Finding a good conservative candidate as an alternative to an establishment candidate needs to be more than about a checklist of where they stand on the issues - that's a big part of it - but being a good and viable candidate is more than issues - stage appearance, how you present yourself, and basic sanity also must be considered...and this lady apparently doesn't have it. I'm beginning to think Joe Arpaio is in the race at the behest of Trump or someone else deliberately to split votes away from her and perhaps with good reason.

Dumb, Dumb and dumber.

Are there any sane politicians in Arizona?

[right way right]

I thought it was more timed as a glitch in the handing over Russia dossier info to the Senate investigation committee. Anyway, the Doc seems to have a poor public bedside manner.

I agree with Kelly Ward. McCain was probably in a coma on life support for weeks and his Machiavellion family and minions tried to time his death to overshadow the primary elections this Tuesday in Arizona. It was a stunt to boost the profiles of all RINOS in Arizona, scum like Jeff Flake and Grant Woods. They may have also wanted to elbow Kelli Ward as she is 100 percent in Trump’s camp.

[CharlesWayneCT]

This was just a stupid thing to do. Why is it hard to find good conservative candidates who aren’t also stupid?

[Luke21]

Is that you, Martha?

[DoodleDawg]

Keep it classy, Kelli. </sarcasm>

Ward knows she has no chance. McSally is running a brilliant ad against certain Dem opponent Kirsten Sinema that both hurts Sinema and projects the image of an already-nominated candidate. She deserves the nod, and we all have to make sure Sinema is defeated, and soundly.

Anyone see an actual date on that facebook post?

I did not, and it references the kickoff of Kelly Wards Bus tour, not the end of it. The end of it was on Saturday.

Could this be fake news?

In this campaign, I have seen a lot of things taken out of context by Kelly Ward's opponents, and used against her.

[TigersEye]

Not the sharpest cactus spine in the state is she?

[bert]

Charisma....... that’s the ticket.

[Alas Babylon!]

SMH.

It maybe true, but she should’ve kept her mouth shut.

This won’t help her.

[plain talk]

“Kelli Ward suggested Saturday that the statement issued Friday by U.S. Sen. John McCain’s family about ending treatment for brain cancer was intended to hurt her U.S. Senate campaign.”

What a stupid remark. Sure — McCain timed his death to hurt her campaign. McCain had terminal brain cancer FCOL. It’s all about her.

A candidate has to be able to stand up under pressure without imploding and making lame statements that will come back to haunt them.

[jimfree]

While the release may have been politically motivated, she just lost a bunch of votes by blowing up about it. Not a good idea. In the late June Maryland primary, we had only a couple of serious contenders. One campaign brought up a bogus accusation against my favored candidate who did win. The complaining candidate dropped to third. Sad.

[BobL]

I guess she really didn’t want to win the Primary. In any case, McSally is certainly better than Ward doing something like this and then going down in flames in November.

[Figment]

While what she said is likely true, it was stupid of her to say it. It may result in the end of her political career
