So stupid on Lake's part because AZ is exactly the kind of state where an old school Republican like Liz Cheney might actually carry weight.

You haven't seen the end of Kari Lake, I am warning you right now.

Maybe she'll go on Fox News or something. Who cares?

You'll be singing a different tune when if she is Senator in 2025, Governor in 2027 or President in 2033

LOL, imagine being this delusional.

Lake is FINISHED.

She's more likely to be serving me french fries after this than ever being elected to high office.

This election in a nutshell:

[Alben Barkley]

I am happy that Hobbs won..but just because Hobbs won doesn't necessarily mean she ran a great campaign. Her favorables were meh and she just came across a bland boring candidate..this election for me looked more like it was about Lake and in the end Lake acted bit too crazily and ended up losing. I think Hobbs would have lost if Lake acted just slightly more sanely.

I would like to get any insight from Arizonians here on this race and my assessment.

Watch Hobbs turn out to be an amazing governor with presidential buzz after all this lol.

Sometimes greatness comes from the people you least expect, after all. Harry Truman is Exhibit A, and this was certainly a Truman-esque win on her part.

And he was Lt. Gov.

Running against Dr. Oz.

They both were running against far more "unqualified" candidates for that matter.

Her appearance will be made fun of....Kari Lake is more attractive........

Are you trying to fast track getting banned again?

Or, if you really wanna go there, have you seen Lake with her filter off?

Hoffman losing prevented this from being a Democratic sweep of the statewide offices, right?

Also the GOP has majorities of just 1 in both the state House and Senate... damn, so close to a blue wave completely overtaking the state!

As for this nonsense about Californians turning AZ blue, doesn't even make sense considering most of the Californians leaving the state actually lean right and are trying to escape liberal policies. Many retirees move to AZ too, just like Florida. No, the GOP just needs to accept that they have turned off a ton of independents and moderate Rs in the state. In part by being one of the craziest state parties and in part by tying themselves to a man who vocally hated John McCain.

He can cry all he wants but nobody’s going to be storming the Capitol for him. He’s done.
