Longtime Kari Lake critic in Arizona Laurie Roberts wrote a scathing article calling for Donald Trump to make Kari Lake his running mate. And Lake actually endorses what Roberts wrote, saying last year that she herself was basically "Donald Trump in a dress."

There have been recent reports that Trump has begun to sour on Lake though, presumably fearing that she'd upstage him with the batshit craziness that comes out of her mouth too.

The entire column is worth giving a read. Here's a snippet below.

… Please, sir. I think I speak for a good portion of the great state of Arizona when I beg of you:

Don’t write her off.

Here in Arizona, we know that Kari Lake would be the ideal running mate for you.

If her credentials — two decades of reading the news and one failed campaign for governor — aren’t enough to qualify her for the second highest office in the land, consider the many ways in which she checks all of your vice presidential boxes:

Embrace conspiracy theories about 2020 election fraud? ✔
Embrace conspiracy theories about 2022 election fraud? ✔
Attack John McCain? Anthony Fauci? Doug Ducey? The FBI? ✔
Rant about the media and a stolen election and a border “invasion” and a stolen election and Bud Light and a stolen election and the “uniparty” and did I mention a stolen election? ✔

Lake is basically you, sir, in high heels — a perpetually polished, camera-ready rage machine who is phenomenally popular with red-capped people who sport Let’s Go Brandon T-shirts.

Who better to represent you?
