I can’t agree with that at all. Dr. Ward had the intestinal fortitude to take on the AZ RINO political machine not once but twice, and she was far outmatched the first time in resources, but still held McQueeg to a subpar margin in the primary. Her entry into the Senate race the second time all but scared Flake out. I have no hesitation to back her 100% for this Senate seat.
As for McSally, the whole point was to run a RINO embarrassment out of one of the Senate seats. McSally IS the choice of the McQueeg/Flake RINO machine and will be yet another colossal embarrassment and thorn in the ass of those seeking to Drain the Swamp. If our side has to resort to running even more left-wing candidates than the execrable incumbents, what the hell, then, is the point ?
As with the equally horrid Joe Heck in NV, whom I viewed as so bad, I made a last minute endorsement of Sharron Angle to defeat him and refused to endorse him in the general (and you know how bad he had to be and indeed turned out was for me to endorse someone I viscerally opposed in the 2010 Senate primary), I would equally refuse to endorse McSally in the general election, just as I refused with Flake in 2012.
This would be as bad for me in Tennessee if I were to endorse leftist RINO La Raza Randy Boyd for Governor to succeed RINO Haslam. As I said a long time ago, I am absolutely done endorsing these types of RINOs who are as far afield from my values and beliefs as can possibly be.
Well, DJ, I hope that you’re happy with Senator Cortez Masto from Nevada. You won’t have to worry about the 20% of the time in which a Senator Heck wouldn’t vote with us, since Cortez Masto won’t vote with us 90% of the time.
Oh, and the Swamp ain’t getting drained if we’re in the minority. President Trump is making great progress with judicial nominees, but only because there are 52 (it will be down to 51 when Jones is sworn in) Republicans in the Senate; if we only had 48 Republican Senators instead, either Trump would have ended up nominating someone suggested by Chuck Schumer or Scalia’s seat still would be vacant.
I frankly couldn’t care less about Kelli Ward’s intestinal fortitude if she’s going to display it while losing to a liberal Democrat in a U.S. Senate race. Martha McSally has proven that she can win tough races, including getting 57% in a district carried by Hillary over Trump by a 5% margin, and in 2017 she has voted the same as President Trump’s position 96.4% of the time (and one of her votes that went contrary to Trump’s position was when she voted for sanctions against North Korea, Iran and Russia, for which I would have voted as well. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/martha-mcsally/ I reiterate my support for Martha McSally for the U.S. Senate and Kelli Ward for the U.S. House (from AZ-04).
