I’d rather nominate McSally and have a 50% chance of getting a Senator with an 85 ACU rating than nominate Ward and have a 20% chance of getting a Senator with (if her deeds end up matching her words) a 95 ACU rating (and an 80% chance of getting a Senator with a 10% ACU rating).
Kelli Ward has served, what, 2 years as a state legislator in a safely GOP district a few years ago? Given her lack of electoral and political experience, she should run for the House in a safely GOP CD and use the next few years to prove her conservative bona fides and gain political and electoral experience. I hope that, when John McCain joins the Choir Invisible, Gov. Ducey appoints Congressman Paul Gosar (who has had a conservative voting record in the House and already has represented around 20% of AZ voters in Congress) to the Senate seat, and I also hope that Ward replaces Gosar as the GOP AZ-04 nominee in November (and, if there’s a special election for the rest of Gosar’s House term, that she runs and wins it).
She won’t be voting an 85 rating in the Senate. I guarantee it will plummet like a stone once in office. Any sucker who buys what she claims deserves to get hosed. You guys are way too smart to fall for this again.
Ward served 3 years in the State Senate. She got 40% against the treasonous McQueeg, despite being massively outspent and the Establishment working overtime to destroy her candidacy.
She doesn’t have to prove her bonafides, she already did in the AZ Senate. Marfa McQueeg, by comparison, has proven she’s nothing but another non-Conservative RINO and puppet for the corrupt Establishment.
