What has she ever done in an executive position to qualify her to run a state government? It’s not something one should do as a hobby

She is a uniquely useless human being, but she is running in Arkansas, where stupid is glorified and worshipped.

However, we are badly out numbered.

I wish there was a way to make our neighbors realize they are voting against their own interests. Unfortunately, they will never hear that on Faux News or Limbaugh and they never hear anything else.

As my wife often points out, no one ever moved to Arkansas to have their consciousness raised.

Running against the existing Lt. Governor who has a party machine in place and the Atty General who is another trumper - who looks better on TV.

The right-down-the-middle pols and voters that are being tarred with this gigantic brush need to raise their voices, along with those who legitimately can be termed "leftists." The only reason this ridiculous smear has legs is because the other side is so far right that it's dragged the whole spectrum in that direction.

A strong counter is needed, and it has to be used, loud and often.

The RW is controlled by their extremists--who, btw, are Nazis, Racists, RW militias, etc. who are happy to kill for their radical ideas--and even elects many of them.

The hypocrites have a hell of a nerve calling Dems radicals. And, yes, we need to call BS on it every single time and show them to be the extremists they are.

They attempted a coup, ffs! We cannot allow that to be normalized!

I'm confused, how has she "WON" anything?


Has she run for office and "won"?

Did she play the lotto and "won"?


She is still ignorant AF!
