McCain’s Grip On AZGOP Tightens, Seaton Raising Questions

The McCain machine operates in part to ensure that populist or conservative candidates do not make it out of Republican primaries. Only the most mega-corporate-friendly candidates and their consultants are granted access to all of the Party’s resources. McCain’s stable of candidates this year include Tiffany Shedd, running in CD1, Rep. Martha McSally, running to replace Sen. Jeff Flake, Lea Marquez Peterson, running in CD2, and Governor Doug Ducey.

Popular challengers State Sen. Steve Smith, former State Sen. Dr. Kelli Ward, Brandon Martin, and former Secretary of State Ken Bennett are generally denied equal access to the Party apparatus.

In the case of Ward and Bennett the attacks from the Republican “establishment” have been blistering.

McCain’s “grip” on the AZ GOP ends the minute he dies. He is far too divisive for any of his influence to last.

John McCain is a curse on America. Unless he repents of his evil our country will be blessed by his death.

But by now, with McCain literally dying in front of their eyes - if not already comatose and undead-but-by-name-only - does “he” actually have any power? Or is it HIS CAMPAIGN money/staff/senate staff and consultants.

Mainly consultants probably.

Follow the money, follow the power.

Never heard of Tiffany Shedd.

If she has a big farm in Eloy, it means she employs armies of illegals to pick crops.

Just another cheap labor Amnesty Queen.

I cannot argue with that at all.

John McCain is a one man plague.

Is he dying or is he pretending. It seems that Dying men don’t get prosecuted.

We don’t know. I suspect, and not really very cynically, that McCain is being kept alive on a breathing tube/artificial food EXPLICITLY BECAUSE he refused to die yet (while Trump could use a Nov election of an non-McCain-chosen successor.

And, more important, just to spite Trump with the threat of 50 votes. And Mississppi’s Senator is equally invlaid.

Yep, right on the cutting edge of McCain.
Looks like a 8 year old did the website after being handed the buzz words.

The Arizonans for decades have willingly allowed themselves to be cursed.

This confirms McCain is a dictator! Not a citizens representative.
