The ‘basement strategy’ is working for Democrats
The hill ^ | 11/20/2022 | JOE CONCHA

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs will be the next governor of Arizona, barring a recount that says otherwise. And when the Democrat is sworn in, she’ll likely thank her handlers privately for their media strategy in getting her over the finish line after looking like the underdog going into Election Day against outspoken Republican Kari Lake.

Hobbs embraced the same strategy that served Joe Biden as a candidate and continues to serve him as president: almost entirely avoiding the media, shunning any interviewer who may ask a tough question and rejecting the opportunity to debate an opponent. Hobbs did all three, got some benign criticism for it and still won a razor-thin victory.

We are a banana republic, and we don’t have elections. We just think we do.

Who she will thank privately is the election officials who rigged the vote count. Everyone knows the fix was in and that’s why she stayed underground. Concha isn’t this naive.

Yeah more like the gutter strategy as always.

Like young people say about school “why fail if you can just cheat?”

older competitor’s version—

“If you ain’t trying to cheat a little, you ain’t likely to win much.”

Richard Petty

I think there’s that many sheeple who vote for the agenda - they’re not voting for her. They’re voting for abortion, for green energy, and open borders.

More proof that Democrats don’t vote for the person.

Democrats vote for the Democrat party.

Emotions are how democrats and women prioritize their lives. Conservatives prioritize reason and observable results.

So, debating will put dems at an automatic disadvantage. They’re far better off just to appeal to emotions through ads and positive media snippets. A rational discussion, debate or policy analysis will be beyond reach of their candidates and their voters.

We’ve been a banana republic ever since Brandon cheated his way to the Oval Office.

For Dems it’s a very good strategy.

The MSM does all your campaigning for you, painting you in glorious shades and demonizing your opponent 24/7.

While the Republicans have to get the word out. It’s not an issue for the Democrats usually (unless you are in a red state like Florida)

The ‘basement strategy’ is working for Democrats

The Democrat/RINO "basement strategy" has brilliantly worked for:

  1. U.S. "pResident" - the senile Sleepy Joe puppet Manchurian Candidate.
  2. Lerch-like, black-hoodie-wearing U.S. Senator-elect John Fetterman who's unfortunately incapable of processing human speech.
  3. Arizona Governor-elect Katie Hobbs.
  4. ... (surely many more Democrats/RINOs to come) ...

Easily stole the 2020 Election using their senile Sleepy Joe puppet Manchurian Candidate, by hiding him in his basement for his entire Presidential "campaign," allowing him to only rarely emerge from his basement to mindlessly stumble his way through his handlers' teleprompter speech in almost-empty parking lots.

Sleepy Joe's handlers: "Don't worry, Sleepy Joe, continue snoozing in your basement ... we'll take care of everything for you. Just think about it, Sleepy Joe: When we finally awaken you from your deep slumber 11 months from now, you'll be 'pResident of the United States!' How, you ask? Again, Sleepy Joe, ask us no questions (and we'll tell you no lies), just do what we tell you to do and you'll be pResident, trust us! Joe? Joe? Are you still awake? ... (z-z-z-z-z-z-z ...) ..."

Cheating is working for Dems because the RINOs were happy for Trump and all MAGA candidates to lose.

aka "The Cardboard Cutout Strategy".

They'll be able to run a Max Headroom candidate in 2024.

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs will be the next governor of Arizona, barring a recount that says otherwise.

Maybe the propagandists at the hill posing as journalists, should wait a bit before declaring Hobbs the victor.

Votes are still being counted in Arizona; Kari Lake seems to be overtaking Hobbs straight out.

Maybe Kari Lake will be the next governor of Arizona.

Unfortunately, we are seeing the intensive migration by many liberal Californians here in Arizona over the last 4 years reaching climactic political proportions. It started in 2020 with the first time Arizona had 2 Democrat senators installed in office since 1952. Now, with the recent midterms, the entire slate of top state elective executive offices from governor on down went to Democrats to join our 2 Democrat senators. Apparently, they are trying to replicate the mess here that they are fleeing from

You don't need broadcast debates in a fraudulent election.
