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.
Unlikely to who?
Arizona appears to be filled with (fill-in-the-blank) voters.
Is it the sun, the heat, or the lack of water?
Crazy...Flake and McNasty
She needs to not run. I like her a lot but she needs to stand aside and let some time pass.
Who is the young Hispanic in the state senate? He is a natural and would take out Flake easily
Muslims are rather closely and rightly identified as scorpions. There are no “harmless” Muslims, they all are but one flash-point away from going all Jihadist.
And you cannot be nice to a scorpion. They do not reciprocate.
It’s sad because, nothing is going to change under Trump.
Trump’s win will have been a good thing, but not have any bearing on the Muslim takeover.
She should simply be deported.
She’s Muslim she should be used to hateful attacks ,Oh wait these are at her ,D’oh
Muslims should not be allowed to run for public office. Furthermore, muslims should not be allowed in this country. They’re insidiously injecting themselves into our political system. A slow jihad, if you will. Not good.
Anyone who would vote for a muslim candidate is either an islamist him or herself, or an islmaist facilitator.
There is no third possibility.
I take it they’ve confirmed she is Muslim?
I know an Abboud family. They’re Christians from Syria.
In December 2015, as then-candidate Donald Trump was inflaming rallies with harsh rhetoric toward Muslims, Flake and his family attended the Friday noon service at a Scottsdale mosque.
"I'll bet you never thought you'd see a Mormon speaking in a mosque," he told the worshipers. "This is a surprise to me, too."
I must've been asleep back then 'cause this is the first I've heard of it. Maybe he should invite her to his church. That would be a priceless photo-op. He's going out of his way to prove to us that he's NOT a republican.
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.

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.
TDS strikes again!
Flake is a flake and that is being kind.
This guy is a Flake...Arizona what are you doing?
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.
