One way to stand out in the Arizona gubernatorial primary’s crowded field of Republican candidates is to appear shirtless in a campaign ad.
Frank Riggs, an Army veteran and former U.S. congressman from California, opens an ad released Tuesday with shots of himself pumping iron while wearing an Army baseball hat.
“Arizona needs a strong governor,” Riggs says in the ad. He then promises to secure the state’s border and fight the “Obamanization of America” by repealing Common Core and blocking Medicaid expansion.
“Sure it’s a tough job, and I’m just the guy to do it,” Riggs concludes over a shot of him doing shirtless pull-ups.

Or the Putinization of Arizona…
Frank Riggs, hereby the winner of the Douche du Jour Award…
Don’t scoff, people. He’s everything modern Republicans want in a leader. It’s almost as if he hired some cynical sociopathic political marketing consultant or something who had a checklist for this commercial . . .
Is this Putin in disguise ???
This will never win the bizarro sweepstakes. No demon sheep, he doesn’t shoot anything, and actually he looks like he’s in good shape for 63. In a suit he just looks like an old guy. What’s remarkable to me is how unremarkable it is that he promises that the state’s children won’t be held to reasonably high educational standards if he’s elected (on day one!) and poor people won’t get medical care.
