It's the ones from deep red districts vs the ones who need to work to get re-elected. Looks like the crazies are willing to throw their own people under the bus. Republicans have zero long term strategy.

You’d think that, but since the 80s they’ve managed to do an enormous amount of damage and drag the country to the brink of ruin just by being obstructionist and crazy. Seems like a strategy, and a fairly effective one.

Let's get the initiative on the ballot and we can just decide this for ourselves, bypassing the Legislature and preventing them from messing with it in the future. The Legislature has very limited ability to amend public initiative ballot measures in AZ.
