Kari Lake

I actually don't know much about her political stances or what kind of governor she would make, but man is she a badass with the MSM. Lotsa Kayleigh McEnany vibes.  =)

She donated to Obama.

I remember many newscasts she made here when she was an anchor, toeing the LeftSpeak line.

I think her mouth is for hire.  She's just done as an anchor and has found a new line of work in right-populism.

Maybe she’s been red-pilled.  As a newscaster she mostly just read a script someone else wrote.  Or she’s exactly what you think.  🤷‍♂️

Anyone can change.  Probably better than the alternative.  Watch what she does as well as what she says.

Lots of former Ds eventually wised up and became Rs. Some (Ronald Reagan, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman, Herman Cain) did generally well as Rs,  others (Michael Bloomberg) not so much.

My mother used to mention that Reagan used to be involved in the Hollywood actor's guild and found himself against those that leaned toward communism.  I know next to nothing about that so there is likely more to it.  I do recall many thought he would be a fairly liberal President when he ran.

Also, Ben Nighthorse Campbell from CO, D>R.

It is generally assumed that Bloomberg only switched parties to circumvent New York City's Mayoral term limit requirements, not for any change of heart in policies.  That's the general assumption, which can be challenged, but I find it more than a little believable.

I find it absolutely believable. The guy is the textbook definition of a weasel, both in acts and looks.

Read a whineatorial this morning that was bitching blue thunder about Arizona Democrats completely mishandling the their approach to the Arizona election.

First, they out and out meddled in the Republican primary by taking out adds for Lake's opponent (who had been a former Democrat). Lake won handily.

Then the Dems nominated as their own candidate the absolutely worst possible choice who apparently has zero on-camera presence and not much more in-person presence...

While Lake is a former TV personality who knows exactly how to use the medium to best effect.

Then there's the fact that the Democratic candidate refuses to debate because she knows she'd be eaten alive.

It was a FUN read!

Yep, she got her start on TV in Davenport while she was in college.

Only 90%?

I'd say it's closer to 140%, at least on the liberal side, and about 99% on the conservative side.

I like the tail-end dig at the end of the letter...

"Paid for by Liz Cheney. Authorized by Kari Lake."

WOW!

That is top level FU in your face trolling right there!

Wow. Back in early September Hobbs was leading Lake by 1 percentage point.

In fairness, while Lake has been running a hysterically awesome campaign, Hobbs has been giving her an incredible boost.

Oh hell yeah, without a doubt. The more I dig into it the more I see that it's been one of the most pathetically inept campaigns I've ever seen.

I think my favorite part is the guy approaching her at a restaurant, and she's terrified. (Is she afraid of black men?) She's desperate to get away, and spills her drink, and just leaves it there, and hides in the restroom. It's the leadership Arizona needs.

PJ Veritas crowd hit a Grand Slam with that one, that was incredibly inept .

 I do not know anything really about Lake, and she's been backed by Tulsi who has yet to denounce her anti-gun stuff - so I remain very suspicious - big big big HOWEVER - Lake's years in the TV biz is really making her entertaining - I really like how she handles the dumb reporters

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Tulsi will be on Jac Carr's Danger Close podcast Wednesday.  I wonder if 2A will be addressed and if she's changed her view.
