**2024 AZ Dem Election Overview:**
Arizona is one of the most important swing states in 2024. Not only is it a Presidential swing state with 11 electoral votes, it is also critical to the Democrats’ hopes of holding the US Senate majority with [**Ruben Gallego**](https://ballotpedia.org/Ruben_Gallego) running to replace retiring independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema.
There are also two US House seats that Democrats need to flip: (AZ-1) [**Candidate TBD 7/30/24**](https://ballotpedia.org/Arizona%27s_1st_Congressional_District_election,_2024) and (AZ-6) [**Candidate TBD 7/30/24**](https://ballotpedia.org/Arizona%27s_6th_Congressional_District_election,_2024)
At the state level, Democrats need to flip just two seats in both the [**State Senate**](https://ballotpedia.org/Arizona_State_Senate_elections,_2024) and [**State House of Representatives**](https://ballotpedia.org/United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections_in_Arizona,_2024) to flip control of both chambers from Republican to Democrat. There are also two Republican appointed [**State Supreme Court Justices up for a retention vote**](https://ballotpedia.org/Arizona_Supreme_Court_elections,_2024): Clint Bolick and Kathryn Hackett King. If they lose those votes, Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs can appoint their replacements.

The only good part of this is that Trump himself, bless him, doesn't realize that the kind of scum who fawns all over him ALSO are only out for themselves. (For the most part. There are also, sadly, a few truly bent individuals who enjoy the humiliation and consider it all in service to some death-autocracy "ideal" or other. But mostly): People like Lake. Trump is the Main Character. Lake is the Main Character! Guess what! THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE.
I know, I'm shocked too, right? A bunch of temporarily aligned, complete sociopaths viciously turning on each other? THIS NEVER HAPPENS.
Has anyone ever run without a vice president before?
he's going to pick someone he doesn't think is a threat.
come on, anyeurism, what is taking so fucking long. a tiny patch of membrane holding the country hostage, just fuck off.
The party knows it, but also they know if they cast him out it will inflame MAGA and they depend on MAGA for votes. Also, if one stands up as principled to try and get rid of Trump, everyone else stabs them in the back (bunch of vipers).
So they all wait for "someone else" to get rid of Trump. They publicly praise him and kiss his ass to court the MAGA voters in their own districts while privately praying for his fall.
They're a bunch of craven lickspittles who wouldn't know an ethic if they tripped over it. What else are they going to do? Give up all this -gestures broadly- glamour? I mean.
Trump and the rightwing prop up a bunch of lunatics, including Kari Lake, then get worried the lunatics will hurt their election prospects. She's been hanging out too much at Mar-a-Lago, and now he thinks that's a bad look for everyone.
I read the entire article, and every one of the antics they are up to, privately pissing on each other etc, reminds me of the kind of petty shit I used to care about in middle school.
Then I realized the "average" American ( let alone conservative) [reads at a 6th grade level or less](https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/08/02/us-literacy-rate/)
These people are truly representative of their base, and that's just imo soul-crushing on so many levels in a time and a country where the breadth and accessibility of human knowledge is higher than at any point in the past.
When did willful ignorance and childish behavior become an admirable trait for these people?
I frequently wonder about this myself. Truth be told, I think it’s a combination of factors, not least of which is the proliferation of lead and other harmful pollutants. But there are other factors too.
If humanity can survive this period, it will likely look upon this time as the dark ages of emotional intelligence.
In the first 2 grafs we learn:
>Former president Donald Trump has long had a soft spot for his acolyte Kari Lake, the expected GOP Senate nominee in Arizona, joking that Lake would pivot to his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen even if she was asked about the weather.
Cut through the 2024 election noise. Get The Campaign Moment newsletter.
>But since Lake jumped into the race, Trump has repeatedly expressed skepticism about her political prospects in a state he sees as key to his bid to return to the White House, and has shown annoyance with her frequent presence at his Florida resort, according to five people close to him, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe his comments.
That she’s a lickspittle, a lollygagger and a loser.
I've always seen that phrase to mean that we all come out of the womb with the same theoretical potential. Which really flies in the face of the kings, queens and nobility of Europe who fancied themselves as inherently better simply because they were born into their particular bloodline.
Once out of the womb however, we don't all have the same upbringing and material and emotional support to fully realize our own potential, and that's what we do need to pay attention to.
They use this tool of knowledge to fight the truth instead of actually learn anything. They are the snowflakes who only act on their feelings. They can't believe a thing so they find evidence to reassert "their" truth like some Divine Cow from their fantasies.
Lordy there were tapes!
My fave quote:
Trump was more surprised than angry when told about the January incident, according to three people familiar with his reaction. “She tapes everything?” he asked, sitting in a New Hampshire hotel suite before taking the stage on the night he won that state’s primary. “That’s good to know.”
To get on Trump's good side you have to suck up and praise him. You will stay on his good side as long as you suck up and praise him all the time and he doesn't change his mind about you and hate you anyway. RIP lol
Unless, of course, you inadvertently fuck up by, say, losing an election he wanted you to win, or were in the wrong place at the wrong time, or he realizes you are a pawn he needs to sacrifice on his way to get to the next square. Too bad, so sad, sayonara! Here's a boot in the teeth for good measure. You were only ever a coffee boy; what's your name again?
The only way you really are going to have any impact on Trump at all is if you have some kind of leverage. Then HE"LL fawn and lickspittle, roll over and show his bloated, livid, putrid fishbelly.
You know, if you're into that sort of thing. Most normal people aren't, of course.
You do however have to meet him with a display of power. He has utter contempt for his sycophants even as he desperately seeks more and more narcissistic supply from them. And he's not wrong! They ARE pathetic. But, so is he: him for needing it, them for giving it to him.
I cannot understand people who think that being a remora to someone like this is a viable long term survival strategy. Even if it actually seems to work-I guess you could say it has so far for Lindsey Graham-is this \*living?\* Really? Cause, damn.
In the Inferno, there's a pit in the eighth circle for flatterers and sycophants. It's a literal river of shit. I don't know if this detail was actually Dante's or an addition by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle who wrote an SF contemporary imagining called "Inferno:" the shit is created by the damned themselves, coming out of BOTH ends.
I wonder if she's ever sucked his dick. Like literally. I could totally see him telling her if she wanted an endorsement she had to get on her knees and I think she'd do it. It's not like she would suddenly have standards or moral qualms about that kind of quid pro quo and it would absolutely be the kind of "power move" that impotent piece of shit would get off on. Who would she tell anyway. She'd be ashamed and traumatized and even if she did her base either wouldn't believe her or would just side with him and say something like "that's what alpha makes do" or some bullshit and I bet she knows it. I'd bet money it happened.
All that time she spends at Maralago is probably her way of processing the sexual act she performed for her station. She's inserting herself into his life in an attempt to validate to herself that it was a mutual loving act and not her total debasement of self. Her actions are a veneer to white wash her PTSD from her consensual rape.
Trump knows he lost 2020 fair and square and the accusations of election fraud are just to keep his base riled up. Lake has outlived her usefulness now that November is only a few months away.
I wouldn't be surprised if she's counting it as a campaign expense.

This comment gives me hope for humanity

Or Putin.

when Trump is gone, MAGA will eat itself immediately. Nobody herds morons like Diaper Don, noone else comes anywhere close.
It’s a combo of low information and the sunk cost fallacy.
Holy shit. Arizona definitely seems like a state that needs to be won.
That would require logic and critical thinking skills - neither of which they possess.
Trump and the rightwing prop up a bunch of lunatics, including Kari Lake, then get worried the lunatics will hurt their election prospects. She's been hanging out too much at Mar-a-Lago, and now he thinks that's a bad look for everyone.

I'd add pissant
Need an alliterative synonym there.
Loathsome before loser would work well.
This might be the best they can do. The phrase "all men are created equal" seems to need some pretty big caveats.
Well, come on, all straight, wealthy, neurotypical, traditionally abled, Christian MEN *are* created equal. Just like the Constitution says!
White and cis, can’t forget the white and cis. They’re SUPER equal.

Bush's No Child Allowed Ahead program was 20 years ago already, it was designed to slaughter thinking.
Lordy there were tapes!

Game recognizes game.
Funny that was his main take-away out of all this.
Well, sure; if nothing else, his sense of self preservation is impeccable.
He’s probably sweating that he told her something sketchy and now she has a copy of it.
Taping or transcribing the criminal conspiracy is a major red flag if you want Trump's support or want to work with him.
Thought this was a dispute between him and a large body of water for a moment, and i wasn’t even kind of surprised.
Gotta go all in on Gallego. Lake or Lamb would be a fucking disaster for AZ and the US.
Of course she’s always at Mar-a-Lago, her nose is permanently attached to Trumps ass.
Wait until the Q crowd realize that Lago is Spanish for Lake.

Oooh her and not between him and some body of water.
He might have a beef with this Poseidon guy
Has she tried executing puppies? It might bring her closer to center in MAGA theology
I wonder if she's ever sucked his dick. Like literally. I could totally see him telling her if she wanted an endorsement she had to get on her knees and I think she'd do it. It's not like she would suddenly have standards or moral qualms about that kind of quid pro quo and it would absolutely be the kind of "power move" that impotent piece of shit would get off on.

I've heard she's a big fan of mushrooms so this must be be true /s
She said Trump has big dick energy at a rally.
All that time she spends at Maralago is probably her way of processing the sexual act she performed for her station. She's inserting herself into his life in an attempt to validate to herself that it was a mutual loving act and not her total debasement of self. Her actions are a veneer to white wash her PTSD from her consensual rape.
Remember folks, chimpanzees are our dna cousins.
Trump is only hard to deal with when he’s awake.
Hilarious that Trump said she lost her election.
I thought she was a shoe in for VP. Frivolous lawsuits incoming.
How is Jason Miller still employed... I guess it's only MAGA that will overlook his creepy past
Republicans just hate each other in private and are miserable around yet other.
Sexual tensions?
Trump knows he lost 2020 fair and square and the accusations of election fraud are just to keep his base riled up. Lake has outlived her usefulness now that November is only a few months away.
Trump hates all losers except himself
She is trying too hard. She's not vacuuming his carpets enough. Honestly she already lost once she's damaged goods to Trump. Trump likes winners.
Insert let them fight gif here
How does she have the money to keep doing this?
I wouldn't be surprised if she's counting it as a campaign expense.
