Kari Lake had a prime opportunity to knock out Democrat Katie Hobbs in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial race. Sure, there were election shenanigans in Maricopa County, but the state GOP was also at fault for not tightening up the works there. It’s a race that once and for all settled the issue about ballot harvesting: if it’s legal, the GOP must get going on creating its operation. I wouldn’t say I like it since it’s quasi-voter fraud, but it won’t be banned at the federal level, and the states—Michigan and Pennsylvania—that could potentially ban it had blue waves crash into one or both chambers of their respective legislatures. The Election Day vote is not enough to counter the left-wing horde of ballot-harvested votes. A good test could be in the Grand Canyon State in 2024, which presents another political opportunity for Ms. Lake. That would be challenging Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) (via Newsweek):
Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema’s hopes of being re-elected as an Independent are currently looking out of reach with a poll suggesting she would be soundly beaten by not only potential Democratic challenger Ruben Gallego but former GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.
A survey from BluePrint Polling, which works with the Democratic Party, found that Trump-endorsed election denier Lake would come out on top in a hypothetical 2024 Arizona Senate Race (35.7 percent), followed by Representative Gallego at 31.9 percent, and Sinema a distant third at 13.8 percent.
Another 18.6 percent of people surveyed answered “unsure” when asked who they would vote for if the Arizona Senate race was between Sinema, Lake or Gallego.
So, the polling looks solid, but we’re generations away from Election Day 2024—anything can happen. It’s also the Democrats’ nightmare regarding this race since their Senate map next cycle has the potential to devolve into a killing field. No joke—if the GOP cannot retake the upper chamber in 2024, given how favorable that map is—the party should retire from politics.
Lake did have the benefit of personal attack ads portraying her as insane fall short since people knew her personally for years as a television journalist. She was in the home of Arizonans for decades, but that might have degraded a little bit, especially as she carried on her legal fight over the 2022 results. This could be another opportunity for a comeback, but the GOP and its operative class must get a ballot harvesting scheme going, along with the other aspects of running a campaign.
Hire a Sniper and put an end to Hobbs!!
That should be her next political move!!
I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!!!
Hanging is better. Upside down. As it was dine to Comrade Mussolini.
We have got to get a handle on election fraud BEFORE the election. We know which counties will be problematic. Republicans need to be on the ground DURING the election making sure ballots are contested when it happens. If need be, they need drop box watchers or facial recognition cameras recording multiple drops. Republicans need to be proactive, not reactive. In every state they have a majority, they need to return to an election day with in person voting and voter picture ID. Of course, absentee ballots should be allowed within certain legitimate parameters, but they need to also show ID. Republicans need to make sure fraudulent votes aren’t counted in the first place. Once a winner is declared, it is an almost impossible battle to reverse even if the fraud to shown to exist. What happened to good ol’ fashion poll watchers.
Mike, I can certainly agree with you on most of what you have written. The thing I see is we as an nation have to go back to the way our founding fathers prescribe in the states each state has its own legislators that are supposed to regulate the voting but having state judges that are Progressives Marxist making decisions is just wrong, and needs to stop. If the conservatives gain the senate 2024 and still hold the lower house of representatives and put America back on track the way it was meant to be run in this country. We have a sickness in this country now that has been this way for many years it’s called SOCIALISM it’s wrong for America it is prevented and evil. For the last two years, this Administration in Washington DC is the worst this country has ever had, the man the democrats say is our president is a criminal in my opinion although not yet proven the Biden crime family is being investigated now one can hope he and his minions are brought to justice in the near future.
We seriously need to rid the Senate of Mitch “The Turtle” McConnell, thanks to that old swamp monster some RINO’s got re-elected in the midterms as he manipulated where campaign funds were allocated. The RNC also did a piss poor job of backing Conservatives, hopefully a leadership change will shape them up.
McConnell should be Turtle Food!!!
Well I’d just like to say’ In any election KARI LAKE ENTERS IT WILL MATCH AS CLOSE AS LIZ CHENEY THE RHINOS LOSS. KARI LAKE IS A VERY CREDIBLE AND HIGHLY ENDORSED CANDIDATE. NOT JUST BY TRUMPS SQUAD. IM TALKING REAL EVERYDAY HUMANS WITH CREDIBLE MASS BETWEEN THEIR EARS. SAY WHAT YOU MAY. THE LAKE TEAM IS HERE TO STAY!!!!!
It’s really ridiculous that we have to stoop to their level just to win. That’s why we don’t win because most of US won’t do that since it’s not God’s way.
