Sarah Sanders announces bid for Arkansas governor

Sarah Sanders, President Donald Trump's former press secretary, announced Monday that she is running for governor of Arkansas.

"With the radical left now in charge of Washington, your governor is your last line of defense. In fact, your governor must be on the front line," Sanders said in a nearly eight-minute video posted on Twitter. "So today, I announce my candidacy for governor of Arkansas."

Sanders had been seen as a likely candidate ever since she left the White House in the summer of 2019. The daughter of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee will likely face a primary challenge -- multiple top Republicans in the state have already announced a bid -- but she is widely seen as an early favorite for the position. A source familiar told CNN of Sanders' plan to run for office on Sunday.
Asa Hutchinson, the current governor of Arkansas, is term limited.

The governor's mansion is expected to stay in Republican control. While the state has elected Democrats in recent history -- from former governor and President Bill Clinton to former Sen. Mark Pryor more recently -- Arkansas has politically veered right over the last decade. The state backed Trump with more than 62% of the vote in November.

I hope she gets her ass handed to her, but Arkansas probably won’t think her lies are disqualifying.

[Harker]

1. Anyone that votes for her deserves her.

I pity the others.

[NurseJackie]

7. Oh goody! I get to use these gifs again!

Smokey eyes... Wonky eye.


She likes to flounder around just for the halibut!

[Harker]

11. Yech.

I guess being really good at ignoring questions and lying (I almost said, "with a straight face&quot for Donnie Two-Peaches puts her in the lead for the job.

Sad.

[George II]

15. Beautiful (oops, I take that back) - GREAT! This one too:

[NurseJackie]

19. Wow! That's... something!

[padah513]

40. Really? SMH

[TheCowsCameHome]

36. lol. "What're you lookin' at, tough guy?"

[NCjack]

38. That's the one I call "slapped with a skillet for complaining about

the cornbread -- by Mama."

[machoneman]

2. You have to to be kidding! Oh my, the fat lady has sung. I smell heavy schadenfreude warming up!

Weird she'd even try w/o first gaining a much lower political office, one she's yet to win and then manage. This is a major train wreck of a campaign a'coming. Ha, pass that popcorn!

[PatSeg]

22. I know

She's not a terribly appealing candidate to begin with. She has a serious personality deficiency and is a truly awful public speaker. You'd think she'd test the waters with a lower office first.

[TexasBushwhacker]

45. I would think there would be a decent primary challenger or two

Seriously, how does being a gaslighting press secretary qualify one to run a state? Why does doesn't she run for Congress?

[PatSeg]

46. She has no appealing qualities whatsoever

I couldn't stand her father, but at least he had a personality and even knew how to smile. What does she have to sell to voters? She actually looks mean most of the time.

[marble falls]

3. Unfortunately for her, those who are drawn by her lies are also driven by misogyny.

[IronLionZion]

20. There are several backwards red states with conservative women governors

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_governors_in_the_United_States

[Politicub]

21. I read "lies" as eyes, as in "those who are drawn [in by her eyes] are also

driven by misogyny,” and wondered how bad eye makeup could be misogynistic; bad eye makeup can afflict men or women alike.

Forgive me... It’s early.

[atreides1]

4. She'll be governor in name only

No one here believes that her father won't be the real power behind the "throne", right???

[NoMoreRepugs]

5. A more or less perfect RePutinican candidate. Never accomplished

anything, other than a Doctorate in Spreading Bullshit.

[MrModerate]

6. I don't believe Arkansans deserve this. What did they ever do to us? n/t

[rpannier]

9. They elected her father as Governor

[rpannier]

8. I suppose the state could do worse

She has other family members

[Bucky]

28. Ah yes, the dog hanger

David. He's got a few issues up in his attic

[58Sunliner]

29. OMG, the picture.

[Bucky]

30. Not one of your more flattering mug shots

But to be fair, he looks better that that dog he tortured to death.

[Aviation Pro]

10. Be careful with what you eat on the campaign trail, Hock-a-loogie

You never know what special ingredients are in that corn dog.

[Lonestarblue]

12. A PAC should do an ad with a big red lie button.

Show some of her biggest lies as press secretary with the big red button going off after each one. Does Arkansas want a known liar as governor? Someone who’ll tell you the next pandemic is a hoax? Or tell you that a tax cut will help you when it won’t?

[Bucky]

32. I think it depends on the lies she tells...

I think we've reached peak hoax hollaring. If she hasn't got the Red Hats in her corner yet (she's suspiciously chummy with those Deep State libtards at Fox News) she won't win them over before the nomination.

As long as she sticks to the tried and true lies about Democrats all being socialistcommienazis who want to tax your children into failing (whisper: desegregated) schools and steal their guns, she'll be a-okay.

[twodogsbarking]

13. The radical left is a myth

not unlike Sarah's abilities.

[George II]

14. Someone should remind her if she's elected she'll be sitting in Bill Clinton's chair!

[William Seger]

16. Is Aidy Bryant still on SNL?

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

17. A very serious consequence of the Orange Presidency is

the number of incredibly stupid, incompetent, and dishonest Republicans getting elected to various higher offices.

[Ford_Prefect]

18. What can we say except that Demagoguery sells in MAGAland.

I would like to think that Twitter has gotten the message about her kind of propaganda spew but events will probably prove that to be unwarranted.

[JohnnyRingo]

23. ...with a declaration of war against "the enemy"

and he is us. She knows people in Alabama will eat that up.

Typical republican red meat. They'll never change.

[Bucky]

33. Arkansas

But for a non-southerner, an understandable mistake.

I imagine I couldn't pick out Vermont from New Hampshire in a police line up.

[SoFlaBro]

24. Buffalo Sarah can fuck right off sideways and break the tip off with her fuck ass shit.

n/t

[xxqqqzme]

25. Couldn't find a job, huh?

Unemployment ran out?

Hey, I'll run for governor

[Marthe48]

26. Oh goodie, a horse's ass for the media to elevate

Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.

[Bucky]

27. The DNC should attack her for all her lies... so that the GOP will nominate her

She's inept enough that everything she, a prominent Republican with a national profile, will be a constant voice for keeping Republicans saying stupid things in the news. That's how you let them trash their own brand. That's how you get control of the swing states.

[SansACause]

31. Wait...is this true?

n/m

[Thekaspervote]

34. People of AK I hope you like being lied too..that's what you're getting

[LudwigPastorius]

35. Oooh...I've got her campaign slogan!

"Vote for Sarah Sanders: She's got her eye on raising Arkansas's Quality of Life ranking from 45th to 44th!"

[mahina]

37. Sarah Slanders

That is all

[Kid Berwyn]

41. Kim Il Jung's goomah?

“Take one for the team.”

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/sep/01/donald-trump-sarah-sanders-take-one-for-the-team-kim-jong-un-wink-book

[twodogsbarking]

42. Campaign slogan ready ....

Vote for me or I'll rip your head off and spit down your neck.

I'm Sarah Huckabee Sanders and I endorse this message.

[badboy67]

43. Do you hear the banjoes playing, in Arkansas?

[gopiscrap]

44. ask her about Maurice Clemons
