I think he can easily win - it's just common sense. walkingman Feb 2019 #3

I love the guy, and his wife, but anyone who see him as a likely win simply doesn't have a clue about Arizona politics.

The more I think about it, the more I'm worried that his candidacy will encourage the Republicans to abandon McSally and run someone more hard core.

Again, if he runs on and assault-weapon ban, he'll massively boost Republican turnout, lose most independents, and alienate a good number of Democrats.
