The Arizona Republican Party has been racked by infighting as elected officials argue over President Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results and the GOP governor grapples with a worsening pandemic

By Eliza Collins Close Eliza Collins Dec. 13, 2020 10:00 am ET PHOENIX—The Arizona Republican Party has been racked by infighting as elected officials argue over President Trump’s efforts to overturn the election results and as the GOP governor grapples with a worsening Covid-19 pandemic. The public spats have some worried about the party’s chances going into the next round of elections.

Unlike some other governors, Mr. Ducey hasn’t issued a stay-at-home order, curfew or face-mask mandate, but cities and counties can impose their own mask mandates. Mr. Ducey has put in place some limited restrictions on businesses. Mr. Shope said he supported the president, but added that Republicans should start looking ahead and try to capitalize on a midterm election with a Democratic president, which generally favors the party not in power. He is concerned far-right candidates will win primaries or pull establishment candidates to the right during a midterm election and then turn off moderate votes in a general election.

The Republican speaker of the Arizona House said Dec. 4 that Mr. Trump’s legal team had asked Republicans in the state to overturn the results of the election and nominate pro-Trump electors, a request he denied, saying it would “violate current law to change the outcome of a certified election.”

If Republicans really believed in the rule of law they would be calling for criminal charges against Trump for interfering in our election promoting sedition chaos and violence! GOP has ignored all of trumps corruption & criminality his entire presidency tells you who they are!

and you leftist won the stooge of life time one way other your get what you wish for new ''great depression ''

Just do the right thing then there's nothing to fight about. Oh, that's not an option. Trump has exposed the GOP for what it is, selfish and racist!

Ya rack a bunch of pool balls. And a political party gets wracked when they start devouring their own and following a trounced loser over a cliff.

Apologize to Dr. Jill Biden, .

When legitimate principles of debate are ignored and abolished, Americans need another war to regain justice and truth for their country.

Maybe its time for the MODERATE (sane) of both Left and Right who are still of the belief its ok to disagree BUT COMPROMISE is required to leave their respective parties and form a NEW 3rd party coalition that is the VAST majority leave the EXTREMIST wings to self destruction.

It should be spelled 'wracked', and if you disagree then you're on the side of darkness, depravity and chaos!

There should be no arguing here. President Donald J. Trump lost the Election2020. States have met the SafeHarbor deadline. It is settled.

Let them eat their own. Who cares? As far as that goes, after published an absolute deadbeat JosephEpstein and his unfounded, jealous rant against DR. Biden, they can go the way of the dinosaurs, just like the Republican Party.

Let. Then. Eat. Their. Own. They deserve everything they get....and more.

Just canceled my subscription. DrJillBiden
