Playbook, page 3 - if an incumbent will potentially lose to a conservative challenger, force incumbent to step aside, so replacement candidate can be nominated to thwart such conservative challenger from securing the nomination.

GOP sources told the outlet that McSally has become the consensus candidate of lawmakers and donors...


The Deep State likes to make sure junior reps start out right. Bought and paid for.

Gop consultard/ establishmentard logic : If a Rino incumbent is badly losing to a conservative challenger, find an exact replacement of the incumbent and run him or her against the challenger.

Trump met with Jeff DeWitt and Robert Graham about running against Flake back in August. Perhaps one of those two should be the one to support?

Martha is another RINO. She refuses to support Trump or even give him credit for any good deeds. Her biggest accomplishment is saving the A-10. Woop te do!

Republican Rep. Martha McSally of Arizona is emerging as the GOP establishment's favorite to replace retiring Sen. Jeff Flake.

This BS statement says more about the true insidious nature of Business Insider than about the AZ Senate race.

I was listening to a religious radio station yesterday with some talk show on, not sure if it was Jay Sekulow, may have been.

But the airtime was being taken up by an interview with someone from “Club for Growth” listing almost every Republican politician in the state except Kelli Ward as a potential replacement for Flake.

The Republican Establishment even uses religious broadcasting to push its agenda.

We’re now starting to WIN these battles. Sally can try, but Kelli has Trump’s and Bannon’s following and that’s all that is needed. The only thing that worries me is if McCain goes back home to North Vietnam soon and has to be replaced...then things get interesting there soon.

Any Republican who has said anything negative about Trump cannot survive a primary challenge.

It’s an axiom you can take to the bank.

From the article:

” “If the McConnell establishment runs another ‘Never Trumper’ in Arizona like Martha McSally, expect the full weight of the president’s America First movement to come down upon her like a ton of bricks,” Andy Surabian, an adviser to the Trump-aligned Great America Alliance and a close Bannon adviser, told US News.

Several influential conservative groups, including the Club for Growth and FreedomWorks, said Friday they would oppose a McSally run. “

That tells you all you need to know.

She will have a sudden change of heart.

I’d like all the outside money and influence to stay out of the race and let Arizonans decide for themselves.

Wouldn’t that be a nice Constitutional change of pace for our elective process.

McSally won’t have a chance as a NeverTrumper. Nobody in Arizona is going to put up with a new Jeff Flake in drag.

The Establishment supporters of St Jeffy had already raised a lot of money for him ($4.3 million). What Jeffy got for it was an 18 percent approval rating and losing to Kelli Ward by 25 plus percent.
