Hugh Hewitt said Dr. Kelli Ward is not capable of being a senator, andif she beats Flake, a Democrat will take that seat.
I was so angry when I heard that. I tweeted him that he was wrong and should interview her.
He talked about Flake’s conservative rating. I guess it doesn’t matter that he voted for McMuffin and is blatantly anti-President Trump.
I’m no fan of Hewitt, but as an Arizona resident who contributed to Dr. Ward’s failed run against Senator McCain, I’m afraid he may be correct. Flake is very unpopular among AZ Republicans, so may very well lose the primary to Dr. Ward.
However, she will then be up against Kirsten Sinema, who will likely be a formidable opponent. KS has been a US Representative since 2012, and has vigorously worked to become widely known outside of her base in Tucson.
Sinema’s a woman, a Mormon, and a political centrist (US Chamber of Commerce endorsement), all of which play well in this State. She’s also an open bisexual (Local appeal? Not so much).
Donations to Ward’s campaign will be needed if she’s to have a better chance at her Senate run this time.
I stopped listening to Hugh Hewett last year when he jumped on the Never-Trumper bandwagon. He apparently jumped back off sometime after that, but who cares? I’m not surprised he did that to Kelli Ward. Total RINO.
