‘Never in a Million Years’: Arizona Republicans Grapple with the Rising Fringe

None have any political experience. But they have the main qualification that matters to the former president: They repeat the lie that the Arizona election was rigged against him. Every winning Republican candidate said they wouldn’t have certified the 2020 election. That means that as Trump gears up for a possible third run for the presidency, Arizona is facing the prospect of a slate of statewide officials who could steal the election for him. (Indeed, another victim of a Trump-backed primary was Rusty Bowers, the soft-spoken leader of the Arizona House who rebuffed Trump’s pressure campaign to overturn the state’s 2020 election results and testified to the January 6 committee.)

  1. The blathering intensifies.

    Just as predicted: the Democrats and their media toadies are gearing up with -- surprise, surprise -- Donald Trump's stock-in-trade: alleging rigged elections for their electoral losses or impending losses.

  2. You mean Trump created a new principle - if you you lose the election it was rigged if you win it is honest?!

  3. No, Hillary and friends invented that in 2016. The Republicans are just copying them.
