Just keep in mind if you examine the Arizona Republican Senate primary...Kelli ward would have either won or come darn close to winning if the spoiler Sheriff, Arpaio was not in the race to take away votes from her. We see what develops Monday morning from Governor, Ducey.
Close is not good enough. The winner (I forgot her name) won a majority of the vote and Ward won’t be appointed - it’s temporary anyway. The appointment is not going to change how the world works.
