Now We KNOW Why Katie Hobbs Won't Debate Kari Lake
She's just a politician.
Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has built a reputation for being very direct when answering questions. It doesn't matter if it's a supporter she meets on the campaign trail or a Democrat-friendly corporate journalist. They ask. She answers. She doesn't mince words and she doesn't deflect.
Her opponent, Democrat Katie Hobbs, is the diametric opposite. If she were asked what color the sky is she'd answer it something like this: "Look, weather patterns and climate change have an impact on what appears in the sky at any given moment. Arizonans shouldn't be forced to pick a color based on something arbitrary like what they see with their own eyes."
In case you think that's hyperbole, listen to her "answers" to very fair questions posed by CNN's Dana Bash:
As Sundance over at The Conservative Treehouse noted, the interview was so bad CNN didn't even publish a replay:
After CNN’s Dana Bash failed in her effort to make Arizona Republican Candidate Kari Lake look bad in an interview, Lake’s opponent Katie Hobbs came on the broadcast. The difference between professional Kari Lake and the up-talking nonsense of Katie Hobbs is stark.
This is the first time I have watched Ms. Hobbs during a broadcast election interview, and it does not come as a surprise to see CNN not upload the outcome onto their YouTube channel for additional attention and replay. Hobbs is a complete ideological idiot, and I don’t say that lightly. How this woman is even being considered to become a governor is beyond my comprehension.
The fact that Katie Hobbs refuses to debate is costing her votes. Many Democrats question the strategy, as Bash pointed out. But based on this interview alone, it's understandable that she'd rather keep Arizonans in the dark rather than confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is incapable of winning such a debate regardless of the format. If she can't even answer direct questions by Dana Bash, how could she hold her own on a stage opposite Lake? The answer is obvious. She couldn't.
Joe Biden hid in the basement through much of his 2020 campaign, but EVEN HE was able to manage a debate. Hobbs can't even do that.
I watched Katie Hobbs do that interview and was stunned how stupid she sounded, where if you listen to Kari Lake she sounds intelligent and does tell it like it is. The difference between the two is stark, so stark in fact, I don't see any way that Katie Hobbs will even come close to Kari Lake in the election.
Most people know their limitations but there are a few who lie and bull shit their way through life, so we end up with politicians running our governments who have no business either in temperament or intellectual capacity being in those positions, and Hobbs has neither capability !!!
She has domonion machines on her side, no need to debate.
