AZ depens a lot on tourism, they won’t like national and international boycotts which would be guranteed if arpaio wins. So I’s say let him win the primary and sink gop even lower

Before Arpaio expressed an interest in the Senate race, Ward has done everything but demand *her* Senate seat from John McCain while he battles cancer.

While Arpaio will get his share of votes, Ward will be seen as less crazy (not by much) and could be elected in the primary and the general.

Which is a baseless argument, the rest is a strong possibility. He might make other Republicans look good. It will be an interesting primary. Hope Joe wins it.
