The bit of good news in this is that she apparently moved from a purple district to an at least somewhat red statewide office (if she wins).

And Ward, while an actual conservative, seems time and again not to be a great candidate. In this as in most cases, before taking office, the GOP candidate must defeat a Democrat.

If the rumor is correct and Ducey is going to name an actual conservative rather than a McCain family member, then at least the net effect will be to go from two traitorous “GOP” senators from the state to at worst one such, with the other at least more conservative and honorable.

Thanks for injecting some sanity into the thread! I’m going to give McSally the benefit of the doubt. She was an A-10 driver and unlike McCain, she didn’t get blown out of the sky. She’s also been fighting for the military to maintain its A-10 squadrons. Unlike most in Congress, she’s been there, done that.

I suspect McSally is sufficiently astute to act more conservative in response to answering to the entire state instead of just Tucson. I don't like her, but I sure as heck will vote for her in November. We cannot afford to let a Democrat take the seat and block judges, attack Trump 24/7, support impeachment, etc!
