If you want to see more proof of just how fucked up the republicans are, read on.

Kari Lake is running for Senate in 2024, filing paperwork on Tuesday to enter the already fiery competition for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's (I-AZ) seat.

The paperwork came the same day Lake met with Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) at the National Republican Senatorial Committee in Washington, D.C., a source familiar told the Washington Examiner.


Quote
On Monday, Daines appeared to give Lake advice about entering the Senate race.

Voters "do not want to hear about grievances from the past," Daines said in a CNN interview. "They want to hear about what you're going to do for the future. And if our candidates stay on that message of looking down the highway versus the rearview mirror, I think they'll be a lot more successful, particularly in their appeal to independent voters, which usually decide elections."

Lake's hard-line conservative views have caused establishment Arizona Republicans to fear a repeat of 2022, where several hard-line Republicans beat centrist GOP candidates in the primaries but lost to Democrats in the general election. Several of those who lost their elections push claims of voter fraud, similar to Trump's reaction when he lost the 2020 election.

Is Daines inaccurate?  Living in the past, even the recent past, is not forward looking leadership.  Republicans have to lead, not publicly lick past wounds.

That’s important advice for a woman who is a politics chameleon, don’t you think? 

She was a Republican before 2006.

She was an Independent from 2006-2008. 

She was a DEMOCRAT from 2008-2012 and supported John Kerry in 2004 (while she was allegedly a Republican) and Obama in 2008.

But she’s all-in on Trump - for now, while it serves her purposes I guess.  Sounds like a rock-solid conservative to me.

  Establishment republicans want the talk of the 2020 (and 2022) steal to cease.  Why?   They were a part of it, and they are scared to death of being revealed.

  Honestly, Kari Lake doesn't have a chance.  The Turtle will fund to keep her out, and the rest of the establishment republicans will work against her.   Can't dare let these outsiders in the club, doncha know.

If I could go back in time I probably would have been a Democrat too in some of those years. But then I’ve never claimed to be a conservative either, even though I vote Republican most of the time.

About licking past wounds. So they hack at you with an ax and you’re supposed to not complain or lick the wound or do something to take the damn ax away from them.  They’re just going to hit you with it again.  They’re trying to chop all your limbs off.  You’re supposed to act like it never happened and won’t happen again.

It needs to be brought up regularly. But I will say it doesn’t need to be the constant focus of speeches. The Economy Stupid is what should be front and center if you want to get the voters who actually put gas in their own cars and go to the grocery store themselves instead of having their chauffeurs and servants do it.
