Be sure to support Deedra Abboud, if she wins the primary she will be a Democrat who does not run away from being called a "liberal" and her political positions are beautiful.

Also, if you live in Arizona, sign her petition so she can run:

Her philosophy is refreshing, maybe voters can deny urges from those in the Breitbart-establishment to be afraid of the 'other'. Maybe.

...there are other serious candidates running for the nomination; at the very least, I'll wait until the Primary is held before providing support.

If you think voters in Arizona are too much under the sway of fear and paranoia to not vote for Deedra just because of her religion, then OK, support somebody still. One of these other candidates. Get the word out for candidates today.

...which means I've burned funds that could have gone the General Election campaign. I'm not an Arizona resident, so I'll leave this in the hands of Arizona's Democrats.

Republicans double down on racism

I sure hope I'm right!

and lose bigly in the general

It's time the Republican party and its members step up and nominate reasonable human beings. Yeah, Flake may believe in the magical invisible hand of the marketplace and other nonsense, but he at least seems like a reasonable human being. Having reasonable voices in the debate only elevates the debate. Having idiots like Trump and Arpaio as part of the conversation only coarsens our political debate and weakens our democracy. Having those same idiots as one side in a general election does no one any good.

AZ is pretty damn red. the GOP nominee has a strong advantage going into this thing.

Error-Zona continues to ramp up the voter suppression.

can someone way in on this, and clear it up?

I'm not a lawyer and only did a cursory google search, but I believe if he was pardoned and it was not a second conviction, he would be eligible. He would have standing if he had been convicted only once, but not two or more times.

That said, I'm no expert and could have missed things. So, I would not be upset if proven wrong.

"got one, and now, I need just one more moran to run against me in the primary."

Moron " pardons" someone doesn't mean they still aren't guilty of doing the crime and the stigma of that.
It's like when someone says something in court and the judge tells the jury you are to forget what you just heard.
Of course they will...

He would like it down there....

Senator Sinema would be the result.

Hope he has at least tens of civil lawsuits by then, is totally distracted, and his Dem opponent takes the seat! I will give to any Dem opposing him until it hurts. I just can't give to Flake, it's totally against my principals.

I'm wondering if there can't be a state suit filed by individuals who were harmed -- thereby negating Trumps' ability to pardon any state sanctioned penalty or possible jail time? It would only seem fair that those harmed by this maggot can at least feel some sense of justice. Really! Something needs to be done to ensure he gets what he deserves -- JUSTICE DEMANDS IT.

if he would run. He sure has an inflated view of himself. No wonder he gets along with trumpy

You'll be humilated

To make Ted Cruz the 99th most beloved member of the Senate.
