Don't bet on it. As I mentioned earlier, the "good" people of AZ repeatedly re-elected criminals like DiConcini and McCain for decades. And Arpaio is popular out there. Must be the snowbird influence.

Gorsuch for that fat fascist piece of $#@!?

And to knock off Kelli Ward in the process?

Smh.

Arpaio told a small group of Arizona conservatives last week that he will continue to question the legitimacy of former President Barack Obama's birth certificate. He is "kind of dropping" the claims for now, he said, but will renew focus on the "fake document" if he succeeds in his bid for a Senate seat.

To be sure, plenty of Republicans are worried that if Arpaio is the party's standard-bearer going into November, voters will reject his incendiary history and views and elect a Democrat. In 2016, despite there being more registered Republicans than Democrats in Maricopa County and Trump winning the county by 3 percentage points, Arpaio lost by 13 points.

"It was Republicans (in 2016) who decided that they had enough of Joe Arpaio, and while he'd excite a certain part of the electorate, he'd turn off a larger portion (in the general election)," said Barrett Marson, an Arizona GOP consultant who is not involved in the Senate contest. "Everybody knows who he is, and it'll be hard for him to define himself as anything different."

Fake News

Conservatives don't support Arpaio.

Arpaio's nothing but a leftist who happens to dislike Mexicans (and other foreigners, except Italians, of course).
