That should not matter. When you vote in the primaries you vote for policy and ideology. It takes discipline to do that.

That's true, however, if it all ends up with a D in the Senate, where's the win?

Defeating an establishment RINO is always a win. If Flake wins the Ryanos will make hay out of it and the nationalists lose more clout.

Would be good to have an organizational structure to ensure that happens. The RNC and GOP are obviously useless.

Before proving his tendency towards liberalism in the Senate, Pat Toomey had a decent national program where he raised funds for the favorable candidates. I don’t recall the name. Maybe Palin could get active on that front. Or somebody else. But search and funding for the alternative Primary candidates must begin as soon as possible.

32.5% Jeff Flake 40.5% Kyrsten Sinema

And here’s is how Flake wins. The GOPe knows it and it is what they will do. Split the vote

? Sinema is the Rat.

Q. If the General Election for United States Senate were held today, would you vote for [Rotate] Kelli Ward or Kyrsten Sinema?

30.5% Kelli Ward
31.8% Kyrsten Sinema
37.8% Don’t know, Refused

The survey was conducted on August 18-19th and the margin of error of the survey is ±4.88% with 95% confidence.

Time to make an example out of him. Kind of like the Texas Ranger quelling a riot- just shoot the first one, the rest chill out.

Old but still funny. A Texas Ranger was at a social gathering wearing his sidearm. A lady asked him if he was expecting trouble. He said, "No Mame, if I was expecting trouble I would have brought my rifle."

“Can Ward beat Sinema?”
*********************
Yes, she can that bisexual ‘RAT in the general election. My biggest fear is that, now that Flake has been shown to be VERY unpopular, others will enter the primary and end up splitting the anti-Flake vote allowing him to slip in with only a plurality. Arizona does not have primary runoffs.

It’s almost certainly too high for Flake-—but I’ve told the Ward campaign to completely ignore this, and any other poll showing her up.

The media will ONLY tout polls showing her support falling, so forget polls entirely.

I think she can beat him like a drum, but must work like she’s behind.

Are you saying only a betraying liberal scumsucker like Flake can beat the real thing in Arizona? A real conservative can’t win here? You watch too much CNN.

Polling will say the D wins. It’s the Arizona People’s Republic, a dreadful communist newspaper.

Ask yourself, will Arizona elect Tammy Baldwin? Because that’s who the Democrat is just like.

You seem to like Flake. We already have McCain. Having two of them sucks even more.

I don’t watch CNN at all. I was asking a question.
