Kari Lake Unsurprisingly Refuses To Admit That She Lost

It’d be bad for the brand if she didn’t make a fuss. 

Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has refused to concede to her Democratic opponent Katie Hobbs in the race to become Arizona’s new governor. Instead, she’s mounting a legal challenge.

Don’t need her approval that she lost. She lost.

Well, she’s right about that part at least although I would change the emphasis and put the start further back.

1 • With any luck at all she’ll devolve like the last Japanese soldier hiding in a cave on Guam, found in the late 1960s claiming that WW2 is not over and the Empire of Japan is still intent on winning.

2 • Her concession is not really necessary, though she thinks it is. The GQP thinks of themselves as the Permission-Givers, all the while pretending they adore freedom of thought and action. (Yet it’s really for themselves and not others.)

3 • I hope somebody gives her some rotten cheese with that whine.

“I can promise you one thing,” she said in her video on Thursday. “This fight to save our republic become the Donald’s running mate has just begun.

Why should objective reality get in the way of her dreams?

You may have put your finger on it. Somebody pointed out how few (almost none) GOP losers were pulling a Trump and shouting “Stop the Steal,” and figured it’s because Trump owns that. It’s his signature con, and he’s not gonna let a bunch of nobody losers start cutting in on it. When I saw that Lake immediately headed to Florida I thought “She’s going to make it right, that is, cut a deal, with the Donald.”

She’ll probably lose interest as soon as her Ring Light and Soft Focus® lens business gets off the ground.

Republicans have chosen ‘sore loser’ as their new icon. ‘Delusional nut job’ remains as an alternative. All the elephants have applied for sanctuary.

This was totally predictable and no one cares, with the exception of a fraction of her supporters.

“I’m going to win the election, and I will accept that result,”

“And if I lose, I won’t.” - the other side of that coin.

In other words: “Heads I win, tails you lose.”

Yawn. Old news. Last season’s fashion. No interest. Sad.

Yep, a genteel custom, not required by law. Gentility is anathema to the GOP.
