She really is just the f***ing worst.

Now I'm just picturing Lake driving to the airport, making herself look like she's travelling, and ambushing Gallego out of the bathroom near his terminal.

I wouldn't put it past her.

Wonder if Lake will try to pull a similar stunt on Sinema or if she doesn't really view Sinema as a threat to her chances of winning (could also be because Sinema isn't officially in the race yet). I can't even imagine what Sinema would do in this scenario. But she probably does like this exchange since she can use it as proof of being above the fray of partisan bickering.

Lake goes after everyone lol I'm sure she'll confront her over Trump or something.
Ngl a good strategy for Lake would be to attack Sinema and force her to defend her left-wing positions, therefore making her less popular with Republicans.

It would be risky because a large reason why these Republicans like Sinema and not her/Trump is temperament. The “Kari Lake bullies people” strategy does not endear her to them and makes her look weak and dumb (meanwhile, the average GOP primary voter thinks it projects strength…part of the reason why Trumpism is an electoral gamble).

I do have to wonder if an underrated factor in the GOP's underperformance last year with candidates like Lake could simply have been because they just plain come off as a**holes.

It's official:

PHOENIX -- Republican Kari Lake, a popular former local news anchor, self-described "MAGA Mama Bear" and staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, will launch a campaign for the U.S. Senate at a rally in Scottsdale, Arizona, on Tuesday night, nearly a year after losing the state's gubernatorial race -- a defeat she still refuses to concede.

Tilt D -> Lean D

Really looking forward to watching this C-word lose again.

It's funny you say that because that's how my mom described Lake during last year's elections when her race started getting national attention.

She hates that word, by the way. So that says a lot.

Are people going to buy that? I think it's too late for the GOP to backpeddle on abortion after half a century of wanting it banned. That goal is too ingrained in peoples' perceptions of the Republican Party, especially after they succeeded in it. Why should they be trusted to not just be delivering lip-service?

I don't think many supporters of reproductive freedom will accept anything less than abortion being a gealth care decision between a woman and her doctor. And we shouldn't settle for anything short of that!

That was the first time I ever liked something Meghan McCain said.

Gallego's got this! It's going to be an upgrade.

If Democrats miraculously defend all their seats this year and keep the White House, losing Manchin and Sinema will be close to netting two seats. I really believe that still.

Mo Brooks situation imminent?

I think its too late for that. And any alternatives probably aren't much better.

Community events aren't a bad idea. I just hope this doesn't come across as culturally insensitive pandering.

Considering that Gallego is Mexican, I think it will be fine.
