Former Trump Operatives Sign On With Kelli Ward to Defeat #NeverTrump RINO Jeff Flake
thegatewaypundit.com ^ | Aug 11th, 2017

Posted on 08/11/2017 7:06:05 AM PDT by Helicondelta

The Daily Caller reported:

Dr. Kelli Ward, who unsuccessfully challenged Sen. John McCain in the 2016 primaries, is now taking on Sen. Jeff Flake in the 2018 Arizona Senate primary.

“I, as well as others, are frustrated with Senator Flake’s weak style,” Ward told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview Thursday. “He hasn’t accomplished a thing in D.C., and his values do not align with the people of Arizona.”

Ward is bringing on two political operatives with ties to the president, Eric Beach and Brent Lowder. The two men will serve as general consultants for the campaign, TheDCNF has learned.

Beach is the founder and co-chair of Great America PAC, and Lowder is it’s executive director. The Great America PAC raised and spent close to $30 million in support of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

And there’s this…

Just this week, it was revealed that conservative billionaire and Trump benefactor Robert Mercer would be contributing $300,000 to a super PAC supporting a primary challenger to Arizona GOP Sen. Jeff Flake.

When Mccain kicks the bucket do they appoint or hold election in Arizona?

McCain needs to go. People of Arizona need to demand his resignation. He’s unfit to serve.

Conservatives need to be sure they have TWO candidates for the the Senate from AZ.

Who should the AZ Guv select to replace McCain when the time comes?

That is likely to come before the 2018 election for Flake’s seat.

The Amnesty Senators MUST be removed from office.

Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake in 2018

Graham and Alexander in 2020

Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022

God is taking out McCain for us.

The Republican Guv must appoint a Republican to replace McCain, when that time comes.

Likely before the 2018 elections for Flake’s seat.

My guess is the AZ GOP already has McSally in mind, she is a Cheap Labor Express stooge, just like McCain and Flake.

An experienced operative will tell her: run once you will lose. Run a second time you’ll win. McCain was too big. Flake is a smaller target who is setting himself up to drop out.

So who are the likely candidates to replace Mccain?

Can you imagine Mccain dying after election. Flake losing..then getting appointed to Mccains position.. Sheesh..I know it wont happen..but it is Arizona.

Or.. I believe AZ has a law that the Gov must appoint someone from the same party. I could see the vindictive bastard McTraitor switching parties just before he dies.

OMG...you are right. I could see him doing that..but I think his long term legacy might prevent him.

I don’t know. He is a nut case.

I’m hoping that Gov. Ducey names Ward to replace McCain after he steps down.

. “He hasn’t accomplished a thing in D.C.,


Flake has accomplished a lot in DC.

He has self promoted himself into a very nice job as a Senator.

He just spends all of his efforts on self promotion and helping the special interests, many foreign, that keep him in power and he has no time or political capitol left for his constituents so he totally screws the state of Arizona. .

I think McCain will step down before Nov. 2018.

#13 "Can you imagine Mccain dying after election. Flake losing..then getting appointed to Mccains position."

Good God in Heaven! McCain is evil enough to clutch on to life by his fingernails, surviving on bile and vitriol, to pull this off as his last "accomplishment". Say it ain't so!
