1. Manifest incompetence seems to be a requirement in the GOP

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

[lastlib]

18. Followed by cosmic stupidity and ignorance.

What hobby? Destroying government and sowing chaos is republikan life work.

[Zorro]

25. I'd call it malevolent incompetence

Republicans are unfit to govern.

[Polly Hennessey]

2. The Huckabee family needs one member

to be in government. It is how they make a living. They grift off the public trough.

[ooky]

6. One of two revenue streams actually. Papa Huckabee also leverages God for a

considerable amount of coin from the pockets of his white evangelicals.

10. +2

[AZ8theist]

17. You mean "rubes"...

[KPN]

9. +1

4. It's Arkansas. She has to be a heavy favorite.

[LiberalArkie]

15. They will probably be funneling money through the Bank OZK to Trumps

groups.

[33taw]

5. Not many folks in Arkansas look past RW media.

[Oscarthegreat]

7. It's Arkansas

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

[rickyhall]

21. Take it easy, Oscar, still a lot of us are Blue Arkies.

I've never voted Repug & I'm not alone. We had a Dem Governor before the Tea Bagger Take Over of 2010.

[TomSlick]

34. Thanks Ricky.

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.

[LastDemocratInSC]

22. ... and encouraged and rewarded.

[flying_wahini]

8. Brace yourself, she will win.

Lots of dumb Republicans in Ark. and she doesn’t care if she tells the truth.

Hope we run someone decent against her.

[BainsBane]

11. You're probably right

[LiberalArkie]

16. I sill want to know who controls the tabulators for the voting system.

[Irish_Dem]

12. If they elect an incompetent liar during a pandemic, they have a death wish.

The people of Arkansas should get their affairs in order.

[barbtries]

13. consider the source.

anything she does will be riddled with lies.

[TNNurse]

14. Someone with all that live TV experience

had to do this recorded with edits???? Pitiful.

[dchill]

19. "As governor, I will lie my ass off, and I know you'll believe it!"

[uponit7771]

20. lol, yep and they'll eat every second of it up !!

[Lithos]

23. She has some serious competition in the brain death category there

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.

[Mr.Bill]

24. Stacey Abrams needs to announce she is

looking for office space in Arkansas.

[SunSeeker]

26. K & R & Retweeted!

[onetexan]

27. She won my ass. She enabled a fascist idiot & a culture of lies & bullying

The woman is revolting.

[BobTheSubgenius]

28. A phrase I seem to hear about daily that's like nails on a chalkboard is "radical left."

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.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

32. + about a million.

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!

[MagickMuffin]

29. "I took on the media, the radical left and their 'cancel culture,' and I won." WHAT DID SHE WIN?

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!

[RANDYWILDMAN]

30. Sarah is a dark and narrow person and that is generous

She is so entitled, it disgusting.

My heart goes out to the people of Arkansas, she seems destined to do some damage there.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

31. She took on the chance to willingly lie repeatedly to try

keep the truth about the CrookedTrumpAdmin from the public.

Whoop-de-fcking-do. Does not qualify her for a governorship.

[mahina]

33. Sarah Slanders

Because Sarah Lies just doesn’t really flow.
