I've seen enough: Lauren Boebert (R) has defeated Rep. Scott Tipton (R) in the #CO03 primary. Tipton becomes the fifth House incumbent to lose renomination in 2020.

2. Guns really make people look stupid.

Try it. Scroll up and down and see the IQ move.

10. She IS kind of cute, though.

7. That jut shows what a weak and feeble person she is. If you have to...

Advertise it, then well we know what that means.

BTW, NO BASEBALL THIS YEAR. ETA: the DH killed it.

14. Sure. Let's force players who haven't hit since grade school, face major league pitching.

That's real entertaining.

19. Huge Q bot

[chillfactor]

3. Don't think she is an approvement over Tipton. n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

5. No but it puts the district in play.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats pick this one up (they held the district until 2011).

11. Hmm

I think she’s an improvement because she will vote the same but is nutty enough we might actually beat her in the general.

4. CO-3

Is going to be a competitive district this fall. It's a boon for democrats to not have to face an incumbent there now. Still going to be a fight to get, but it's going to be high on the list of flip targets for DNCC this year.

15. I don't know anything about this person who beat

scott tipton.. But I would think it will matter how much more trump fucks up and how much she sucks up to trump.

[BGBD]

17. Tipton

won that district by 8 in 2018 against the same challenger who just won the dem primary after winning by 14 in 2016. She's a quality candidate for us.

The Rep candidate is full on RWNG. Her claim to fame was being on Fox News under the headline "Colorado Woman Confronts O'Rourke Over Gun Confiscation." Her campaign page is full of pictures of her wearing or holding a gun and she's proudly displaying her endorsement from the "Bikers for Trump."

She's on Trump tighter than his girdle.

18. lol.. well, that's pretty damn tight!

I see Tipton has been there since 2011.

This is our Dem.. I finally found it. I tried Bing first & nothing came up..

6. I'm sure he won here in his hometown.

As will Boebert. Cortez and Montezuma County is the least competitive polity I've ever lived.

8. Larry Sabato has moved the race to LEAN-R

[RandySF]

9. Wasserman moved it to Likely R

[gratuitous]

12. Trump gave Tipton his complete and total endorsement

Article from late in 2019 here.

The Merdas Touch of Donald continues.

16. TY for that.. another endorsement by trump that turns

to shite.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

13. Is there a Democrat running?
