I asked for her opinion about Arpaio and she gave me an ear full. She pretty much agrees with your assessment of him, so I asked her why he gets reelected, she says he's the darling of conservatives because he appears to be tough on crime but in reality he is tough on those awaiting trial and haven't been convicted of anything yet.
She also thinks that not only Arapio has cost the tax payers a lot of money needlessly through law suits against the county and himself but will eventually end up in one of his own tents.
Anybody want to call me a liberal for not buying into this guys hype, have at it.
Your daughter is right. He panders to the Sun City crowd. Most of them will NEVER end up in Tent City, so they don't care what goes on there....like the freepers who have commented here, yet live far away.
The Sun City crowd is what keeps him in power, along with the media. However, his popularity has been waning over the last few years as more and more people "catch on" to him, so fortunately his days in power are numbered.
When Ole Joke senses the wind has finally changed is when he will suddenly decide he's served "the people" long enough and go quietly into the sunset.
When he's really gone, then we'll hear the truth about him.
I'm counting the days....
