AZ-Civiqs: Kelly with an astronomical 9 point lead

[SevenEleven]

I get that appointing a previously rejected senate candidate isn't necessarily a wise idea, but that McSally is doing this worse is atrocious. Likely Democratic for now.

I think it was a wise move but mainly due to how the AZ GOP bench is quite terrible. And those who are best on that bench would find it hard to win a primary.
While the "appointed a loser" thing would hurt for sure, ideological extremism from a Kelly Ward type would without a doubt be worse from an electoral perspective.

Obviously Ducey appointed someone who thought would lose to set the stage for his own 2022 run. I think he should have appointed Cindy McCain.

Oh, I don't disagree too much, just stressing that McSally is in fact the best potential pick from an electoral perspective.
Which is...quite sad for the AZ GOP. Too bad nutcases are so powerful in their primaries.

He should have dug up JD Hayworth 😂
