Kelli Ward refuses to say whether she'd back Rep. Martha McSally as Arizona Senate primary nears
CNN Politics ^ | July, 25, 2018 | Dan Merica

There is no love lost between state Sen. Kelli Ward and Rep. Martha McSally, the two top Arizona Republicans vying to represent the party in November's Senate election.

But their race has grown so contentious roughly a month before Republican voters pick their nominee that Ward, who's challenging McSally from the right, is making the case that it would be "disingenuous" for her to support McSally should the sitting congresswoman win the nomination.

Arizona is one of the few states where Democrats believe they are in a position to flip a Senate seat this fall. Arizona narrowly backed President Donald Trump in 2016, but Democrats believe that the state's demographics -- as well as the enthusiasm on the left -- could help deliver the Senate seat to Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, the Democrat in the race.

Folks, how is it looking for Ward? I think Joe is a great guy, but may prevent Ward from winning, in the end.

Joe needs to get the hell out of this race to stop Marfa McQueeg.

Arpaio should drop out.

He’s too old.

It looks to me that Joe Arpaio is doing the bidding of the GOPe. if he succeeds in allowing McSally to win, he will go down in history as a POS. Mc Sally is a McCain in a skirt ( or a Flake in a skirt ).

I agree and I wish he would drop out but doesn’t look likely.

If that happens, I’ll truly wish that President Trump left him to rot in prison.

McSally, sad to say, is a lib decrat in disguise.

I’d guess too late ballots likely typed with Joe on them......

Hoping Az can keep the seat Republican.

I’m reading that the Arizona Senate Primary is not until August 28th. So we have yet another month of this tightrope walking to endure. August is late to have a primary. I thought they were all done with that preliminary step.

This 3 way race may be senate seat suicide by ego. They slam each other, dilute the base and the dims plan on picking up the pieces.

Joe is being used as a blocker for McSallycain so AZ can keep two Amnesty Senators.

I would not vote for McSallycain if I were in AZ.
Bush League Republicans are worse than Democrats.

In the Prescott area McSally is running two TV ads which makes it look like Trump is backing her and that she strongly supports his immigration policies.

Ward is running one TV ad but I do not think it is effective. Have not seen any Arpaio TV ads.

I disagree with his running but you wouldn’t make a wart on Joe’s ass.

Joe Arpaio has something in common with Rudy Giuliani.
Both are stuck on their SuperStar public image from the past, and neither is willing to admit, it’s time to leave the stage in that capacity.

Maybe Kelli Ward should run for a House seat first.

She ran in 2016 against McCain and LOST. A head-to-head race against McCain. There were no 3rd-party candidates. What makes people think she's going to win in a 3-way primary race?

If she loses again, she needs to get behind McSally. Conservatives need to as well. Now's not the time to fart around and whine about the GOP not being pure enough. McSally has already said she's going to support Trump's initiatives and will vote for his judges.

“McSally has already said she’s going to support Trump’s initiatives and will vote for his judges. “

her word is no good - she changes her stance on things as needed. just saying things now to get elected.
