....some politicians just don't know when to quit.

Former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who for years has teased potential runs for higher office, has told the Washington, D.C.-based Washington Examiner that he is running for the U.S. Senate in Arizona.

“I have a lot to offer. I’m a big supporter of President Trump,” Arpaio was quoted as saying in the Examiner. “I’m going to have to work hard; you don’t take anything for granted. But I would not being doing this if I thought that I could not win. I’m not here to get my name in the paper, I get that everyday, anyway.”

He is 85 years old....

Well of COURSE he is. He'll have the full support of the Trump White House.

oxymoron?

Two unrelated sentences. Also could be stated as "I have a lot to offer. I like my sandwiches cut diagonally."

And if you think that simply supporting Trump is the sign of someone worth taking seriously, remember that David Duke and Richard Spencer fall in that category.

The White House has endorsed someone else.

...hard to say who the White House endorsed. The favorite was Kelli Ward but that was before the Trump / Bannon break up. Ward was fawning all over Bannon the last time the Trump team blew into town (Trump skipped her event)

Older people tend to have more wisdom than younger people.
