Arizona Establishment Republicans Sound the Alarm After a Kari Lake-Led MAGA Primary Sweep: ‘A Catastrophe’ for ‘Our Democracy’

As the dust continues to settle after the MAGA-wing of the Republican Party trounced the so-called establishment wing of the party in Arizona, many of the GOP’s old guard are sounding the alarm that the party is headed for a total wipeout come November in the now purple state.

“I will call in a bit to talk about the doomsday ticket,” Barrett Marson, a Republican political strategist told Politico’s David Siders, but first “let me wake up and finish crying.”

Siders adds, using a perfect illustration for the moment, “A prominent Republican in the state had texted him a GIF of Thelma and Louise driving off the cliff.”

On Tuesday night, Republican voters in Arizona were the latest across the country to weigh in on the battle within the GOP for its future. In the gubernatorial race, the Trump-backed, election-denying Kari Lake was facing off against Pence-backed Karrin Taylor Robson whose work in GOP politics traces back to Ronald Reagan.

The chair of the Arizona Republican Party, Kelli Ward, celebrated Lake’s apparent victory on Wednesday — the race remains too close to call with Lake at 46.2% and Robson at 44.4% as of Thursday morning — and called the GOP’s slate of candidates an “exorcism of John McCain.”

The Marxist media attempting to sow discord.

Nothing new under the sun.

Few things fire me up like “Our Democracy”

The United States of America is a Constitutional Republic and that there is a big difference.

It’s funny that the GOPe never calls Democrats a threat to Democracy.

Funny how they never fight the Rats, but only members of their own party.

They truly are part of the uniparty and only care about power.

Well said. And with the RINOs’ drama-queen reaction to the primary, they showed their true colors even more.

A vast difference. Democrats say “our democracy” all the time and now it looks like RINOs screech it too. I’ve often wondered if this is deliberate.

Or are they all really that stupid?

No, it isn’t really that simple.

Words mean things. When you agree to their premise in an argument, you will lose, every time. Here’s a recent example -

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4083753/posts

“Los Angeles voters to decide if Hotels have to house Bums and Vagrants”

You can see where this is going. 51% of the people vote to steal the other 49% stuff.

Democracy (noun) “A system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.”

About that definition. That’s the anodyne PC word salad description.

The US Army described it thusly:

Democracy, n.: A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of direct expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic... negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether it is based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Result is demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, [chaos].

Sound familiar? It should.

Politico and Mediaite are great publications with their fat palms on the pulse on Arizona voters. Uh huh.

“Mark Kelly and Kristin Senema were installed through election fraud.”

As was Katy Hobbs.

Freaking morons!
The “problem” is that we now live in tyranny caused by a democracy...
Precisely what the Founding Fathers worried about and, therefore, created a Republic (long since gone)...

Kari got 380,000 votes and probably more since
the count was done by Hobbs who didn’t recuse
herself

I expect at least half the rest of the GOP
to back Kari who deserves their support.

I predict Kari will win. Hobbs couldn’t even
count ballots within 24 hours like we do here
in Florida with 2 time zones and many times the
number of votes to count.

They have one more chance to cheat. Expect them to take full advantage of it. Evil never rests, sleeps, or takes a day off. And these are extremely, extremely, extremely evil people. You can believe it or not.

“Consultants” are hired mouthpieces. They hate MAGA candidates because they know how to speak for themselves, and the phoney experts will soon be out of the money stream.

100% accurate. A VERY ASTUTE OBSERVATION.

“Our Democracy” is the Demonrat Party. If a Republican is using this phrase, they are a Demonrat agent. Period.

Ok...and Lake nearly lost due to fraud.

The fraud is STILL there, apparently.

Which is my worry...
