There are reports that Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, who is facing a close race again, will be picking a Republican as her Lieutenant Governor.
The Republican in question, former Mesa Mayor John Giles is allegedly a, "Moderate," but it is a stupid move, on par with Kamala Harris campaigning with Liz Cheney.
This does not look like being reasonable of reaching across the aisle.
Instead, it looks like craven and unprincipled posturing for electoral advantage.
The worst part is that it won't work. (One only has to look at Harris' shambolic campaign)
Gov. Katie Hobbs of Arizona, a vulnerable Democrat running for re-election, plans to tap a longtime Republican and former mayor of a Phoenix suburb to serve as her running mate, according to two people familiar with the decision.
John Giles, a former mayor of Mesa, Ariz., is expected to be announced in the coming days as Ms. Hobbs’s lieutenant governor nominee. Neither Ms. Hobbs nor her campaign would confirm the choice, and nothing is final until an announcement.
But the apparent pick is a nod to bipartisanship in a campaign that will pit Ms. Hobbs, a low-key Democrat, against Representative Andy Biggs, a fiercely partisan Republican with President Trump’s endorsement.
Ms. Hobbs’s narrow victory four years ago was secured with the backing of moderate Republicans and independent voters who have recoiled against hard-line Republican nominees in each of the last two election cycles.
Biggs is a f%$#ing nut-job. You need to call him a nut-job.
Playing nice and bipartisan against Attila the Hun just ends with your severed head on a sharp stake.
