Doug Ducey rules out run for Senate (poor Mitch)

Gov. Doug Ducey closed the door on a bid for Arizona's highly competitive Senate seat, a blow to the Republican Party establishment while satiating the Trump wing.

The term-limited governor told donors in a letter he was an executive "by nature and by training" and that he would instead focus on rallying support for Republicans in competitive races across the state, capitulating to the express wishes of former President Donald Trump that he sit out.

Mitch couldn't convince Sununu, Ducey or Hogan to run for Senate.

Yeah, Mitch doesn’t seem to have much influence even with the gop establishment types. Wonder why. What do they know that causes them to ignore him?

There are good candidates running. I actually had a bet with one of those candidates, Blake Masters, that Ducey would not run. I won the $1. HAHAHAHAH

Gov. Ducey did little to almost nothing to protect Arizonans from the Biden Regime’s Covid lunacy. He also caved to the teachers union on masking in schools and to the unions “Red for Ed” scam.

Base Republicans in Arizona will never vote for Doug D-Bage again because he is a weak, lying, GOPe fool.

"Mitch couldn't convince Sununu, Ducey or Hogan to run for Senate."

It is because the Republican base hates them too much to ever vote for them again.

Ducey is highly unpopular in the Prescott area.

I am strongly leaning for Blake Masters.

The writer needs to go back to school. The Trump wing won’t be satiated until every last Republican stands for America.

One less Bush League Republican.

We have to reduce their numbers.

Thune, Crapo, Moran, Scott, Lee, Murkowski, Grassley, Young, Lankford, Boozman, and the Amnesty Senators Rubio and Hoeven all need to be replaced.

We will not get new leadership without new membership.

Well, there are four good candidates already in running. All seem pretty good. I like general Mick.

You mean gratifying the republican base? Whose idiot idea was it to do that.

Maybe Mitch can get that RINO/corrupt/coward Brnovich to jump in and save the Establishment! Failing that, he can just send money to the Democrat because that’s better than getting a real conservative into the Senate.

Perhaps we can get another one in there when the Governor of South Carolina appoints a conservative to replace Light Loafers Linda after Putin’s hit squad takes him out.

Wet finger….realize that the people hate you and the political winds are not in your favor. Ego can’t handle that kind of defeat.

And if he had listens to the people, helped and supported the audit and went after the Maricopa Cty as he should have, he could have been a contender.

But, NOPE
