Outraised and embattled, Lauren Boebert heads back to Colorado with a revamped campaign strategy

PAGOSA SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Retreating from the turmoil in Washington, D.C., Rep. Lauren Boebert arrived in bucolic southwest Colorado to turmoil of a different sort — the lingering impact of an embarrassing moment when she was caught on tape vaping and groping with a date during a musical production of “Beetlejuice.”

The scandal threw a wrench into an already tough reelection bid. After Boebert won her last race by just 546 votes, she began revamping her campaign strategy. It now includes apologies to voters at campaign events for an episode that has rattled even loyal Republicans.

“Most of us were like ‘holy cow,’" said Beverly Cuyler, a long-time Boebert supporter. “And one of the big reasons for that is a gap between how she presented herself as a Christian and what ended up happening.”

Expected to face a rematch with Democrat Adam Frisch, in a race that could determine which party controls Congress, Boebert tackled the embarrassment head-on at the Lincoln Day Dinner in Archuleta County.

She's proved she's not ready for prime time. Frisch knows that and so do the voters who saw her foolishness. Hopefully all the Dems come out and shoo this loser back to her homestead.

Unless she does something to aptly address her performative and measurable failures, I think she's gone in her next cycle, and finally off to some two-bit media gig on Youtube or twitter.

Republicans don't mind the morals stuff.

It was her democrat boyfriend they object to.
