'When she is already governor and senator?' Kari Lake mocked over possible ambassador role

Failed ultra-MAGA GOP nominee for Arizona governor and U.S. Senator, Kari Lake, is being mocked after a report detailed that she has emerged as a "leading contender" to be President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Mexico.

Semafor published the "scoop" late Monday afternoon, noting also that "Lake has echoed Trump in backing strict limits on immigration. On the campaign trail, Lake described the influx of migrants entering the US as an 'invasion.'”

"She campaigned on finishing the wall at the US southern border, increasing the number of judges who hear asylum claims, stepping up quick deportations of undocumented immigrants who cross outside official ports of entry and building additional border detention facilities," Semafor reports.

Notably, like Trump, she refused to concede her election loss in the 2022 race for Arizona governor.

Mexico is a critical trading partner and the health of the U.S. economy hinges in part on America's relationship with our neighbor to the south.

Elected office should be subjected to a vigorous psych evaluation before being allowed on any ballot.

Think. Again.

But I think that after the psych evaluation (which must be taken and made public or don't run), they should be allowed to run and let the voters decide if they want a diagnosed lunatic or psychopath/sociopath in office.

That would at least stop the B.S. from the right that their candidates are sane when they're obviously not, and it might help to curb the media's sanewashing of candidates also.

How ironic if she were to travel to Mexico, only to be ... deported.
