Kari Lake and her supporters are trying to blame her loss on Election Day voting issues in Maricopa County.

So let’s talk about all the counties other than Maricopa where Kari Lake did worse than Donald Trump did in 2020. And Donald Trump LOST Arizona in 2020.
Kari Lake underperformed Trump in the following Arizona Counties not named Maricopa (which is 59.7% of Arizona’s Voting Age Population)

Cochise County (1.9% of VAP)
Coconino County (2.2%)
Gila County (0.8%)
Graham County (0.5%)
Greenlee County (0.1%)
Mohave County (3.3%)
Kari Lake underperformed Trump in the following Arizona Counties not named Maricopa (which is 59.7% of Arizona’s Voting Age Population)

Pima County (15.1% of VAP)
Pinal County (6.5%)
Yavapai County (3.7%)
The only AZ Counties where Lake outperformed Trump 2020 (which, you, generally have to do because Trump lost in 2020) are:

Apache (1.0% of VAP)
La Paz (0.3%)
Navajo (1.6%)
Santa Cruz (0.6%)
Yuma (2.6%)
But it’s the Trump schtick, continued. Underperform. Lose. And then pretend you’re a victim. And act like a whiny something something.

I guess it’s an alternative to learning, growing and getting better. Just lie and whine until you’re old and wrinkled.
I’ve never tried the whole “it was rigged, I was robbed” thing before. Maybe I should. Here goes …

I’m black. And the reason I didn’t get drafted as an NBA Player is because of RACISM!
#Sarcasm

(Hey, the victim card works for Trump and Lake. Let’s see how far this takes me)

Just wondering.

If you had to choose between the following candidates for office:

Candidate A says they support issues important to you but they have a lot of character issues.

Candidate B is on the opposite side of your most important issues but seems like a great person.
For years, I think a lot of people have voted for Candidate A. Because we’re tribalized to the max. For a long time I would have minimally refused to vote for Candidate B.
But the last several years have made me wonder if this approach is inherently flawed.

All politics aside, can you really expect good results from bad people?

For those who still have a hard time understanding this, I even put together a chart.

#TrumpLost
#LakeLost
#GoHome
81% of the US Citizens old enough to vote in Arizona live in just 3 of its 15 counties: Maricopa, Pima and Pinal.

Joe Biden in 2020 won Maricopa and Pima. As did Katie Hobbs in 2022.
But in all three of these counties in which 4 out of every 5 adult citizens in Arizona live, Trump 2020 did worse than Trump 2016.

And then Lake 2022 did worse than Trump 2020.

And Trump 2020 lost.

I'm still blown away by the sheer stupidity of the whole Cochise County stunt.

Can somebody explain to these people that refusing to certify the election in a county which Hobbs LOST by nearly 18 points does not hurt ... Hobbs?

Maybe draw them a chart or diagram or something.
"Hey, watch me own the libs!"
Also,

Maybe these geniuses ought to check in with their own constituents.

In 2016, Trump won Cochise County by 21.55 points.

In 2020, Trump won Cochise County by 19.49 points.

In 2022, Lake won Cochise County by 17.50 points.

A lot of candidates of both parties lost close elections in the 2022 midterms. Most of them conceded the races and accepted it didn’t go their way this time. Otherwise known as adulting.
But because two candidates, the drama queens who ran for #AZGOV and #AZSOS, refuse to admit they lost, spurred on by the biggest drama queen who has ever lived, Donald Trump, I decided to compare a few things.
We know what it looks like when a Republican wins Arizona. Donald Trump himself narrowly won Arizona in 2016. It wasn’t pretty and was a lot closer than when Romney won the state just four years beforehand. But we can use that as a baseline. And compare it to 2020 and 2022.

A lot of things Culture Warriors tend to obsess about are neither a matter of “woke” or “non-woke.”

They’re a matter of being a decent human being versus being a racist jackass.

And a matter between behaving like you were raised by humans versus by a pack of inbred wolves.
Like I said before, for decades and decades, overt racism had been going out of style. Nobody wanted to be seen as one.

And over the last several years, what had been a sense of shame of being a racist has become a point of pride.

Some people WANT to be called racist.
And with some of these young folks who have embraced this nonsense, I think a lot of it comes from people who want to belong to something and from brats who just want to be the opposite of whatever everybody else is.
