She has a lifetime ACU record of less than 72% Conservative — in just 3 years ! That’s terrible. She voted to the left of Flake (his lifetime rating is a 93%) (!), even McQueeg got an 81% lifetime. So that makes her technically WORSE than both. Ask Hildy about ole Marfa. She knows. Marfa McQueeg, with a worse record than the treacherous, treasonous Senate twins.
Dr. Ward had a 98% lifetime Conservative rating from the ACU. It is unimaginable to support someone who isn’t even a Conservative for this seat.
ACU ratings aren’t my be all end all.
I totally reject the “she’s worse than McCain” argument. She’s definitely better than today’s McCain and better than today’s Jeff Flake as well, what they were before they started to be total a-holes is irrelevent. Her Trump score is higher than both. Her precious ACU rating for last year is a just fine 85 so trashing her to the level you are is hyperbolic.
As for Ward somewhat more conservative for a markedly decreased chance of beating SINEMA is not a good trade off. I don’t care how much red meat Ward is serving. Sharron Angle and Roy Moore served up red meat and all it gave us was the runs.
“Dr. Ward had a 98% lifetime Conservative rating from the ACU.”
You meant to say that “Dr. Ward received a 98% ACU rating in 2015, the only time that ACU scored her voting record.”
2015 is also the year in which Kelli Ward announced that she was anti-abortion, renouncing her 2012 position that abortion was a decision “between a woman and her doctor.”
I’m not saying that Kelli Ward is not a conservative, or even that she’s not more conservative than Martha McSally; but Ward’s political views are a work in progress, and we don’t know how she would handle tough votes in Washington when she’s being pulled in different directions. But more importantly (at least in my eyes), Ward needs to gain additional experience and improve her political profile before she’d be my preferred choice to take on an experienced bullsh1t artist like Sinema in a U.S. Senate election. Sinema is as liberal as they come, but she cleans up nice and knows how to project a moderate image when it suits her, and the AZ GOP needs to bring its A Game. I’m not sure that McSally is an A, but she’s probably an A-, and I think that she has a much better chance than Ward of beating Sinema in November.
