Lake is off her rocker, lmao. “Do you think I won, Blake? Do you think I won?”

Very Norma Desmond, Sunset Blvd.

Hoping they destroy each other and let Lamb win the primary by taking the majority of the conservative vote.

It feels like 2024 is going to be the same recruitment failure for Republicans as was 2022. The map actually puts them in a decent position to regain the senate majority, even if Biden wins reelection. It would be beyond hilarious if they blow it due to terrible candidates.

They can have a total debacle of a Senate cycle and still pick up the Senate. Manchin's seat is effectively gone and with that, really R seats like Montana or Ohio (not and, or) are all the Rs need to get to 51-49. Now granted, 51-49 would be a huge letdown for Rs who as recently as a year ago were saying that by 2025 they'd have 60 Senate seats. But it'd still put the GOP in the Majority.

If Trump wins, Republicans just need Manchin's seat and they have the senate.

Kari Lake seems unwell from that article. She honestly thinks she won in 2022. It's actually really sad to see.

She has been ranting about 2022 ever since Hobbs was declared the winner. It's a new GOP trend not concede lost races anymore.

It’s not a trend, at least not yet. Trump and Lake are really the only ones who didn’t concede.

Mastriano didn't either, just some sort of drafted letter by an aide. Roy Moore didn't concede either, as did the 3rd in GA's 2022 gubernatorial primary.

I'm still not entirely convinced Lake actually believes what she's saying. To me it still comes off like a total bit. She's trying to *convince* people she believes this stuff, but deep down I don't think I buy she actually believes it. She's essentially just furthering this caricature because she thinks it will help her politically imo

Kandiss Taylor?  She's still claiming the primary was stolen from her^*.  She's way, way around the bend.

* - Taylor got 3% of the vote.

You mean Donald Trump but with breasts? Gotcha

I'm no fan of Mastriano, but he literally did. Even if that statement was written by some aide, it still had his name on it and made it clear that he was conceding the election.

Someone fill me in on why Masters would step aside for Lake if he doesn’t think she’d win. Is she just THE top dog of the Arizona GOP that you can’t challenge?

Because Lake is unbeatable in a primary.

She is not. She barely won her first primary in 2022 and got under 50% of the vote in that.

That was when the establishment threw literally everything they had at her and MASSIVELY outspent her. Also she was less popular back then.

I don't recall Roy Moore ever conceding to Doug Jones either.

Yeah, this phone call story sounds like a setup by Lake and her team in an effort to undermine Masters if he tries to run for Senate. Lake is a veteran in the media industry and knows her audience. I also don’t think Lake is crazy. She belongs to a new class of celebrity politicians that are willing to throw democratic norms and institutions under the bus in pursuit of power. I’d actually prefer it if she was just crazy.

Masters feels like he’s shaping up to be the DeSantis to Lake’s Trump.

[Shaula🏳️‍⚧️]

Idk. Masters seems more adaptable like Trump is whereas Lake is more set in her ways and refuses to change. But in terms of their original support bases absolutely.

[President Johnson]

Still no word on whether Sinema is actually launching a vanity run? Wikipedia just says she "filled paperwork", which is a standard procedure.

[RussFeingoldWasRobbed]

 Masters seems to have learned from his mistakes. I don’t know if it will be enough to beat Gallego but Lake would be far weaker

Masters would still lose

She definitely is unbeatable by Blake Masters though

Lake just posted this on Twitter, it appears that IT is happening soon
