I was hoping the critically damaged Flake would retire, to give us an opportunity to find a top tier conservative, pro-President candidate to run. Forgive me but I’m not sold on Ward and with Flake out there is no reason to pledge allegiance to her candidacy. I don’t rule her out of course but this is an opportunity to shop around.
“Bannon vs. McConnell” proxy war doesn’t interest me, electing a Republican Senator that will beat the lesbian democrat and that will vote conservative without constantly attacking his own parties’ President, does.
Indeed, Arizona has many good choices, with Trent Franks, Dave Schweikert, Paul Goser and ex-Rep. Matt Salmon (although he might be done with elected politics) all possibilities. Treasurer Jeff DeWit is floated as a possibility too, although I really don’t know much about him.
Well said!
