How The Republican Swamp Delivered Victory to Democrats in Arizona by Crushing Kelli Ward

The retirement of globalist, open border Republican Senator Jeff Flake created an open Arizona senate seat. Conservative Kelli Ward was enormously popular with the conservative base and she was endorsed by REAL conservative Rand Paul who also vigorously vouched for Ward's solid conservative credentials.

Rand Paul Defies McConnell, Endorses Kelli Ward for Senate 11/2/2017

Sen. Rand Paul endorsed Dr. Kelli Ward on Wednesday in the Arizona U.S. Senate race.

Appearing on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” on Wednesday morning, the Kentucky Republican noted that the former state senator was active in his 2016 presidential campaign and is a physician like himself.

“I think she’s a thoughtful leader, somebody who is an outsider, not a career politician. And I think she would make a great senator from Arizona,” Paul said.

In a call with reporters on Wednesday afternoon, Paul predicted the Washington establishment will find a candidate to oppose Ward in the primary...

And that is precisely what happened.  Ward, who had previously challenged John McCain in a 2016 primary, was hated by McCain and the Swamp Establishment Republicans.  The McCain money machine and the RNC-GOP money machines literally declared war on Ward.

The Swamp was wildly behind Martha McSally, a individual who is NOT a conservative and never was a conservative.   Tons of special interest money was poured into crushing Ward in the primary and guaranteeing that McSally was the nominee.

Well, the Swamp succeeded, McSally won the Swamp Primary but McSally was defeated in the general election by flaky Democrat Kyrsten Sinema.

What do we know about McSally?  A lot.

Is the establishment conspiring against Kelli Ward?   8/19/2018

McSally is the candidate who undermined Trump's agenda and refused to say whether or not she voted for Hillary. McSally is the one who voted for amnesty. She maintains an F rating at the Conservative Review – a score even worse than "Fake" Jeff Flake and John McCain! FreedomWorks gave McSally an "F" rating.

If McSally refused to say whether or not she voted for Hillary Clinton, that's a sign that she probably did or, minimally, may not have voted for Trump.

Not only is establishment swamp creature McSally not a conservative, she's also probably a Never Trumper.  However, it gets worse.  McSally was touted as not just a female military hero but also an Air Force pilot.  Her military colleagues have questioned her abilities.

Conservatives Dreading a Martha McSally Senate Win in Arizona

McSally’s record as a pilot in the Air Force has been called into question by former colleagues. The James T. Harris Show interviewed Lt. Col. retired Tom-Chuck Norris about McSally’s experience with the A-10 aircraft. Norris doesn’t think she’s much of a pilot. He said, “she doesn’t even know how many bullets the airplane she flew carries, going into combat carries.” He said she once told him, “It doesn’t matter how good a pilot I am, it doesn’t matter how good I execute close air support. What matters is getting me promoted.”

Norris said McSally showed her lack of knowledge during an interview with Greta Van Susteren, when she spoke about threats while flying. He said her answer was “Madness, pure madness. I mean she was, there was a reason why she was under the highest level of supervision starting back in 1995, because she had severe lack of knowledge and credibility and it hasn’t changed.” He warned, “a fraud is being perpetrated on, on, the nation.”

The James T. Harris Show also interviewed Colonel (ret.) “Pappy” Russell about McSally. He said McSally exploited the tragic deaths of two other pilots in order to promote her campaign. He said she made up details about her role in their deaths that weren’t true. “There’s very little there that truly happened, because I was intimately involved with both of those events.”

Not only was McSally a fake conservative and establishment Republican swamp creature supported by the McCain machine, a Democrat leaning blog in AZ nailed it on McSally.

Left and Right agree: Martha McSally is a fraudulent candidate

I have said for some time “it is painfully obvious that Martha McSally is a vacuous candidate who does not know enough about any subject to offer a thoughtful and detailed explanation of her positions. So she continues to hide in the bunker and refuses to offer any detailed explanations of her positions.” McSally knows little about the job which she seeks, and is too intellectually incurious and lazy to learn anything about it.

There is no “there” there. McSally is unfit to be a candidate for Congress.

It turns out that I am not the only one who feels this way. In fact, the political Right feels the same way.

Conservatives are sick to death of Republican swamp creatures which is one reason why Trump successfully romanced the GOP base.   The defeat of McSally was probably attributable to the fact that real conservatives couldn't even hold their noses and vote for her.  She's kind of like a Republican version of Hillary Clinton - nobody liked her.  Voters are far from the the brightest stars in the voting universe of democracy but they seem to intuitively know a fraud when they see one.

Let's not mourn the defeat of McSally because her defeat was a defeat for the Republican Swamp and the McCain machine.  That's something to celebrate.  McSally was a lousy candidate, a lousy conservative and even a lousy Air Force pilot.  She summed up her opinion of herself when she told an Air Force colleague “It doesn’t matter how good a pilot I am, it doesn’t matter how good I execute close air support. What matters is getting me promoted.”

For a fraud like McSally, it was always about McSally and her raw ambitions, and never about America or the American people.  While good people may not win elections, it's warms the heart when bad people go down in flames.
