According to CNN’s Chris Cillizza, conservative Republican Martha McSally’s win in the Arizona Senate primary wasn’t a win for conservatives because the real conservatives are Kelli Ward and Joe Arpaio:
Conservatives have struck out repeatedly in Arizona Senate primaries.
Hayworth loses to McCain in 2010
Ward loses to McCain in 2016
Ward and Arpaio lose to McSally in 2018

Who wants to tell him?
One of the things that was interesting about early Twitter was that it could actually put you in contact with big people.
That was early Twitter, dummies. Cillizza will never hear you protesting that McSally is a conservative. And he would never want to. https://t.co/lAcHLLdvV4

Honestly … can Cillizza explain this tweet?
Those… those look like conservative victories to me https://t.co/BPdcbzUB5f

Can’t stop, won’t stop:
McCain and McSally are conservatives.
Please stop this foolishness. https://t.co/VlrQewkRIa

And:
John McCain was a conservative.
Martha McSally is a conservative.
Ward & Arpaio were kooks.Stop being a dumbass. https://t.co/NOAPe00ERN

Because if this really is what he thinks “conservatives look like,” then there’s a problem
When this is what a respected journalist thinks is what conservatives look like, no wonder the media have blindspots…. #amdh https://t.co/r2BPbjZ9uy

And he doesn’t get that, at all:
Neither Ward or Arpaio are conservatives, and it’s kind of telling that you don’t realize that.

And it’s not a secret. Take abortion, for example:
McSally was more pro-life than Ward https://t.co/iq4pgx6ygh

Or maybe Cillizza has another word to describe McSally for us?
What exactly do you call Martha McSally if not conservative? https://t.co/OEf7VE8kaP

The idea that Martha McSally is not a conservative is, not to be too harsh, uninformed. https://t.co/4Z7l8aOWkR
