which is the worst GOP state party

[S019]

Arizona's GOP is going downhill and fast. It's not the worst, but it's on a race to the bottom along with Georgia.

They need to fire Kelli Ward. She's a West Virginia native and she is behaving like AZ is WV. She hated McCain and Flake for being "RINOs." But the Arizona electorate seems to like RINOs. Arizona is more libertarian than conservative. But with Kelli Ward, she's shoving wingnuts down everyones throat.

Ducey has the best chance of winning back a senate seat. And she's already on the outs with him. I bet she runs and gets slaughtered.

The issue is that as Maricopa blues, lots of people are leaving the GOP to become Indies or Dems, so the rurals become very important in the primary, and they include the types of people who made Ward chair, in the first place.

As far as who can beat Kelly, Ducey's approvals are in the trash so my guess is not him. All of the congressional delegation for AZ GOP are in the freedom caucus and don't have great statewide appeal.
However, the AG byrnovich and the treasurer Yee are very serious threats to Kelly. They both survived 2018 and could go for Gov or senate. the AG is term limited and the treasurer is not IIRC

Brnovich or Yee would be the strongest I agree (other than a wildcard like a McCain), but honestly both could go for Governor, especially if Kelli Ward or one of her allies runs, and she positions the party machinery firmly behind them.
