CNN just covered the Boebert story

[senseandsensibility]

She denies it. What a trainwreck. She says that no one was arrested and she did not punch her ex in the face. Also says she's switching districts to get away from him.

[hlthe2b]

1. CO District 3 was prepared to "take out the trash" but now, new district CD-4 is going to have to

foil her attempts to relocate/run there and become an even bigger problem for Colorado.

So, I, for one, hope she keeps up with the media-covered "scandals"--whatever they may be. She thinks it is just "enemies" from her own CD-3 district supposedly tattling/reporting on her. Well, I've got news for her. They will be even more motivated to do so in CD-4.

[senseandsensibility]

2. Just wondering why you think CD-4 would be even more

motivated to do so? I know nothing about CO politics, I'll be the first to admit.

[hlthe2b]

3. Geographically CD4 covers Eastern 1/3, but includes wealthy Douglas County's Highlands Ranch

south of Denver and while geographically enormous, it is only 1/3 rural and dips into tiny areas of Larimer (Loveland) and Boulder Counties, while extending from the eastern New Mexico border north to the Wyoming border.. Conservative--absolutely, but not the same libertarian conservatives she had on the western slope. Better educated overall and less amenable to her antics--particularly her sexual escapades and related hypocrisy. It was represented by Ken Buck, who was certainly a conservative asshole, but a well-educated one. To his credit, one of his earlier "accomplishments" was firing Jenna Ellis during his time in the local attorney's office (Greeley, I think).

It will definitely go Republican, but there were already a ton of well-known candidates readying for the spot when Buck announced he was foregoing reelection. She is a carpet-bagger and that is not a welcome thing. The one thing she has going for her is comparatively a lot of $$ donations. But, given the Republican Minority leader of the State House is running, that could easily change. She doesn't know this new district and has no record to run on including supporting the issues of her last one. Her opponents on the other hand, especially Mike Lynch, do have such records and know their district constituents.

CD-03 was ideal for someone of her ilk, but she only won reelection by 500 votes or so. A new district and one considerably different for 03-- after all her escapades-- will be a very uphill path for her.

4. That sounds promising

Thanks.

[hlthe2b]

5. Not for Democrats, but for ridding us of that scourge, yes.

[senseandsensibility]

6. Gotcha!

[mountain grammy]

15. and we still have a good shot at picking up the 3rd

Adam Frisch is looking strong. Wonder who the billionaires will choose to replace Boebert.

[Arazi]

8. What do you think of Adam Frisch's chances now?

And if he can’t pull it off, whose the most likely (Republican) contender in CD-3?

[hlthe2b]

12. Uphill, unfortunately, but I have some hope. He's raised a Shit-load of $$ so there is that.

Jeff Hurd seems to have the most backing from Republicans, but I expect others may jump in... He's never held office, but then what were Boebert's qualifications?

[malaise]

7. Poor fool

I bet someone has video

[senseandsensibility]

11. You would think so

There's cameras everywhere now.

[malaise]

13. These unserious vulgarians should be nowhere near

Representing people
She really is a lowlife.

[Sneederbunk]

9. Calling in Palin for advice.

[UTUSN]

10. She must continue to want the congresscritter job for all the time off to pursue her entertainments.

[Attilatheblond]

20. No congressional pension unless served 5 years or more, I believe

This is only year 4 for the charming BoBo

[DoBW]

14. oh, okay

We should just believe her then

[TheBlackAdder]

16. Wait! So she's switching districts to get away from him? She's moving out of the matrimonial home?

[hatrack]

18. So devoted to getting away from him that she approached and punched him (allegedly) . . . .

Whatevs.

[bullwinkle428]

17. How many times did she try and alter her "Beetlejuice" story from the moment

the news initially surfaced?

IIRC, several times.

[getagrip_already]

19. Every time her previous version fell apart....

She would come up with a new one.

Always a lie, but each time a different lie.

[LeftRightLeft]

21. she has a nice story there

doesn't she?
