Potential Spoiler Drops Out In AZ Senate Race, Now Ward Vs. McCain
Breitbart.com ^ | 1 Aug 2016 | Jen Lawrence

Sen. John McCain is facing a direct challenge now that Alex Meluskey has suspended his bid. That clears the way for Dr. Kelli Ward to attempt unite the Republican vote against McCain in the Arizona primary on August 30. Polls show McCain struggling to rise above forty percent in the Republican primary, but so far he’s benefited from the anti-McCain vote being split among several challengers.

A Public Policy Polling survey of the Republican Primary showed former State Senator Ward tied with McCain 41-41 head-to-head but trailing 39-26 when three other candidates were included in the poll. One of those three candidates, Scott McBean, failed to turn in enough signatures to make the ballot. With Meluskey’s campaign suspension, only perennial candidate Clair Van Steenwyk remains. Van Steenwyk polled last in the PPP survey with just 2 percent compared to Meluskey’s 4 percent and McBean’s 3 percent. Van Steenwyk isn’t expected to rise above low single digits.

McCain’s playing the military card hard this time, constantly running a commercial with grim-sounding Middle East veterans calling Ward “soft on ISIS.” I haven’t seen him do that before, so he is clearly worried.

My gut instinct says that McCain is entrenched and will win the primary. I’d love to be wrong.

The hint of hope that McCain and Ryan will get Cantorized is tantalizing.

Maybe he’ll show up in Wikileaks and we’ll know his true involvement in Syria

So, will Trump appear with Ward? It’s a repubbie primary, but the GROPe are fighting him everywhere - and now more openly than ever before.

“So, will Trump appear with Ward?”

Great question! Trump will be in AZ on Tuesday. The timing here is interesting. My bets are on Ward appearing with Trump at the rally.

McCain is soft in the head. Actually, mush in the head.

This is very good news. Was at a Ward fundraiser Friday night. Well attended.
