re: I’ll say it again… Kari Lake is a trash candidate

quote:

---

Other than the Governor, AZ has two Dem Senators, a Dem AG, and a Dem SoS. Did Lake lose all of those races? The state has shifted.

---

Martha McSally, an even worse candidate than Lake, can be thanked for losing both Senate seats in the first place.

quote:

---

If she doesn’t pull this one out I’m gonna have to pin her as a Beto/Abrams Republican adjacent

---

I have a theory, that the reticence of voters about her comes from her media training.

She comes across as a very well spoken storyteller who knows exactly what to say to an audience and how to engage them, because that's exactly who she is and what she was trained to do. It doesn't help her cause, because an almost universal trait of the MAGA/America First movement is a resounding distrust of the media.

I speak only for myself, but I can say with certainly that I personally have always been hesitant about her for this exact reason. Hopefully she'll pull out a win and prove my fears as unjustified.

And still.. every statewide office is held by a Democrat

Not to split hairs here, but that's not true.

Moreover, Kari Lake wasn't the only poor Republican candidate for office. Martha McSally was awful and Blake Masters creeped women out. Abe Hamadeh losing the AG race is the only one that's inexplicable.

"she's a bad candidate because she loses" is not a the reason why she loses.

That is literally how the whole democracy thing works lol

Like I love Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul more than any other politicians. They are way better on policy than Trump is. But they are bad candidates for president.

Why?

Because they lose

She's Trump with tits.

People don't care for loud, aggressive and confrontational women.

And by the way, she was a big time Obama supporter. There are questions about her sincerity.


I know you will discount, but thems the facts.

FU . I have voted straight Republican my whole life. How ignorant do you have to be to think EVERY Republican candidate is good. Let me be clear, I voted for her, my wife voted for her, but she is very unlikeable.
But again, Please GFY for being so god damn blind to a candidate that continues to underperform as the Republican Presidential candidate wins. fricking Idiot.

I’m not sure her firebrand style is right for Arizona voters, which tend to be moderate if you look at their past Senators like McCain and Jeff Flake (as much as I hate them).

She would do better in a more conservative state like Oklahoma, Wyoming, etc who are more likely to vote for a farther right candidate

Exactly where weve gone from 28th to 49th in education. State is filled with morons....

I don’t see how it can be argued

And I don’t want to hear muh chear arguments or claims. It makes no sense that Trump can win a state, and then the Republican senate nominee doesn’t. Even if there was a bunch of cheating, the only reason the vote share isn’t 1:1 is because a huge number of the LEGITIMATE ballots split the ticket. A theoretical fake ballot would OBVIOUSLY vote against both Trump and Lake.

People need to get real about things. Just because the media lies and gaslights us so hard doesn’t mean every single thing that’s true is a complete inversion.

I dont see LA voting for a democrat president anytime soon but i could easily see our next governor being a democrat.
