Dems fear Kari Lake could be Arizona's governor—and a major MAGA star
Axios ^ | Oct 15 2022 | Jonathan Swan Alexi McCammond

Democratic Party strategists are watching Arizona's Kari Lake with growing alarm.

Why it matters: As some see it, Lake — a 2020 election denier — could easily win the state's gubernatorial race and threaten its 2024 election processes. And with the talent she's already displayed even as a political novice, they see her potential to soar to a vice presidential spot or a post-Trump presidential candidacy.

Zoom in: Of this year's midterm elections slate of "ultra MAGA" candidates, Lake has perhaps the best chance of winning.

The polls are neck-and-neck. Some Democrats are venting frustration that Katie Hobbs is not presenting a stronger challenge to Lake. Hobbs has refused to debate Lake, which some say signals fear and amounts to "political malpractice." What they're saying: David Plouffe, the architect of Barack Obama's 2008 victory, told Axios that Lake looks like a "plausible presidential candidate."

David Axelrod, another key former Obama adviser, offered this assessment of Lake's 20+ years in Arizona local TV before her entrance last year into politics: "If you get a candidate who has the performance skills of a major market local TV anchor and the philosophy and thinking of Steve Bannon, that's a potent and dangerous combination ... Look at Italy."

If anyone knows how to make the text of this letter appear please do so - but it is about the fraud in Arizona that has apparently been ongoing.

Lake is intelligent, quick witted, and has zero fear.

“...philosophy and thinking of Steve Bannon, that’s a potent and dangerous combination ... Look at Italy.”

As if Italy has become North Korea. What a joke clown Axelrod is. The USA is close to becoming a failed state under the quisling puppet Biden. Axelrod was never concerned about the purple lip stained bisexual Marxist Obama and the damage that he did to America. /spit

Saguaro Lake in Arizona should be renamed to Kari Lake.

If they [the Demonrats] don’t cheat her out of it, there is a good chance she may. Beware that the Establishment Republicans don’t join forces with the Demonrats and do her in. She is fighting both the Republicans and Demonrats. Never underestimate a Demonrat.

The “election denier” label is classic Alinksky. Hobbs is the SOS, you can’t get more conflicted. Lake will need an army of election watchers to stop these cheating bastards.

“ Lake is intelligent, quick witted, and has zero fear.”

She’s also NOT a neocon McCainiac on foreign policy. She opposed Bush’s war in Iraq and tweeted against Biden’s subsidies to Ukraine. Is it any wonder why Liz Cheney hates her?

Hope she wear Kevlar vests and keeps security close.
I’m afraid of what frustrated and desperate Dems will do.

Scalise baseball game situations after seeing some inflammatory CNN types babbling on TV against conservatives are also dangerous.

The DeSantis has his work cut out for him in a couple of years.

I think Smiley has a great chance - the rats have presided over Seattle becoming a dangerous $hit hole. There is nothing attractive about Murray and all she can do is scream abortion abortion abortion.

I was push polled the other night apparently for Kim Schrier - a guy I could barely understand started into attacks on The Freedom Caucus and I finally said I don’t care about any of that - I’m not voting for a Democrat.

Just saw an ad against Schrier’s opponent - he’s “dangerous” - one reason is he’s dangerous to women’s health because he opposes killing babies. The way these people have twisted the issue is unbelievable.

To the Democrat Socialists - be afraid. Be very afraid.

Kari Lake is coming for you, and she takes no prisoners.

The Arizona border with Mexico will be strong again. Whether Joe Biden does anything or not.

Depressing to me that the polls are even close.

Better than Katie Hobbs even after Hobbs has complete makeover, I guarantee you. Even Witchiepoo from JR Puffinstuff looks better than Hobbs.
