Dr. Ward is fighting an uphill battle against the McConnell machine, the McCain machine, and the Media.

And apparently, of all days, John McCain picked the day she kicked off her campaign to die and bury her in the headlines.

I would like to see her win the Senate seat.

It was the day he, or whoever delivered the message, picked to say he was not going to accept any more medication.

He was dead the next day.

It is likely he was being kept alive on life support.

As he had aggressive brain cancer, there could be some doubt that he was in a mental state capable of making such a decision.

Of course, no one is allowed to question the timing. It is politically incorrect to do so.

I doubt there is any video or any signed and dated document from Senator McCain as to his decision to discontinue medical treatment.

It is not allowed for anyone to ask for such proof.

“Dr. Ward is fighting an uphill battle against the McConnell machine, the McCain machine, and the Media.”

She’s also fighting an uphill battle against herself. Her statement that McCain timed his death to screw her in the Primary was not, exactly, Senatorial material. I prefer to see her defeated in August, rather than November.

Except, that was fake news. Here is her actual statement:

“According to screenshots of the conversation posted on Twitter by Arizona political reporters, the aide, Jonathan Williams, wondered if it was “just a coincidence” that the announcement of McCain ending medical treatment came the day Ward was launching a statewide bus tour, her big push before Tuesday’s primary.

Ward replied: “I think they wanted to have a particular narrative that is negative to me.”

I believe the ‘timing’ of his announcement was entirely due to the closeness of his death. Even I, a layperson, knows when someone with National visibility announces they are discontinuing medical care, they are a day or two from death. And Dr Ward. took the announcement personally? And she’s a doctor? Sorry. Clueless.

I have mixed feelings about McSally, while Dr. Ward has been extremely consistent, conservative and a serious Constitutionalist.

What we are seeing is the typical gaslighting of serious opponents to the establishment media power structure.

Ward does not have Billions to fight back with, like the President.

If Ward wins the primary (unlikely) she shows the media no longer controls the narrative. She has a good chance at the November election.

I doubt that will happen. The forces she is up against are simply too great.

They show how we end up with a questionable Senate, and a majority of Republicans in the House. The Media does not have the resources to concentrate power on all 435 House races every election.

They have the resources to concentrate on the dozen or so Senate races in contention.

"As he had aggressive brain cancer, there could be some doubt that he was in a mental state capable of making such a decision"...or such a statement oral or written

Who has been pulling the strings for the past several weeks?

That close to death, and you believe he was capable of making an informed decision, with an aggressive brain cancer?

It is possible. When was the last time Senator McCain was seen in public?

Dr. Ward merely mentioned a possibility, in response to a staffer.

*********************************
Actually, the timing of his death was tied to the turning off of life support. I’m of the opinion that he was kept on life support until right before the election.

“The difference from 2016 was the enormous amount of media ads in opposition to Dr. Ward. It is the worst case of taking words out of context and creating a false image...”

The operatives were posting that stuff here just the other day.

Exactly.

And look at all the people trying to pull their stuff to support the establishment swamp right here on this thread.

I didn’t say McCain made an announcement. I said the announcement usually comes a day or two before death. I am sure his family released it. I sure hope there isn’t some nefarious agreement between Cindy McCain and Ducey that will allow her to take the seat. IT ISN’T THE MCCAIN SEAT. It is one of two Arizona Senate seats. But back to the original point. For Dr Ward to take anything personal from it is ridiculous.

LOL...actually, I’m still in shock that we could nominate someone who can manage to LOSE a Senate seat in Alabama, of all states. She said enough to assure her DEFEAT in November, regardless of what the precise wording was...I’ve had enough of witches and differentiating between different types of rape.

I realize that the media will GREATLY magnify any mis-step by our side, so we sure as hell better run people who know how to stay clear of anything close. She DOES NOT have that capability.

Wow. So if someone doesn’t agree with your candidate, that person is automatically a swamp-dweller?? I voted for Trump in the Presidential Preference Poll. I have voted for Republicans for years. We (you and I) have a disagreement. Too many Republicans are sounding decidedly Democrat with all the smearing of others. Stop it.

I don’t - Flake endorsed her.
