If you liked Moore, you're gonna love Senator Arpaio

Yes, Joe Arpaio, recently pardoned convict, is seriously considering a run for Jeff Flake's seat in Arizona. If Moore wins, it could be the year of cray-cray in the GOP. I mean, the sky's the limit!
US News & World Report wrote:Controversial former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he's considering jumping into the race for retiring Sen. Jeff Flake's Senate seat, six months after his contempt-of-court charge was erased by presidential pardon.

"I am seriously, seriously, seriously considering running for the U.S. Senate," Arpaio told The Daily Beast on Thursday.

You remember a couple of years ago when the Tea Party had some unsuccessful candidacies like Christine O'Donnell, there was an effort to kind of rein in the cray-cray in the GOP. It's becoming less a party of a coherent national and world view, and more a popularity contest between Right Wing performance artists.

But Bannon and Hannity have already endorsed Kelli Ward for Senator.

Yep. Joe's about 400 years old and isn't going to go anywhere in this race.

But you know how these ego-driven hacks live in their own special reality...

Hopefully, Congresswoman Kyrsten Sinema will become Arizona's next Senator.
