Lauren Boebert just got a double dose of very crappy news

[Ohio Joe]

When a political candidate wins their primary election, it’s usually traditional for their rivals from the same party to give their support—begrudgingly or not—to the winner. Not so in Colorado’s third district.

He added, “Let’s elect someone who cares about representing the majority of people in the middle that are fed up with extreme partisanship and juvenile antics.”

Coram’s endorsement was welcomed by Frisch, who praised him for his public service and said the State Senator “recognizes that extremists like Boebert make it impossible to get things done for the people of CO-3. I am building a strong bipartisan coalition to ensure that the people of Southern and Western Colorado have an effective representative in Washington who will focus on the issues facing their families, their communities, and their businesses.”

Many political observers assumed the MAGA devotee to be a sure bet to win re-election in the midterms this November. But a new poll at the start of October showed Frisch just two percentage points behind her (45% to her 47%).

A poll last week spelled even further trouble for Boebert. It had Frisch at 45% and Boebert at 40%.

This has become a far closer race than I ever thought, which is very good news. The loon Boebert really needs to go.

[FakeNoose]

1. Please let this be the END of her!

I suspect there will be a lot of party lines crossed in Colorado this year.

Come on Colorado Dems in District 3, elect Adam Frisch!

[Mister Ed]

20. It may be the end of her political career...

...but also the beginning of an extremely lucrative career as a Fox News guest and a headline speaker at right-wing rallies.

[geardaddy]

36. Bingo.

2. Dog killer Boebert needs a seat in a cell, not in Congress.

Roe, Roe, Roe your vote
against theocracy!
Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!

THESE are the races that will determine control of the House of Representatives:

31. ....

Dog killer Boebert needs a seat in a cell, not in Congress.

The story about killing the neighbor's dog is falling apart.

I can assure you it wasn’t Lauren Boebert who shot the dog,’ a spokesperson for the Garfield County sheriff’s office told DailyMail.com.

The congresswoman said it was her neighbor Brady Hogan who killed Omega, and only after the dog and another husky owned by Mendoza attacked three of her goats.

‘They were viciously attacked at the neck and at their rear end,’ Boebert said. ‘Two dogs at each end on each goat.’

‘Her dogs had been going all throughout the neighborhood, killing chickens and turkeys and cats and other goats, and harassing other livestock,’ she added. ‘So (Hogan) went in there and neutralized the threat.’

Boebert, 35, pointed out that Hogan shot another of Mendoza’s dogs last October, after it killed a half dozen other animals in the neighborhood, including her own.

Colorado – like most states – allows dogs to be killed for attacking livestock. The law says: 'Any dog found running, worrying, or injuring sheep, cattle, or other livestock may be killed, and the owner or harborer of such dog shall be liable for all damages done by it.'

And, according to Boebert, Mendoza still has a third dog that the congresswoman says is 'terrorizing the neighborhood'.

‘She has a husky that is still getting into my goat pen and other people’s goat pens, and I know that calls have been made and there are witnesses throughout the neighborhood,’ she told DailyMail.com.

‘He got to one of my goats a couple days ago, leaving a gash on his leg.’

Mendoza is now walking her accusation back.

But when contacted by the DailyMail.com, Mendoza wouldn’t stand by her own posting.

Asked whether Boebert had shot her dog, she told DailyMail.com, ‘I’m not sure, I need to figure that out.

‘I need to take a step back for a second,’ she said while avoiding further questions. ‘I’m not ready to release anything to media sources.’

34. I don't like Boebert for her stupidity as a non-representative in Congress.

That said, putting down dogs that harry small livestock is necessary. We had a good sized herd of dairy goats who were protected by their dogs, Great Pyrenees. If those dogs had gotten into our herd the Pyrs would have killed them with prejudice.

Friends of ours that had mixed livestock on their ranch in the hill country near Austin had a problem with people moving from the city thinking they could just let their dogs run free. Mr. was out in his Jeep when he saw to Golden Retrievers attacking sheep. Two animals dead while the dogs were going after others. He put them both down, and buried them on his property.

The odd thing, people who raise small ruminants protected by livestock protection dogs seldom have the dogs kill coyotes or wolves. Those animals will stay away from sheep or goats with Pyrs or Akbash dogs, deciding it’s too risky. Neighbor dogs don’t understand and will attack the grazers. These are killed by the guardians.

Anyway, I don’t know if I read this correctly, but if these dogs were attacking people’s livestock, they needed to be put down. If the kill or injure one animal, that’s it.

And I do like dogs, but I love my goats.

37. Thanks! Maybe the story will settle near the facts.

[GreenWave]

35. Certainly she is a Jeep ATV killer and accident scene fugitive and "loved ones" abandoner!

[ismnotwasm]

3. Good. She's trash.

[Cha]

4. That would be so Great for our Democracy

if that Psycho boebert Bot got sent home back to Colorado and a real person, Adam Frisch, is sent to Congress!

[SunSeeker]

5. Thanks for the reminder, I just send Adam $25. nt

[Ford_Prefect]

6. It is my hope that they're all doomed by their collective and individual Hoof-In-Mouth.

[FelineOverlord]

7. Adam Frisch is thrilled!

8. I would like to see that idiot voted out of office.

[NullTuples]

9. Lauren Boebert is one of the reasons I'll be really frustrated if J6 prosecutions skip Congress

[Hortensis]

10. And she's female. Running as a Republican.

She should already be dead, but with some luck...

[PatrickforB]

11. Lauren Boebert has brought shame on Colorado and all its people.

I for one hope she loses BIG, and then later is indicted on criminal charges.

[Trust_Reality]

32. You are absolutely correct.

That rebellious twit is an embarrassment to Colorado - among other things.

Apparently Western Colorado (and Eastern) are --- peculiar?

[PatrickforB]

38. LOL, yeah, we do have some Kluxers out east for sure, and a bunch of Qs on the western slope.

But those are the base. I think independents are getting pissed.

You know, I was looking at Jena Griswold's voter registration aggregate numbers (I LIKE her as our SOS), and apparently registrations among both Indy and Dem voters are up, up, up in the younger age bands, but down for Republicans.

Not everyone here likes him, but Michael Moore (who was in fact right when he predicted Trump would win in '16) is now calling November 8 'Roevember,' and predicting a real blue wave.

Because honestly, we can disagree about issues, the role government should take, the role of the private sector and have some vigorous debate and compromise to move forward - which is what the founders wanted, or we can be polarized and do nothing. People are getting sick of the Republicans, and in spite of the sniveling 'news coverage' provided by cable networks and the Sinclair Media Group, they are beginning to see the truth about just which party is being the proverbial cork in the rectum of progress.

We'll see - Fingers crossed and hoping Americans wake the heck up and vote accordingly.

[Alien Life Form]

12. Say am negative but

the fact that she and far to many others like her are even over 10% makes me sick

[OMGWTF]

13. I hope Bang-Bang Barbie loses badly and is humiliated into obscurity.

Poor Bang-Bang really needs that job, tho, since her new landlord didn't renew the lease on her bang-bang restaurant and now she has nowhere to go. The Daily Beast reported in June that “a person familiar with the arrangement said the property manager felt he had a ‘moral’ imperative to close the business and had planned to lease the space to another restaurant,” but this has not been confirmed.

[calimary]

18. Oooooh! "Bang-Bang Barbie"!!!

OMGWTF, that is PERFECT!!! Fits her like a glove.

I hope she’s decisively voted OUT!!!

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Several Of Us Have Been Using That...

...since she rose out of the slime 21 months ago.
It's utterly perfect for her.

[niyad]

28. Her pedo husband is pulling down nearly half a mil annually as a completely

unqualified "consultant" for some shady energy company.

[Tommymac]

29. Not if she loses.

[mountain grammy]

14. and to hell with 9 news who wouldn't have a Frisch/Boebert debate

because her election was a "sure thing."

[Lonestarblue]

15. Here's hoping that at least some Republicans an Independents are getting tired of the

reality show performances staged by Boebert and Greene just to get attention. Neither ran for election to actually do anything. All they want is to make a lot of noise and become famous. Both make the voters who support them look like loons because the two of them are loons.

[IronLionZion]

16. Every vote counts in close elections like this

Be wary of anyone trying to discourage Dems from voting.

[llmart]

17. This is encouraging news.

I don't live in Colorado, but if I did I would be OK with a sane Republican for that district. However, it seems like that's a rare breed nowadays.

[jmowreader]

21. Boebert's personal antics are going to play a HUGE role in it

That, and the fact she doesn't actually do anything if she ever bothers to show up at work.

[dai13sy]

22. Bye-Bye Loser

Where would I send a "Good Luck Loon in your new venture" card - what will you be doing now?

[tishaLA]

23. She'll be the next one screaming "DOMINION!"

after she loses. And I hope Dominion does to her what it's doing to Lindell.

[oldsoftie]

24. Two good jokes come to mind but I wont tell them

Might be a bit TOO accurate

[marble falls]

25. She could always open a restaurant and bar.

[orangecrush]

26. KICK

[liberalla]

27. This puts me in a very good mood!

[Roy Rolling]

30. "Juvenile"

A very potent branding word.Democrats should brand every Republican with that label and make their defend their childish drama for the TV cameras.

[Trust_Reality]

33. Yes.

I note that Rs like to use another potent word against Dems: "elite"
And I think it has an effect.
But, for Dems, it amounts to being informed, getting accurate news, knowing a little history, not falling for crazy conspiracy claims, etc.
