Not a fan of Kari Lake. She stupidly drove people away by her comment telling people who supported McCain in the past to get out of a rally she was holding.
This “addition by subtraction” political strategy is, well, interesting.
She didn't say, "in the past". You just added that.
I like her - your mileage may vary.
I like that she is one of the few Trump allies who knows what it’s like to have an election stolen - we need people that won’t back away from that important issue. When a Trump ally will talk about “election integrity” but won’t come right out and say the words “stolen election”, I get suspicious that they won’t have his back when the chips are down. I don’t worry about Kari Lake on that score.
I like that she’s got a media background. She can run circles around her fellow alumnae in a press conference or in a debate. She has a VERY sharp wit - she’s like Trump in that way - ever misses an opportunity to score a zinger.
Also, she’s MAGA all the way.
But even if she’s not your VP pick, don’t be too quick to dismiss her - (let’s not be guilty of the “addition by subtraction” strategy, as you said). She’s a loyal and articulate friend of Trump and MAGA, and we can use all the friends we can get.
