy her and JD Hayworth learned six years ago when he did the same thing against McCain. With the bully pulpit and money of Donald Trump he could probably put her over the top but one of the other Challengers is Jeff DeWitt who is very close to Trump. He played a major role in his campaign and is the COO of the Trump campaign. he is also the state treasurer of Arizona right now. My money is on the Dewitt. Trump will come to Arizona and campaign for him and write him a big fat personal check and that will be once and for all the end of Flake. While I’m dreaming big I’ll also predict that in the next couple of weeks by death or resignation of McCain Arizona will have Congressman Franks or Congressman Gosar as our new senator, both excellent men.

Anyone who votes for a moozlum is either self-loathing or an idiot...or both. They want you and your family submitted or dead.
