Lake is just disgusting. What an awful interior life she must have.

I prophesy that Loon Lake will never hold any elected office, even if she was on TV once upon a time.

I wonder though - TeeVee often trumps experience, as we saw with, well, Trump.

Of course Gallego is the better choice, but as we've seen too much recently, that means little,

Yep. Being batsh¡t crazy is no bar to high office now. Quite the contrary.

Across the Republican firmament, are these people callously playing at the only thing they think will sell, or are they legitimately mentally ill? I know a number of them must be the former, but this woman sounds - and behaves - like she needs supervision, not a campaign manager.

they just keep on getting worse and worse in their headlong race to the bottom. Don't be surprised if one day the Party of Treason fields an actual, literal screeching, feces-flinging ape in a MAGA hat. Probably for Senator, could be any state that once tried (and failed, miserably) to secede. With the full backing of TFG, the whole Murdoch evil empire, Noosemax and Onan the barbarian.

I just don't understand why Lake is campaigning at all. She will recognize one electoral outcome only, so why not just declare victory now?

Given that the one thing that unites the denizens of the Terrible Sand Kingdom of Arizonastan is that we ALL hate Curtsey Sinema's guts with the heat of 10,000 "Yuma in summertime suns", it really is going to pretty much be a Reuben Gallego v Krazy Lake contest.

“…Just come back from first class to coach and we can chat.” - Well played, Congressman Gallego!

Here's a horrifying thought: Ms. Lake, MTG and Lauren Boebert are all within plausibility as Drumpf's new running mate.

A) Sinemanchin would not fly with the plebes on commercial airlines, so that's a non-starter and B) Fuck Qari Lake all the way to hell. I live in Gallego's district in one of the more sane parts of a very politically fucked up state and we will do everything in our power to ensure Lake doesn't get anywhere closer than the AZ Supreme Court to the Senate. (Also, we have the most beautiful sunsets in the country here, so fuck Qari Lake all the way to hell.)

Hope I didn't break any rules there Your Esteemed Editrix!

Well, that and to show off her expensive outfits and hair styles, and her deep contempt for what were once the norms of civilized behavior.

I am sure you all will forgive my utter astonishment that a PAB taint sniffer is an unhinged, lying degenerate.

Let's lock Vivek and Kari in a room together and force them to debate. I expect one of them at some point will forget to breathe.

She's not stupid. Viveswamahami wouldn't stand a chance. They'd both make money off of it though in our delightfully free-market political system. There are no rules! Unless you're one of their would-be constituents.

You realize this now obligates the rest of us to re-read all of his columns so that we can select our favorites, right?

There is no debating these cult creeps. They're just going to shout over you and disrupt any attempts to speak. Yeah, Gallego should get out his message without that kind of side show distraction. That goes for all political contests these days. You can't "exchange ideas" with the crazies.

However there is value in being seen as the adult in the room. Not during a “debate” with one of them for Dawg’s sake; no actual human deserves that! But when confronted, the bigger person wins. Her cultists (subset of Assmouth cultists) will vote for her no matter what. The only demographic worth pursuing is all the rest of us.
