Arpaio Running for US Senate
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-p...SKBN1EY1Z3

This is not good news for the GOP btw. I think that Flake's seat now looks like a real lean to the Dems now. And we can guarantee high Latino turnout as well.

This could flip a Senate seat (or two), the Governor's mansion, and 2 Congressional seats. Bonus points for it being next to another tough Senate defense race in a state with lots of Latino voters. By the way, Arpaio got tossed out of office in a nominally GOP county by the voters by 13% points. He ran 9 points behind Trump. There are many Republican voters that don't like him. He has an especially big problem with business class Republicans and also with Mormons, who represent 10% of the GOP electorate in Arizona.

----

And Arpaio represents a existential threat to minorities. He's been convicted of racist police policies and for refusing to obey the courts.

BTW, Trump won Arizona by 4.1%, getting less than 50%. He won Alabama by 28%.

No one is celebrating this development more than the DSCC, Kyrsten Sinema, and the Democrats running for Governor in Arizona. Every GOP candidate is going to be asked to endorse Arpaio. If they say no, they'll get punished by the GOP primary voters. If they say yes, they're opening themselves up to the backlash in the general.

If Arpaio is the nominee, the GOP loses.

----

Now all we need is for Chris McDaniel to be the GOP nominee in the Mississippi Senate race. That way, we will have pretty much maximized the matchup race.

How do you turn a marginal winning electoral cycle into a rout? By having better turnout and by having better matchups. The GOP is shooting themselves in the foot again.
---

This is even worse than Roy Moore, politically. In Arizona, unlike Alabama, there are lots of other officials that could get tossed out of office because of this.

RE: Arpaio Running for US Senate
I guess this is the outrage du jour in attempt to stir up faux-enthusiasm.

The obvious question is, why do you expect it to carry over to the general after McSally wins the primary?

I hope Sheriff Joe wins!

Been a fan of his for a long time. Heck, it's almost worth moving to AZ just to be able to vote for him.

Wait a sec... do you have to live in a state to vote in that state's elections? I need to find a Democrat and ask him how that works.

Dude is 85 years old. If he goes through a primary, I seriously doubt he wins on that alone.

Maybe. Nothing like a bunch of ageists discriminating against somebody. Bigots.

RE: Arpaio Running for US Senate
Oh come on guys...nominate Arpaio! He'd be a great candidate to represent Trumpism.

You'd really be sticking it to the snowflakes. It would be a real alpha male dominance move. Think of all the libturds you'd be triggering with Joe Arpaio as the Republican nominee for an open Senate seat. Do it, Arizona GOP. Nominate Joe. You could put Pepe on his campaign signs and signal each other with the 'ok" hand gesture too!

You don't want that Mrs. McSally. She doesn't have high energy. Her last name has Sally in it. That means she's a closeted liberal. Ignore her certifiably Bannonesque voting record. I heard she is an elitist over at Rateway Pundit. Or maybe it was from a dossier given to me by a hobo with a patch over one eye in a Waffle House parking lot. You want Joe. You really want Joe. Bigly. Besides Martha is McConnell's choice. You hate him.

LOL.

Edit. Oops I forgot...Arizona's primary elections don't have runoffs. And the election isn't until August, so even if Joe loses, he'll be around for much of the election cycle. But I really think y'all should get behind your standard bearer, Joe Arpaio!

Anything wrong with alpha males?

Nothing wrong with alpha males. They're really the ones discriminated against in our society. That's why you need to back Joe Arpaio for US Senate in Arizona. He won't put up with any complaining from those silly minorities and low energy snowflakes.

LOL.

So you agree that various segments of society are marginalized, but you're OK with it as long as YOU choose which segments fail.

got it.

I mean, we all knew it. Just didn't know if you'd ever admit to it.

LOL. Again, I encourage you to support Joe Arpaio for US Senate. He will bigly support the alpha males, who are unquestionably the most persecuted group in our society against the elites and minorities. LOL.

But to answer your question. I'm not choosing what segments fail. The people who didn't get the skills didn't make the right choices to make them competitive in society. The Democrats, to a greater degree than the GOP, actually have made attempts to retrain workers, help keep working wage persons survive in the new economic situation.

Change is inevitable. And no, DJT can't stop, or even really slow, globalization. Not that he's even trying to do so.

RE: Arpaio Running for US Senate
I would think his presence would hurt Kelli Ward's chances. She also can't be helped by Bannon's fall from grace.

I guess Kyrsten Sinema is the likely Democratic candidate. She has an interesting background too as the first openly bisexual to be voted to Congress. She's liberal on some issues, but pretty conservative on some others (she was one of just 5 Democrats to not vote for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House, and she's also been in a tiny number of House Democrats who voted against Obama on other issues such as voting for a Republican-backed bill barring the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from regulating broadband rates and in 2015 voting in favor of a Republican-backed bill to repeal the estate tax.

I still wish Mark Kelly would enter the race.

Sinema is going to be the Democratic nominee. She's one of the more conservative members of the Democratic Party. I don't need an ideological twin. I just need a decent moderate. Sinema fits that bill, and fits the voters of Arizona.

Arpaio's entry into the race basically takes Chemtrail Kelli out of the race. Its the same voters, and they'll go with Arpaio.

There's a thread that Arpaio is just running to line his own pockets and knock Chemtrail Kelli out of the race as a stalking horse. There a few that theorize that he'll drop out, leaving McSally as the nominee. But the job of the Democrats is to turn this race into referendum on Arpaio. That way, he can't quit the race or he'll be a loser.

McSally is bad news. She's really far right. She's also really unpopular in her CD so she's running statewide because she's got a better shot of winning the Senate seat than here CD. Either way, I think she loses.
