Trump told Masters he’d likely lose to Lake in Arizona: report
The Hill ^ | 09/10/2023 | Nick Robertson

Posted on 09/10/2023 9:47:46 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump warned Blake Masters that he is likely to lose an Arizona Senate primary to Kari Lake in 2024, The New York Times reported Friday.

The Times report claims Trump called Masters on Sunday to make the blunt prediction, in what would be a move inconsistent with his 2024 strategy so far of generally staying out of down-ballot Republican races.

When do RINOs help Conservatives reformists/outsiders win ? They’re there to sabotage and ultimately help Demonrats win. That’s their M.O., has been for decades.

Look what AZ RINOs did to Gov. Evan Mecham. He got the “Trump Treatment” 30 years ahead of time.

For once in a long time, Trump is right.
But his gal Kari Lake is a stone-cold loser, too.

Stone-Cold Loser? What happened in 2020 and 2022 in Maricopa County isn’t about someone being a ‘stone-cold loser’ it’s about fraud. Sooner people realize it’s not a ‘candidate problem’ it’s a civil rights problems, the sooner we have a Republic again.

Then expect to keep losing elections, 100% of the people who supported McCain are not RINOs, you have to court them, you certainly don’t tell them to get hell out of your rallies.

The object of the game is to attract voters not to alienate them.

Having her as Govenor probably would have taken AZ out of play for the Rats against Trump. Now, who knows, they’ll just cheat again.

You're only saying that because she's a Trump supporter, not a DeSantis drooler.

Except she didn’t lose. Which was my point in the first place.

You keep saying that, I’m sure you believe that, but until some court or other official act says otherwise, it’s simply not true.

I keep saying it because it’s true. Gov-elect Lake’s election was stolen. So was Masters, so was the Sec of State and AG races, too. And President Trump’s.

Waiting for or respecting the equally cowardly or corrupt kangaroo courts to rectify and correct the theft is a fool’s errand.

It’s hard to argue with the belief in something that isn’t true.

You could swap the name Kari Lake with Stacy Abrams and the arguments are the same, no Republican believed Abrams and Kemp became Governor, the exact same thing in reverse happened in Arizona.

The problem is, Scaty Abrams allegations in 2018 were false. Gov-elect Lake’s in 2022 were true.

Curiously, there may be evidence that Scaty actually won in 2022 because of the truly bizarre voting patterns in GA. Also because RINO Kemp is dirty and corrupt as hell, as well as massively unpopular with the base.

No court has ruled in favor of either candidate and both were never declared Governor, despite your belief the facts say otherwise.

You support Lake, you don’t support Abrams, a Democrat in Georgia believes the exact opposite.

I don’t take my marching orders or obey corrupt courts that either deny or cover up voter fraud for their Derp State political masters.

Kari Lake is still Arizona’s Governor-elect. Hobbs is utterly and completely illegitimate and criminally occupying said office based on fraudulent election returns. It matters not one whit to me if you choose to abide the fraud, but don’t expect I & others to. Same goes for the child molester illegitimately, illegally and unconstitutionally occupying the White House.

More power to you, at some point you need to actually occupy elected offices, at this point, neither Lake or Abrams are private citizens and hold no elected office.

If you want to change the system, you have to win and actually hold the office, otherwise claims otherwise are just speculation.

Given that Gov-elect Lake did win the election, she is being willfully denied the ability, along with the AG, Sec of State, and U.S. Senator, from being allowed to change the system by corrupt interests within the legal system and without.

Here’s the issue, you can’t change laws without occupying the elected office, Lake at this time doesn’t hold the office.

Legal challenges have not worked in Arizona or anywhere else for that matter, it should be obvious the courts are not going to do anything.

What is your plan to do anything but claim Lake won for changing the system, if you don’t hold the office.

That’s the problem with your contention, without holding political power and the courts not willing to do anything, what then.

I’ve offered multiple ideas about what to do.

We’re going in circles, and you’re being very disingenuous. I suppose you’re going to offer a productive solution as to what recourse is for candidates who had their offices stolen from them by illegal means. We’ve already seen three elections in a row, 2018, 2020 and 2022, where massive fraud was perpetrated. Because we know what happens next when the ballot box is ignored, along with corrupt courts ratifying illegitimate results (or refusing to address the electoral fraud, which is exactly the same - justice denied).

You have offered nothing but contending that Lake won, offering nothing but your opinion, going so far as to say, Lake accusations are true and Stacy Abram’s were false, again offering nothing to back that up. If anyone is being disingenuous it’s you for offering nothing.

In numerous FR forums on the same topic, I’ve consistently listed 4 things the Republicans can do going forward.

My ideas assume the courts will never offer any solution to the problem and you have to actually assume office to change the system.

File one lawsuit after another to clean up the voter rolls, thousands of voters are on the rolls that are either dead or have moved, it’s law in every state to do this.

Once you assume power, make Universal ID required to vote a requirement.

Vote early and bank your votes, don’t wait until election day creating a single source of failure, when voting machines don’t work.

Where legal, establish a vote harvesting system that is at least competitive to the Democrats, once you assume office, outlaw all forms of vote harvesting.

Go door to door establish a competitive vote by mail program encouraging people to vote, especially in Republican Areas.

What’s your plan other than to claim Lake won.

"You have offered nothing but contending that Lake won, offering nothing but your opinion, going so far as to say, Lake accusations are true and Stacy Abram’s were false, again offering nothing to back that up. If anyone is being disingenuous it’s you for offering nothing."

I have "offered it" because she won. You seem to continuously deny that fact, and were more bothered that Gov-elect Lake told corrupt McCain Derp State saboteurs where they could get off.

"My ideas assume the courts will never offer any solution to the problem and you have to actually assume office to change the system."

Hard to "assume" an office you won when they swear-in the loser based on an illegitimate and fraudulent outcome. Again.

"File one lawsuit after another to clean up the voter rolls, thousands of voters are on the rolls that are either dead or have moved, it’s law in every state to do this."

Good luck with that. Unless you have a hyper-Republican state that can overcome fraud, corrupt interests in the state will disregard this. Witness Wisconsin, which has more registered voters than living human beings. Fraud there based on that allowed the Demonrats to steal the Governorship there in 2018 and 2022.

"Once you assume power, make Universal ID required to vote a requirement."

And again, how do you "assume power" when aforementioned fraud denies the winner said power ?

"Vote early and bank your votes, don’t wait until election day creating a single source of failure, when voting machines don’t work."

Who's counting those votes ? What methods are being used ? Dominion ? Where's the accountability ?

"Where legal, establish a vote harvesting system that is at least competitive to the Democrats, once you assume office, outlaw all forms of vote harvesting."

Vote harvesting should be illegal. It is a method ripe for fraud. And again, we're back to how is the person supposed to assume office when they're denied it ?

"Go door to door establish a competitive vote by mail program encouraging people to vote, especially in Republican Areas."

Also a method that should be outlawed. This method has all but made the state of Oregon a thoroughgoing joke, where "mail-in ballots" have prevented a Republican from assuming the office of Governor in 41 years.

You still didn't address the point as to what recourse individuals such as Gov-elect Lake have WHEN THEIR ELECTIONS ARE STOLEN FROM THEM and COURTS IGNORING OR DENYING SAID FRAUD BECAUSE THEY THEMSELVES ARE CORRUPT. Which is the whole point.
