Hey Mika! Lake isn't a rising political star!

In an opening statement on Morning Joe, she uttered the phrase “Krazy Lake is a rising star rising in the GOBer Party”!

Say what? Lake is another failed conspiracy nut! Tell like it is, please!

I am surprised Mika could actually get a word in edgewise with Joe Scar yammering on as usual.

He repeats himself, interrupts, and inserts the same stories from his inconsequential congressional seat. The mornings go much smoother when he’s not there.

She may parlay that into a national RW talking head position. It is also possible as she can claim she made that race closer than Masters and the others that she deserves another chance in another election. So now, for the RW, she may have some latent star power, but it is hard to see why she would be a rising star.

Attractive, basically shallow, tv news stars in their niches who have professionally hit their glass ceilings. Believe me, if Lake had the chops to become a network correspondent, she would have been selected but she doesn’t and wasn’t . Mika was chosen as the second banana for blowhard Joe and things actually did work out for her and incidentally for him, the great Shapeshifter.

Mika could see her as a fellow traveler in this and would have a certain amount of respect no matter what her politics are. We have that in my profession, where is there are people who use PR to become lecturers in a wide-ranging series of topics but in fact they were just barely adequate dentists and have managed to parlay their doctoral degree and some expertise into lots and lots of money. When we go see these people we do have arespect for their successes as well as their ability to perpetrate the big con. Whenever I am taking care of some difficult case or difficult patient, I think to myself that I could be out lecturing or series of topics, well paid by some dental company to do so and wouldn’t have to put up with this shit for which I am now too old.

If they completely go away it will be more difficult to have a reckoning with this insanity. Memory of the voting public is very short. Every day January 6, 2020 is not prosecuted is another day the public forgets. Fascism and authoritarians depends on short memories and denial.

18. Kari Lake is indeed a rising "star" in the GOP

She's not a rising star in general, but for the crazy GOP she is. She won over 49% of the vote and tapped into the GOP anger, resentment, fear, and crazy. She's very similar to Desantis who is also a rising star in the GOP.

The modern GOP is not rational and will follow all of their crazies to destruction. They will double down on the hate. Kari is, sadly, a very articulate messenger for this message of hate. She won't go away and her microphone will just get louder. Mika isn't wrong on this one I'm afraid.

I would not be surprised to see her join trump as his VP of choice. The base fixates on personalities and nothing else. They love her, and most likely believe she really won the election in AZ.

"Plop, plop. Fizz, fizz. Oh, what a relief it is!" Good job Hobbs.
Actually I believe Lake is more of a black hole. Star is way to nice.
Is Katie Hobbs brother a cartoon tiger?
