Former Maricopa County, Ariz. Sheriff Joe Arpaio told The Daily Beast Thursday that he is "seriously, seriously, seriously considering running for the U.S. Senate" to replace the retiring Jeff Flake.

The Daily Beast reached out to Arpaio shortly after Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., announced his resignation over discussions with two female staffers about whether they would consider being a surrogate mother.

Arpaio described Franks as "a great man, and a great friend, and it’s a great loss for Arizona and our country."

1. He may as well. He's just the king of lying crook the RW clearly loves.

After Trump was elected, nothing should surprise us.

[solara]

2. Oh. Goody.

Did we all get hit by a bus or something?

And are we now, all of us, just treading water in purgatory?

[Still In Wisconsin]

3. So we may have Arpaio AND Moore in the Senate. Outstanding.

Once again, Idocracy is shown to be a documentary.

[brooklynite]

5. Please...Arizona and Alabama are not the same.

[vsrazdem]

16. Arpaio could not get elected as dogcatcher here right now

[marybourg]

21. Agree. Even my RW neighbors

detest him.He has cost them money for his defense and reduced the effectiveness of our volunteer crime watch group.

[BigmanPigman]

4. That is perfect!

[sweetloukillbot]

8. Another nutcase for a crowded Republican field.

And one with a lot of baggage...

[StevieM]

6. Trent Franks is the most loathsome human being in politics. And that's really saying something.

Being more reprehensible than Donald Trump is no easy task.

[Historic NY]

7. One foot on the banana peel to a dirt nap.

[packman]

9. One circus - a lot of clowns

Shit, why not? America seems to have no moral core any more.

[jb5150]

10. At 85 years old, it seems seriously, seriously, seriously

unlikely ....

[Marie Marie]

11. Well then, let's all welcome our new Sen Arpaio.

He'd probably win and find a good friend in Sen Moore. We can't sink any lower.

[Initech]

14. Seriously, at this point, America is this guy:

[Marie Marie]

15. Looks about right...

[keithbvadu2]

12. Pardoned but still a guilty criminal... don't have to wait.

[Dawson Leery]

13. Another loser.

[dalton99a]

17. Why does evil live so long?

[Midnight Writer]

18. What? Sheriff Joe may be renewed for another Season? Great! Am tired of new Apprentice.

[iluvtennis]

19. WTF, seriously. This old bigoted geezer needs to step aside. GAH

[Cicada]

20. I would contribute to his primary campaign

Hell, even Al Franken could move to Arizona and beat this clown.

Maybe Coach Steve Kerr could move back to Arizona to run against him. Steve Kerr is a thoughtful liberal and the son of the former President of the American University in Beirut who was murdered by anti-American extremists. He is wonderful.

[TomCADem]

23. This Underestimates How Racist and Sexist Many Americans Are...

... give Americans a person to scapegoat and feel superior to based on raced, gender or orientation, and you will almost be at 50 percent.

[Cicada]

24. LBJ had his eyes wide open

But Arizona is tilting our way a little more each year. And the sheriff has problems. He cost his county huge sums for settlements and fines for instance. He is the weakest Republican who might get the nomination.

[world wide wally]

22. I guess Boss Hogg will be next

[truthisfreedom]

25. If I was a betting man Id say no way.

No fucking way.

[Mosby]

26. this is what narcissistic personality disorder looks like

He and Trump are two peas in a pod.

[Paladin]

27. I imagine Charles Manson would have done the same, had he lived long enough. (nt)

[DonViejo]

28. Locking....
