Here is the vise state Republicans are in. Every candidate will be asked whether the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. No candidate will be able to duck that question. If the candidate answers no, he or she probably can’t win a Republican primary. If the candidate answers yes, he or she probably can’t win a general election. There was an attempt to steal the 2020 election. The would-be thief was Donald Trump. An overwhelming portion of GOP officeholders and leaders in Arizona joined in the attempted heist. A post-Trump Republican Party would have a good chance to take back the U.S. Senate seat, hold the governor’s chair and increase control of the Legislature to more comfortable margins. A Trump Republican Party still fighting the 2020 election is in serious risk of losing across the board.
