I’m sure the halls of the Republican Party establishment were not pleased with the reports that President-elect Donald J. Trump had former Arizona journalist Kari Lake at the top of the list to be our next ambassador to Mexico. Lake is a twice-failed candidate in Arizona and burned many bridges with some key members of her party. She’s reportedly been working trying to mend the fences. Yet, that’s no longer an issue for the ambassador to Mexico job. Trump announced he’s going with Ron Johnson. No, it's not Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI).

I am pleased to nominate Ronald (Ron) Johnson to serve as the United States Ambassador to Mexico. Ron will work closely with our great Secretary of State Nominee, Marco Rubio, to promote our Nation’s security and prosperity through strong America First Foreign Policies. During my First Term, Ron served as the Ambassador to El Salvador, where he worked tirelessly with Salvadoran authorities and our team to reduce violent crime and illegal migration to the lowest levels in History.
He also served our Country for over twenty years with the Central Intelligence Agency after a distinguished career in the U.S. Army as a Green Beret. He graduated from the National Intelligence University with a Master of Strategic Intelligence.
Congratulations Ron. Together, we will put an end to migrant crime, stop the illegal flow of Fentanyl and other dangerous drugs into our Country and, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!

Kari = Perennial Runner Up Again.
A Green Beret and a spook. Look out, you cartels!
Lake is a twice-failed candidate in Arizona“
No she is a twice cheated candidate.
Kari is a fighter.
I can see why Trump might want someone with military experience to be ambassador to Mexico. Cartels among one of the reasons.
I smell the stink of Uniparty on Matt Vespa...
If true, Trump would have lost in Arizona.
Just saying.
Kari is a twice-McCained candidate.
I heard she is originally from Iowa, haven’t looked myself. There aren’t nearly as many McCain republicans in Iowa. Lake could likely win there.
It was stolen from her. Just saying.
She deserves a better spot in the Administration. She was CHEATED out of two elections in Arizona!!
“ Lake is a twice-failed candidate in Arizona“
No she is a twice cheated candidate.”
***********************************
Absolutely TRUE!
Put the CIA in charge of our Mexican border. Retarded.
I feel that Kari stood by Trump, ran as unapologetic MAGA supporter when everyone in media was calling it fascist etc and never backed of on her total support for Trump. I feel Trump ought to reward that with an offer of some position but I’m beginning to feel he won’t for some reason.
Kari can make cotton candy for the team.
Not necesarily.
You haven't heard of the phrase "too big to rig"? Lake might have won legitimately but her win wasn't too big to rig against.
Due to election corruption ahole.
Or she was a lousy candidate.
Dems won the Governor race in North Carolina, FWIW.
In purple states like AZ and NC, you have to run quality candidates even if Trump is on the ballot.
I think the President-Elect should be careful about who he throws under the bus. Ron Johnson? After 20 years in the CIA, we know why he shouldn’t be placed in this position. Tell us why you think he should, Mr. President.
Against an exceptionally weak R candidate.
