Former Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is set to become the next governor of Arkansas after winning her election this week, even though her only credentials for the job are that her dad once held that position. She is woefully under-skilled for the position, but that didn't matter to voters in the state. She will now be in a position to rise through the ranks of the Republican Party, which could lead to something even scarier, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Well, one of the more disappointing things that happened this week, disappointing, but 100% predictable, was that Sarah Huckabee Sanders was elected to be the next governor of the state of Arkansas, the first woman to ever hold that position. So I guess that's progress for the state of Arkansas with their 47th governor. But Sarah Huckabee Sanders is now a person that we are once again going to have to talk about after not mentioning her name for a couple years, which by the way, was awesome. But she's back and worse than ever because Sarah Huckabee Sanders has never in her life held an elected position. The only qualification that she has for serving as Arkansas's governor is that when she was young, her dad had the job. That's it. That is the extent of her experience in Arkansas state politics. She also, as we all know, served as one of Donald Trump's many, many, many, uh, communications directors. She was the, uh, person up there on the podium making an of herself, insulting reporters, getting in fights with 'em on the air, lying to their faces. I guess that's a qualification, but she knows nothing of policy. She doesn't know how to run a state. She doesn't know how to organize an entire state government, but hey, didn't matter to the voters of Arkansas. Right? We love seeing her up on that podium with Trump. So we're gonna put her in our office, right? Yeah. That's gonna work out super well for you, especially considering the, uh, the facts that Arkansas is one of the lowest in the country in, uh, test scores for school children. You have one of the highest prison populations. Uh, you have one of the highest crime rates in the country too. I know crime was a big deal for Republican voters, right? But you've been under solid Republican rule for a couple decades. Crime is through the roof in your state and you're like, Ah, let's just double down with more Republicans. Oh, our children aren't learning anything. They're falling behind almost every other state in the country. Ah, let's stick with Republicans and not just stick with Republicans. Stick with a Republican that doesn't even know what to do. Like she's just gonna be pretending she's gonna be making it up as she goes, kinda like Donald Trump did when she worked for him, and that didn't work well for America at all. By every possible measure, Every single aspect of Donald Trump's presidency was a complete and total failure, and I have no reason to believe that things are gonna be any different for the state of Arkansas putting their own version of Donald Trump in the lead. Now, here's where things get even worse, if you can imagine it, because she won, and Donald Trump endorsed her over a year ago, by the way, for this position. But because she has now won, she is now a governor, which is a big Deal, she is now already considered to be somebody that Donald Trump could possibly make his running mate if he runs for when he runs for president. Again, there's no, if it's a win, and why not, right? I mean, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was by his side during his administration. She never let him down. They never had a fight. He never suspected her of being a leaker. She is one of the very few people that Trump trusted unconditionally. So that would make sense. She's also first female governor of Arkansas that's gonna count for something. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHu3jz6HJbc
