Has Trump really turned on Kari Lake, one of his loudest cheerleaders? Arwa Mahdawi Arwa Mahdawi Her biggest political accomplishment was losing Arizona’s gubernatorial race in 2022 – and now Trump and his team think she might be too thirsty for attention

Sat 8 Jul 2023 09.00 EDT Kari Lake’s career goes bung Let’s say you want to be vice-president of the United States but you don’t have any meaningful political experience and you’ve never held public office. What do you do?

For most normal people, the answer would be to build your political career gradually. Start small, work your way up, and hope that one day your hard work gets you one of the biggest jobs in the world.

But Kari Lake, a self-described “election-denying deplorable” who has helped boost conspiracy theories about Covid vaccines and once called Anthony Fauci an “evil elf”, is not like most normal people. Her two-pronged strategy for rising to the top of the political world? 1) Say as many bigoted and outlandish things as possible, in a bid to generate headlines. 2) Become Donald Trump’s loudest lapdog.

You guys are falling for a MSM hit piece. Freepers aren’t as skeptical as I thought or as they should be.

Lake is on the short list for Trumps VP. And Lake is a hottie who wears short hair very well.

You're calling unnamed sources from Big Media, news?

There are numerous reports beginning last week about the the breakup of Lake and Trump. Several were posted on FR. Do you own reading.

I read those stories. Why would you lecture we about "doing my own reading"??

The sources of those stories were unnamed.

I pointed that out when I read those stories. I pointed it out in my first post to you. And it goes right over your head.

VEEP choice a year away.

IIRC, Rush often mentioned the Left will always let us know who they fear.

Kari Lake has “it” all.

I’m not buying that PDJT shuns her.

I understand the frustration, but it is possible for the GOP to capture some of these swing states in 2024. But not with Trump.

Not with anybody. We now know the Mexican Drug cartels control the elections in Arizona, and there is evidence indicating the Chinese have control of the elections in Georgia and Nevada. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are typical Chicago type crooks.

Till we break them, nothing is going to change.

I DO NOT BELIEVE 2020 was a *REAL* election in those states. Your talk about "winning" is nonsense if they are corrupt, which I thoroughly believe they are.

Of all the serious GOP candidates in the race, Trump is the only one who can unite the Democrats. Nothing inspires Democrat turnout more than Trump on the ballot.

Yeah, they can even turn out more people than exists in their precincts.

In particular, Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, Fulton County, Clark County, Maricopa County have fine tuned Democrat turnout machines,

Not so "fine tuned" because we caught so much evidence of utterly rigged corruption including actual video of a stupid bitch running the exact same stack of ballots through the counting machine over and over and over again.

They were *CAUGHT*, yet nobody in a position of power would do a d@mn thing about it.

They have a not very well tuned *FRAUD MACHINE* but it works because they control the people who would investigate and prosecute

That same operation will be alive and well in 2024...

Well yes it will, and that is exactly what I said in the message to which you are responding. They will use the exact same *CORRUPT* rigged election cheating methods they used successfully in 2020 and 2022.

Stop talking about who can "win." *NOBODY* can win until the election fraud system is taken apart in Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Stop talking about elections as if they are real and based on a candidates positions or popularity. They are rigged and corrupt, and they will return whatever result the corrupt DC power structure wants.

... but also a large contingency that deeply despises him.

So the News Media *LIARS*, who lie for a living, constantly tell us.

You need to look up the Asche Conformity experiments. What they revealed is that 80% of the population will believe whatever they think the majority believes.

The News Liars go to a lot of work to create the fake reality just so they can get a lot of the public to believe their made up crap.

and there is no reason to think the swing states will come back to him in 2024,

No, there is no reason to think *ABSOLUTELY CORRUPT RIGGED ELECTIONS* will result in the swing states being won by Trump.

Do you not grasp what *RIGGED ELECTION* means?

And they won't come back for DeSantis either. They won't be won by anyone not approved by the corrupt DC oligarchy.

Agree.

She would stomp the Sam Donaldsons (Reagan era) and Jake Tappers into the dirt every time.

And do it with a lovely smile.

I personally don’t like short hair on women, but hers is a no-nonsense cut and perfect for her place in life at this time. She wears it well.

Sadly, I have short hair, being old with thinning hair. My glory days are far back in my rear view window.

I see no need to have such hopeless despair. Look at the Glenn Youngkin model in Virginia. He flipped a +10 Democrat state, by combining Trump loyalists with moderates and independents and sent Terry McCauliffe packing. That could be replicated in most of the swing states, but not with Trump.

The most salient statistic for 2024 is from Florida. Trump carried Florida against Biden by 3%. DeSantis carried Florida by 19%. DeSantis showed the ability to make major inroads into areas and groups that are out of reach for Trump. DeSantis could easily carry GA, AZ, WI and NV. He would have an excellent shot at flipping PA, and possibly bring states such as VA and NH into play.

Unfortunately, Trump’s narcissism will not allow him to graciously move over and let this scenario play out. In his mind, it’s all about him.

She cut her hair short.

She has a 1929 hairdo which makes her look really cute!

I prefer long hair, however some women, like Kari, can pull off a short hair doo.

First you show me Trumps path to 270 in 2024. Show your work.

Such arrogance. If there is no path for Trump, there is no path for anyone in the GOP race either. And if you think that's not true.......show your work.

I have no idea what happened in 2020

Really? No idea? Were you under a rock when that happened? 81 million votes came to a man who could not get 100 people to come see him at any event? There's a tremendous amount of good information on what happened, the amount of fraud using mail ins, the overwhelming stories of what they did when they shut down those five states. The mules. Etc. Yet you have no idea? Spare me your ignorance. And your ugly posting of this article.

Do you also have no idea what happened in Arizona to Kari Lake? You may not like her, but she was clearly shafted in that election and should be governor. She's smart, a gifted speaker, has all you could want in a candidate, is a conservative in her bones, yet you don't like her........and post this inane and awful hit piece on her and Trump. Inflaming the RDS types who think it's all true.

You seem like an arrogant prick and troll more than someone interested in a decent dialogue.

If Trump had turned on Kari Lake we would know it.
