re: Kari lake underperforming trump by 11 points in new Arizona poll just out

quote:

---

Usually the down ballot GOP candidate outperforms Trump.

Incumbents, yes.

I haven't noted the same for GOP challengers endorsed by Trump.

I just kind of addressed this on page 2 to YA

quote:

---

Patriots will often say a version of "The movement is bigger than Trump" on the one hand. That movement is "MAGA".

Kari Lake = MAGA, not Trump.

However, Patriots will also say that "Trump is the movement" when it suits them. It moves "MAGA" or "America First" into the same nebulous status as other malleable rhetoric devices they use like "globalism".

---

The goalposts are always ready to move to defend Trump, MAGA, one of his MAGA sycophants, America First, etc.

It just makes even having a discussion difficult (which is what I think YA was originally getting at)

quote:

---

People tolerate/support Trump more than non-Trump MAGA candidates.

If I'm forced to be critical of Kari, she comes off as boring to me. Hell, in terms of women in MAGA MGT, Boebert, Mace, and Luna are more interesting to listen to when they speak. Kari's tone and professional video filter make her slightly milquetoast IMO. The sad part of all this is she would be a really good senator and vote the way most conservatives would like.

I agree. She will also never win an elected office in Arizona after telling McCain supporters to not vote for her. Cut bait and find a better candidate who will have the same voting record as Lake.

I knew it would eventually come out.

This is the reason she is trailing.

Did she really say this?

Good Lord that is a major blunder.

Let's see.

She's at least 33.

She's a U.S. citizen.

She resides in the state she's running in.


Yep, she has them all covered.

She's Trump with tits.

And a lot of people will put up with a guy being an a-hole but can't stand a bitch.

“Speaking to a crowd at a campaign event, Lake said “We don’t have any McCain Republicans in here; do we? Get the hell out!”

Asked about her “get the hell out” comment, also on KTAR News, Lake said, “It was a joke that was said a year before the election."

I don't get the joke if it truly was one - and I've said a lot of things I've thought were funny/jokes that no one else got.

Well, regardless of the MAGA movement, Trump will be President twice, which is all he ever wanted, and it will drive the left completely bonkers until the end of time.

MAGA will go the way of "Yes we Can!" and the Tea Party.

By all measures, Obama was a wildly popular president on the Democrat side, and yet they could not win jack squat during his term.

Under Obama, Democrats suffer largest loss in power since Eisenhower

I hope he burns the establishment to the ground and implements DeSantis' idea to distribute federal agencies throughout the country instead of everything being concentrated in DC.
