In 2016 Ward challenged McCain in the R primary. The establishment sent in two candidates to split the conservative vote. McCain cruised to victory.

They are doing the same thing now. Arpaio is running to take votes away from Ward and allow McSally a comfortable victory. Arpaio has no interest in being a Senator. I predict it will work again.
