The soap opera continues.

Convicted criminal and disgraced sheriff? Add a history of sexual assault and you've got the perfect Trump-era GOP candidate.

In reading the whole article; this would probably be a good thing for the Democrats.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

I would hope and expect a large Hispanic voter turn-out, just based on his perspectives and treatment of them.

Democrats probably thought that of Trump too.

Apparently, Arpiao doesn't understand what it means to accept a pardon: https://www.rawstory.com/2018/01/joe-arpaio-learns-about-guilt-on-tv/

Sheriff Joe vs. Norway: Who Better Fixes Inmates?
...Sheriff Joe’s logic is summed up by his position on coffee. He quit serving jail java on the grounds that it has no nutritional value. When prisoners complained, he responded with, “This isn’t the Ritz Carlton. If you don’t like it, don’t come back.”

His rationale has great appeal to gritty disciplinarians. Criminals are evil: Punish them. If America treated outlaws more harshly, they would straighten up and fly right....

Contrast this with the Scandinavian model...
Norwegian logic is summed up by Bastøy’s prison governor, Arne Kvernvik Nilsen: “Both society and the individual simply have to put aside their desire for revenge, and stop focusing on prisons as places of punishment and pain. Depriving a person of their freedom for a period of time is sufficient punishment in itself without any need whatsoever for harsh prison conditions.”

From a sheer financial perspective, we ought to side with Nilsen. Noting that it’s difficult to compare prisoner statistics between vastly different countries and demographics, Norway’s recidivism rate (when a released felon commits a crime and returns to prison) is shockingly low. The average recidivism rate in Europe is 70-75%. In Norway it’s 20%.

Meanwhile, the Arizona Prosecuting Attorneys’ Advisory Council found that 83.8% of the state’s current inmates had prior adult felony conviction or juvenile adjudications, and 56% had two or more prior felonies.

Financially speaking, the Norwegian model of resort-style prisons is a lot cheaper overall. Because the felons don’t come back: they go get jobs.

and from a separate story:

His re-election defeat came amid a crush of criticism over the $141 million in legal costs that Maricopa County taxpayers footed for defending him in lawsuits focused on his immigration policies, the deaths of inmates in his jails and a child sex abuse case that was botched by his department's investigators.

Oh the republicans of Maricopa County. They, Arpaio and trump deserve each other. If you want to be stupid, if you want to remain ignorant, justice demands payment.
