Clint Smith Challenging Andy Biggs
« on: September 10, 2022, 03:53:18 pm »
I am surprised at how many people I talk to are supporting Smith over Biggs.

I've seen a lot of bumper stickers that say "Retire Andy Biggs". 

People who vote for Smith would be disaffected Republicans for the most part.

Which means he becomes Ross Perot and seat goes democratic. 

I really had always assumed Biggs was safe.

538 has no polling information.

Now, I am a little concerned.

Open Secrets indicates that Smith is working with about 1/12th the funds Biggs has. 

On a side note...Biggs has raised 1.4 million.  Don't know what it takes to run a race.....but I still have to wonder how Kelly is sitting on such a huge pile of cash.

RAM is touting Smith now. 

They also list Kelly.....

Not sure that will help Smith in such a conservative district.

@HikerGuy83

Out of state Democrat mega-donors are pouring cash into Kelly's race because he's vulnerable and they desperately need to hold that seat to keep Schumer in charge.  The Dems know in their black hearts Arizona is NOT a "Blue State."
For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

It is amazing that they can provide that much.

I think the RNSC said it had spent 30 million (as much as Kelly) overall.

And that was more than the democrats central politburo.

Just amazing.

The RNSC is spending 7 figures on the Blake Masters campaign.  Turtle can't change that.

Correction to earlier post.

RNSC had spent over 170 million as of mid-August. 

My mistake.

Got sidetracked folks.

This thread is about Clint Smith challenging Andy Biggs as an indie.

As I said in my OP, I thought Biggs was safe. 

Wonder how this will play out.

Clint's chances are Slim to None, and Slim has left town.

I looked at his website, and for positive reasons to vote for him there's the platitudes expressed on the home page. 

Quote
Our democracy is in jeopardy and I’m stepping up with a rational voice to represent the interests of the people in Arizona’s Congressional District 5 - not a political party or its divisive leaders.

I’m running as an Independent because this race is not about Republicans, Democrats, and the bitter partisanship they engage in that has so deeply divided us. This election is about getting rid of the political games and getting back to civility. I truly believe we share more common values and daily struggles than we realize.

It’s time for renewed, independent leadership that will restore normalcy and stop the rancor. I’m ready to be that leader and stand up for Arizona and the people of this great district.


"Our Democracy?"    What conservative says that?  Other than that, the website is just a place for him to describe why Biggs is bad. 

Nope.

Nope.

My concern is that he splits the vote.

I don't think so.  I don't think Ramos can get the numbers, and I don't see Clint getting more than a few percentage points, if that.

ETA:  From his website, he's aiming at Democrat ideas.  He's more likely to steal votes from Ramos than from Biggs.

We need Biggs to stay in place.

I hope you are right.

While I support Biggs, this article is indicative of what, I think, is a growing attitude towards some hard-liners in the party.

I recently visited with someone who is getting on the Smith Bandwagon (and this person is pretty conservative).

I am not endorsing the article (for those of you who chose to shoot first and never ask questions).

If there is a rule against what I can post or not post, let me know.

Is there such a rule ?

Simple yes or no.

Not at all, but your posts and questions suggest one who never goes outside of the leftist media bubble.

This is a discussion board.  If you have an issue with something I say, let me know. 

That people, who are true conservatives, are become disaffected with what they consider hard-liners isn't my issue.

BTW: How is the 10th Amendment and asking that Arizona get off it's ass and help push resolutions so that people like Biggs will start speaking up and getting us back to where we should be.......inside the leftist bubble ?

A lot of people don't need Liz Cheney in order to drop their support for DJT.
