I’ve never believed in the “3rd person party spoiler excuse.” If Ward was on her game and gave the electorate a clear message that was succinct and on point with conservative values then Arapaio wouldn’t have garnered one percent of the vote. When you’re off message and aren’t appealing to voters you give them all the more reason to back someone other than you.
McSally won because of money, more than anything else.
Ward spent far less than a million.
Money spent on McSally was over seven million, I have read.
The airwaves were flooded with third party ads against Ward.
Seven million is cheap for a Senate seat for the next 30 years.
McSally-McCain was backed by some “Main Street” coalition
of Establishment Crooks (lots of bucks), she said she backed Trump’s Agenda, she has voted with him over 90% of the time, she has an essentially a conservative record, she was promoted as a military hero and I think Ward ran before in AriZona and lost.
All reasons why.
At any rate, light years ahead of her opponent, and, unlike the maggot Hugin in New Joisey, she had NOT attacked Trump and supports his agenda.
ELECT HER!!!!!!!
Ask Lou Dobbs who he prefers to support a border wall. McSally or Ward. He interviewed both. Ward hands down. I’m predicting the democrat will win this seat. Maybe Doucey will appoint a conservative to replace
McTraitor but if it turns out to be Cindy McCain she’s as liberal as Nancy Pelosi.
The truth is Ward easily won where they knew her. The problem is central and southern AZ simply don’t know her and frankly they have a 50/50 conservative/leftist population which hurts Arizona. Damn leftists have been moving to AZ for decades from skunk holes like CA, WA, and Oregon.
McSally had the name recognition and the TV time both locally and nationally. This is how the republican party rigs elections for the candidate they want. Only someone like Trump with his own national name recognition can overcome that kind of election rigging. There’s nothing fair about elections these days. Not sure there ever was.
