Sarah Huckabee Sanders Announces Bid For Arkansas Governor

Naw, I think she’s serious about this. But she’s got even less charisma than Daddy, so she thinks the name will sell. Which it might. I think the next 6 months or so with more and more dreck coming out about BLOTUS, his Evil Spawn, we’ll see how much will stick to those who were his faithful handmaidens and pool boys.

Of course, she was smart enough to get out early, so she built herself a trapdoor out – “I saw how bad it was getting and I had to leave…” :smirk:

If ever we had a model to build from, there it is.

Well, in politics, name recognition is everything. The “Huckabee” name, which I’m sure she’ll begin to emphasize again, is well known in Arkansas. Also, Sarah H’s time serving Trump will be a double plus. And she can lie at a pathological level, and Republican voters love this.

Shoo in.

But she can sling mud and hog-tie an enemy like the best of 'em, which is all you need to be a Repub these days.

I hope the first words out of her mouth will NOT be “I will NEVER lie” .

Eh. At least we’d know where she is. You don’t want her at large. You could walk around a corner and see her getting tossed out of a restaurant literally ANYWHERE.

It’s bad enough we don’t have a tracker on Roger Stone.

" The former Trump official railed against “socialism” and painted herself as a victim of “the far left and their allies at CNN and the New York Times.” "

Sarah, you left out the Red Hen crew !

“at the table” with the former president." Indeed.

Arkansas deserves the Unibrow of Truthiness as their governor. They also deserve Nickelback and chlamydia.

Stupid, provincial and no-account people believe whatever they’re told. Being devoted followers is how they compensate for being useless pieces of shit lacking any self-esteem or merit.

Plus, being governor is a hard job. Any indication that she really wants to do it? I think she mirrors her former boss. She want the title without any of the responsibilities.

Wonder if she’ll continue her nasty and insulting demeanor. She’s just an awful human being.

I’m sure she will. It’s a smart move - G.O.P. voters love that.

I will be eating popcorn and Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey as Governor Laserscowl blames devastating COVID infection and death rates, a shitty state economy, and every other problem she and her Arkansas GOP White Walkers do not know how to solve on the nearly non-existent Arkansas Democrat Party and SOCIALISM!!!

The difference, I suspect, is that GA demographics are shifting, as young, talented people flock to places like Atlanta, fleeing the backward redness of AL and SC. But I don’t think anyone’s moving to Little Rock to get away from the awfulness of MS, LA, or OK.

People are starstruck about “the Abrams model”, without looking underneath the hood about what was/is actually happening in GA.

First off, lets talk about demographics. The state of Georgia has actually lost millions of people in the past 10 years, but the Atlanta metro area has grown by leaps and bounds. That alone is an extremely powerful dynamic for Democrats that cannot be overstated.

Secondly, besides Georgia trending blue, similarly to AZ, over the past several cycles, it really hasn’t been all that long since Dems had a lock on the state. About 20 years, which sounds long, but Dems had a lock on it for close to 100 before that. So its not a dramatic ideological shift for middle of the road voters.

Thirdly, when you compare GA to states like AR, well…Dems DO get elected in Georgia, before 2020. They don’t anymore in AR. As I just posted, AR has a super majority in both houses of their state legislature, a complete republican representation to the Senate and the House of Reps, and every statewide officer is a republican.

Lastly, and this circles back to the first point, AR doesn’t have an “Atlanta”. And by that I mean a large, heavily Democratic population center to counter rest of the more rural and smaller city republican areas. Little Rock just isn’t that big.

Now, even with all these underlying trends, Abrams still lost in 2018, despite it being wave year, even in Georgia. So she set out to change the elecorate by focusing on registering Democratic leaning demographics: POC, young people, etc. And the result was we narrowly won 2 Senate seats.

So, don’t get me wrong, I think Abrams is an amazing woman and political talent. I’ve thought that for years. And I recognize her work over the past 2 years. But merely registering voters isn’t going to magically flip every deep red state. There are a lot of factors that were required to be in play, that were out of her control. And most of those factors don’t exist in Arkansas.

She will be entering a primary with some well funded heavyweights.

Griffin and Rutledge have combined raised more than $2.8m in a race which could get even more crowded. Republican state senator Jim Hendren, a nephew of Hutchinson, is considering a run.

But I wish her luck because I think a Democrat would have the best chance against Smokey Eye.

She’s got a tough act to follow after Daddy let Wayne Dumond out of jail so he could kill and rape again.

Oh that didn’t stop Daddy from letting Maurice Clemmons out of jail so he could kill four cops.

Expect Smoky Eyes to pull the same shtick…
