Explain why they would do this. It looks like she'll lose handily to Gallego right now, so what's the point of buying her out? Is there another AZ Republican they want to replace her with?
Your party pre selects its candidates. We don’t want to hear about corruption from Democrats, work on cleaning up your own house, it’s filthyExplain why they would do this.

PS - Your party is corrupt as fvck
What the heck did I just listen to lmfao. Only in the Trump world of politics would such a recording exist and then become public. This reeks of Lake trying to bolster her candidacy through making herself a hero. Look, I have zero doubt this stuff goes on in our political system. The content of the recording doesn’t surprise me at all. But you’ve got to admit, this is very convenient.
I agree. This is all a publicity stunt. Arizona is the batshittiest state in the union.What the heck did I just listen to lmfao.

Seems pretty obvious. Let me ask you this- If this were a recording of a Dem, currently running for office, adamantly turning down a bribe to stay out of the race and then it was leaked to the public, what would your gut tell you?What is convenient about it?
Dewit most likely had no clue. Which guarantees Lake has screwed herself by releasing the audio. At this point, if you’re a Lake staffer or any potential ally for that matter, how can you trust her? If you push back against her agenda or offer advice she doesn’t like, potentially she’ll release a recording “exposing” you. This was a short-sighted move to earn herself brownie points in her upcoming election. Long-term she’s most likely shot herself in the foot.If it’s staged, why would Dewit do that to himself? His political career is over and he possibly put himself in legal jeopardy. Doesn't seem to make much sense to me, but I will keep an open mind until further information comes out.
I won't pretend to try and get in their heads. It's just the circumstances and the context. Nothing about this feels legitimate to me, and I have a world class bullshit detector. I called early bullshit on the kid in the homemade balloon out in Colorado back in 09, and on the dumbass in Colleton Co. who claimed a snake jumped in his canoe a few years ago. I don't fvck around, and this feels like a stunt to me on somebody's part.Stunt in what regards? You think it was a staged production by Lake and Dewit together?

If it is legit, this is one of the worst examples of corruption I've ever heard of. Just blatant criminality so extreme that it seems fishy as hell, wouldn't you agree? Who the hell would make that kind of offer without taking every precaution to ensure it wouldn't be taped? Because if he didn't, that is one dumbass politician.Ok, but if it IS legit, you would agree that its super fvcked up the deep state is trying to buy off candidates?
@Budgripe86 What do you mean by "He didn't know"? He didn't know that he was bribing her?
Okay, I don't accept the premise of a deep state like you do, so I'm not agreeing with that. But yes, if it's real, a political party trying to bribe one of its candidates to drop out is wrong, but it's a tale as old as time.Ok, but if it IS legit, you would agree that its super fvcked up the deep state is trying to buy off candidates?

Maybe I’m confused on what the deep state is. These kind of political shenanigans have been going on forever. Seems the deep state has been present since our nations founding.deep state is trying to buy off candidates?
You call them political shenanigans, we call them the Deep State. We want that shit cut out and thats exactly what we mean when we say Drain The Swamp.Maybe I’m confused on what the deep state is.

“He didn’t know” that he was being recorded is what I meant there. Either this was planned with his knowing and he “fell on the sword” for the sake of her campaign— which is unfathomable or he didn’t know he was being recorded.
Or if you really wanna get conspiratorial-
There was no bribe for Lake to back out. Dewit was offered a good job and pay day to commit career suicide in order to put out a giant hoax to influence an election for Lake.. 😂
LMAO.If its staged, why would Dewit do that to himself? His political career is over and he possibly put himself in legal jeopardy. Doesn't seem to make much sense to me, but I will keep an open mind until further information comes out.
That makes it much more likely that it's a political stunt imo. If this was about the right thing or draining the swamp, they would have made this recording public in March.Additional information to consider:
Kari Lake made the claim, which is documented, at the time the conversation occurred on March 4th. The recording has just been released.

This is political gamesmanship.
I'll bet this backfires on her too...spectacularly.
Occam's Razor. The party didn’t want her to run because MAGA candidates were/are less electable in a purple state due to the stain of Trump, therefore he wanted to incentivize her to drop out in favor of a more electable candidate. I don’t think this has anything to do with deep state or conspiracies or anything else.
Agreed. I’d love for someone to investigate this and find out who was behind the offer. But I’d be willing to bet that it won’t happen. Because the maga politicians don’t really care, it’s just the latest iteration of the rallying cry to work up the mob.lol “we the people” will always make me laugh.
It’s probably some big money donor who wants her out so someone more electable can run, but sure blame it on the FBI/CIA/DOD/whatever
As if the MAGA politicians are the one who controls whether it is investigated or not? Doesn't make much sense.Agreed. I’d love for someone to investigate this and find out who was behind the offer.

Another option: Lake is a shit candidate that brings nothing to the table and can’t win. Trump likes her and so Dewit throws her a bone and offers her money to not run. She fvcks herself by recording said conversation.You call them political shenanigans, we call them the Deep State. We want that shit cut out and thats exactly what we mean when we say Drain The Swamp.
I don't think political suicide by Dewit is a likely explanation. If you want to commit political suicide you would do it in a public arena, not via a surreptitious recording. There would just be much more effective ways. So I'm crossing that off the list.
So either
1) Dewit and Lake staged this together
2) Lake somehow setup Dewit and we only got a portion of the details
3) It's real.

They have someone better in mind who could winYeah, the probability of that is non zero, but super small. That is not on my list of acceptable explanations.
If she is such a shit candidate, why were they trying to pay her off? She would just lose naturally.
