Serious question: why did Ducey appoint this idiot?
Arizona's GOP bench is surprisingly weak. The remaining members of the congressional delegation are all either far-right lunatics (Lesko, Biggs, Gosar) or are bogged down by ethics issues (Schweikert).
I think his logic was that she could take the L this year, allowing him to take the seat back in 2022. We'll see if his approval recovers by then.
People were talking about her as a future Presidential contender in mid-2018 and she was still considered a strong candidate when appointed
I recall it being a pretty common idea back when Ducey appointed her, immediately after being rejected by the voters, that she was DOA for the election this year.
I don't think even the proponents of that notion had any idea how true it was at the time, though.
