I just don’t understand what a woman in her late 50s sees in a rich old man in his 90s other than dollar signs TBH.

He was in his late '80s when they married. He looks in pretty good shape in the photo from that year. Some guys are charismatic even in their old age. If he wanted a "trophy wife" he would have aimed younger and probably outside of his profession (they were both in real estate development). Something along the lines of what oldsters like Rupert Murdoch does.

Jeb! got TRIPLE the delegates that the pride of Pa. Arlen Specter won years ago, and that’s saying something.

Winning has little to do about money and a lot to do with message. A Trump endorsement helps too.

“This is why the RINO’s fear Trump and his MAGA posse.

Money will no longer keep the RINO’s in power.”

++++

This is dead-on. People previously voted for the one the party spent the money on because they thought the leadership knew best. Now, people are digging deeper and looking into the candidate’s past statements and positions. No more “flip-flop” McCains!

I'm just happy Pence got skewered.

Hey, where are the “Pence’s influence is declining!” stories?

GOP Operative …. GOP Strategist ……. Translation……quasi Republican grifter/UNIPARTY/Establishment/Chamber of Commerce/RINO/CountryClub/NationalReview/Ryan-Cantor wannabe clown that makes a living telling a candidate what to do and say. And has no idea what regular people think or care about.

Kari Lake…..like the guy that supported her. Speak plainly. Take a position and defend it. And every once in a while, say some controversial things that will get you all the free air time they can give you. And don’t back down from the media.

Lake is a vocal proponent of Trump’s unsupported stolen election claims\


This from the WAShington EXaminer, a supposed “conservative” rag.

Kari, God Bless her, must be causing some acid indigestion.

GOOD FOR HER

former Sens. Jon Kyl and John McCain, each being elected several times between them.

Perhaps the Washington Examiner should spend $50,000 to hire a research person to look up how many times Kyl and McCain were elected? Kyl was elected three times and McCain six.

It took all of four minutes to find that out.

Made it closer in the end, but Lake already had a solidified base of support. She got exactly what she was polling at - 48% - most polls showed her at mid to upper 40s.

She also won by 5 points - meaning had it not been for ultra slow counting, this race would have been called on election night and she could have had a big victory speech and fanfare. She was robbed of it...for a supposedly “close” race - it was not that close with a 5 point victory - not a landslide - but 5 points is a solid victory.

If she gets outspent 18-1 in the general I would say she’s toast.

Why do wealthy people run for office? Only nefarious reasons.

I wonder if the establishment Republicans that supported Robson gave any consideration to her hubby’s dinero and her upcoming inheritance...
