Here’s what you should watch for in tonight’s Florida and Arizona primary results
By: Nate Madden | August 30, 2016
“A handful of primary races in the Sunshine [Florida] and Grand Canyon [Arizona] States will pick some of the most important down-ballot contenders [Congress] in the 2016 election cycle. Here’s the breakdown.
The trend tonight is fighting off the establishment. Following the primary defeat of conservative stalwart Tim Huelskamp last month in Kansas, the GOP establishment has been looking to pick off and block conservatives elsewhere. [They have been doing this since the rise of the Tea Party in 2010. When a conservative verse a RINO (Republican In Name Only) Republican are running in a primary, they support the RINO. If the conservative wins the primary, they do not support him/her in the general election. They expect us to support the RINO if he/she wins but refuse to support the conservative!]
The races to watch for conservatives tonight are those in the Florida 1st, 2nd, and 19th Districts; Arizona’s 4th and 5th; as well as high-profile senate races in each state.
In Arizona’s 4th Congressional District, Rep. Paul Gosar (B, 83%) is facing a well-funded establishment primary challenge akin to the kind that ousted fellow Freedom Caucus Member Tim Huelskamp just a few weeks ago [August 2]. According to Roll Call earlier this month, Gosar is the latest target of a GOP establishment that wants a more ‘cooperative’ conference that’s more willing to play along with leadership [More willing to capitulate to the Democrats which is what the Republican establishment has bee doing for the last seven plus years!].
In the race to replace the retiring Matt Salmon, R-Ariz. (B-83%) in the Arizona 5th, state Senator Andy Biggs—who is described as an ‘erudite ultra-conservative,’ backed by both FredomWorks and Club for Growth—is taking on three other challengers, including former Maricopa County Supervisor and current immigration soft-liner Don Stapley, as well as former GoDaddy executive Christine Jones, who is largely self-funding her campaign to the tune of $1.6 million.
In the Florida 1st an eight-way race to replace retiring congressman Jeff Miller features Rebekah Johansen Bydlak [Is she conservative?]—who, at 26, is aiming to become the youngest female congresswoman in history—combat veteran Chris Dosev, and state Representative Matt Gaetz [Who is the conservative? I am not familiar with this race which means I have not been receiving e-mails about the race.], who raised over $1 million for the race.
Another open-seat primary, the Florida 2nd is a standard-issue grassroots-versus-establishment proxy war between the conservative-backed Mary Thomas and establishment foe Neil Dunn, whose campaign had outraised the former by over $500,000 as of August 10 [Conservative candidates are usually out spent. Half a million is a lot of out spending.].
The Florida 19th offers a case study, where even national conservative groups like the American Conservative Union have endorsed Francis Rooney, a former U.S. ambassador and big-time Republican donor over former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino [He sometimes does the Mark Levine radio show when he is not on-the-air for whatever reason.], despite Rooney’s comparatively soft stances on key issues of immigration and defunding Planned Parenthood.
On the Senate side, expect a little less of a shakeup. John McCain’s primary challenger, Kelli Ward, has a shot at the nomination, but not much of one [Which is sad, if true, since John McCain should have been gone a long time ago!]. While the former GOP presidential nominee is expected to fend off the pro-Trump former Arizona state legislator, McCain is currently preparing to just squeak by despite enjoying a sizable lead in previous polling [Polls do not vote!].
The Republican senate run in the Sunshine State should prove to be even less surprising. Despite telling CNN that he couldn’t commit to a six year-term if re-elected earlier in the day, Marco Rubio, R-Fla. (C, 77%) should coast handily into the winners’ circle [The polls are closed in Florida as I write this and ABC news has delcared him the winner.]. This is thanks in no small part to Freedom Caucus member Ron DeSantis (A, 90%) [I like Ron DeSantis. However, when he first declared, he sent me e-mails seeking a donation. Each time, I asked if he would drop out if Mark Rubio flamed out and decided to run for the Senate again. He never responded! I was not surprised by his dropping out!] dropping out of the race to refocus on keeping a hold on the Florida 6th. Contrary to his initial plans to return to the private sector after his failed presidential bid, Rubio was convinced by party leaders to vie for reelection.
What most of these primary races have in common are money and name recognition—two factors legitimate conservative candidates often don’t have working in their favor. Sure, the GOP establishment’s execution-style targeting of Tim Huelskamp sent shockwaves through the conservative world, but it’s merely endemic of an even larger pattern. Despite the anti-establishment fervor that has set the tone of both parties’ primary election cycles, the establishment favorites have won almost every single Republican primary so far this year. Notable exceptions to this trend are Randy Forbes in Virginia [Conservative Review scorecard: J. Randy Forbes R VA-4 D 62% 15 2016] and Renee Ellmers in North Carolina [Renee Ellmers R NC-2 F 54% 6 2016. She sabotaged a pro-life bill early this year!] (and both of those were largely the result of redistricting).
While the political climate is ripe for conservative wins, the primary process as it stands still favors establishment picks who can flood the zone with media buys over their conservative counterparts. This is how the system currently operates and will continue to do so until states proactively reform their primary systems to representative conventions—as has been previously explained at Conservative Review [My proposal is to take federal elections out of the hands of the States and place them in the hands of Congress as allowed by the Constitution.]
Again: Tonight’s primaries are going to decide some of the most consequential down-ballot races of the 2016 election. As you watch the returns come in, follow the money.”
In many instances, the primaries are the most important election for they select the candidates for the general election. Look what the primaries gave us: Donald Trump vs. Hillary Clinton. I predict, the Republican Party is involved in one of its last national elections! The Republican Party is trying deliberately to drive conservatives out of the Party.
You can not win the election if you do not run for the office. You can not win the election if you do not get on the ballot.
Vote Darrell Castle for President. The Constitutional Conservative!
