Every day I'm getting more depressed about this race. If Hobbs loses, which it's looking more and more likely she will, she needs to be drummed out of AZ politics (and preferably the state) for good. She's blowing this race right and left, and it's sad that nobody better stepped up and ran.
And yet I still dare to hope Hobbs might win. If "Roevember" (eye roll) becomes a thing, or if just enough people wake up and see how batsh**t nuts Qari Lake is, there's still hope. But I'm afraid we're getting to the point where desperate hope is ALL there is.
Regardless, I don't think there's any chance of a blowout win by Lake. As we've mentioned, she's making virtually no effort to reach out to the middle or moderate. But all she needs is a plurality to get in there and wreak God knows what kind of havoc here.
But how? Leftists online want to just keep running with this narrative and yet where's the proof? She's out campaigning, she's on TV (I've seen multiple hits just this week), the DGA/Hobbs campaign together are out maneuvering Lake/RGA on the air, it was 2:1 most recently in terms of spend.
Meanwhile, Lake is out here embarrassing herself most days with ridiculous stunts and press conferences, of which who is the target here other than hardcore Republicans?
I'm not in Arizona, but it feels like the narrative that some want to say about this race is much different than what is actually happening in reality. Not sure what else Hobbs should be doing that she's not doing now? She's not a bombastic personality and never has been, and I don't think anybody wants her to be.
You could make the exact same argument that Lake is "blowing" this race by not moderating whatsoever and relying on pure stunts for attention. Getting attention does not mean you are getting ahead in a race.
You're gonna OD if you take any more copium. Hobbs has been running from debates and any confrontation. It portrays her as weak and flaky whereas Lake is projecting strength by calling her out and challenging her. Arizona went for Biden but it isn't exactly a liberal state. Despite what you or I may think of her positions, AZ voters probably aren't THAT turned off by them, at least not as much as they were by Trump's flat unstable personality. Hobbs is doing everything she can to blow this race and it looks like she's going to. Watching the TV appearances where she's pressed on the debate issue is downright painful.
