It’s because Flake is a lot more likely to lose his primary than those others.
Even so, Tester No is a pretty good value at $0.29. That’s about the same price as Stabenow No. Maybe I’m missing something, but in my mind those two things shouldn’t be close.
That sounds plausible.
Well I disagree. 86 years old for a 6 year term is too old. If 86 is ok with you when does age becomes the major determining factor? 87? 90? 92?
Wait, are we sure he’d be running for Flake’s seat? McCain is probably going to either die or retire before then, and while a replacement will be appointed by the governor, it’s my understanding that the appointee will only serve until the next election (even if that wouldn’t have been the end of the original term), with someone being elected to finish that term. So there’s no reason he couldn’t run for that seat, instead.
Near zero. He’s too old, too unpopular and laden with political baggage. And I don’t think he would even want to be a senator.
I very much doubt he will run.
Arpaio likes being the king of his little fiefdom. He will be only one of 50 as a Senator, which can’t be appealing.
Well, he will be one of 100, should he get elected. Barack Obama didn’t like the slow pace of the Senate and he was far younger than Arpaio.
I for one met him a couple time, and I know people in the Phoenix gov’t who’ve had the dubious honor as well. Completely senile. His handlers earn their money.
I was at a luncheon honoring my company and others who’d raised funds for his kids’ charity. Buffet luncheon. First he made fun of 2 guys uniforms shirts, following them around and pointing and menacing and kept approaching them until he’d backed them against the wall. The chairperson ran over and jumped between Joe (and his pistol tie clip) and the poor people and shouted until his handlers came over.
When the buffet lunch started, he picked up a serving spoon of something and ate a bite off the spoon, apparently decided he didn’t care for it, spit it back on the spoon and put the spoon back in the dish.
Completely senile.
I missed another related PredictIt market…
Will Jeff Flake win the 2018 Arizona Republican Senate primary?
Flake is currently a whisker worse than 50/50.
This discussion just put a very bad thought into my head. Assume the Arizona Republicans convince him not to run, or if he loses the primary. He then decides to run for mayor of Fountain Hills (the town where he and I both live). He could win that and re-establish his own (albeit small) fiefdom, with me as one of his subjects (assuming he doesn’t run all the registered Dems out of town).
That would suck big-time. At least for me.
Jolted Joe will be lucky if his personal fiefdom doesn’t have bars. He no longer has any power to keep the hounds at bay. He is a fool to call any more attention to himself. Its not a coincidence that evil men are so frequently stupid. Half the time, they don’t even know that they are.
Don’t know they’re evil, or that they’re stupid?
My money’s on both.
Yes, that’s the story! I remember it now. Didn’t you also have a story about getting in an elevator with him and his goons?
Even now that I have a few key words to search for and your user name, I still can’t find your original post with a Google search. 
I laughed way too hard at this. Trump, Arpaio, Kid Rock. Apt metaphor.
To transplant a post from another thread,
Which sounds wrong to me. However,
That is troubling. Accepting a pardon constitutes an admission of guilt. Not sure that vacating the ruling would change the fact that he admitted guilt.
Let’s not forget the amount of tax-payer money that was spent on his behalf. Seems like a challenger could make hay with that.
I guess this is the Revenge of the RINOs or something. Sometimes I have a hard time believing that the Trump admin isn’t a vast leftwing conspiracy aimed at dismantling the GOP.
Truly evil people are smart. He’s just an idiot and asshole. Anyone who puts pink underwear on inmates to belittle them, is immature and a total asshole for being so petty.. He is/was/forever will be an arrogant, egotistical P.O.S. Even if pardoned, that is a big [pink] stain on the history pages that will haunt him and his family forever, if he didn’t have the foresight to think of that, it makes him a moron.
Someone should do a study on recidivism rates of the inmates in “tent city”, my money is on a high rate with an increase in violence due to the way they were treated while being there.
This is coming from a libertarian (conservative leaning).
Recent update:
RINOS? There aren’t any RINOS in these races. These primary battles are being fought between people who are 100% right wing and people who are 105% right wing. When you start claiming that Roy Moore isn’t conservative enough for you, that’s a sign you’ve gone off the deep end.
