John McCain was a titan in Arizona politics for over thirty years. He never lost an election in Arizona. You don't, in Arizona, if you are running a statewide race as a Republican, tell McCain voters to "get the hell out" of your campaign rally.
Because some of them might actually take your advice.
And now Keri Lake, who was being position as a female Ron DeSantis is fighting for her political future in a state she was expected to win handedly.
I wonder why DeSantis went to Arizona and rallied with Lake and Masters then?
To help them win. Duh.
But DeSantis can't work miracles. There's only so much he can do and after he did what he could, Lake went and stepped in it with her pointless attack on John McCain. Sure, it played well with her MAGA base but Lesson One in politics: When you're running a tight race, you need more than just your base to turn out. Try not to piss everyone else off.
Kari Lake supports Donald Trump and DeSantis knew she is a Trump candidate when he went there. Trump also backed Desantis in his first bid for Governor when no one else did at the time.
He must have known Lake was a rising star.
This thing is Arizona is just a replay of 2020. It will happen again in 2024.
And McCain will still be dead.
