In It to Win It

Well... looks like we're stuck with Lauren Boebert

The voters of the Colorado's 3rd punished her, and she couldn't be this batshit-MAGA-own the libs Republican anymore... so she switches to a safe GOP district and wins the primary.

If she wins in November, this will be her third terms and she'll be eligible to collect a pension partially funded by taxpayers after that. She'll be a burden to us for the rest of her life (in more ways than one).

There were 6 candidates in the gop primary. The magats were a minority, but unified. The anti-bo's split their votes.

It is probably the redest district in CO, but it isn't a majority magat district.

"Lauren Boebert has a massive lead in the 4th Congressional District Republican primary, poll shows"

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert is the clear front-runner in the six-way Republican primary in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District as voters begin receiving their ballots, according to a new poll.

Forty percent of those polled said they would vote for Boebert in the June 25 primary, while 5% said they would vote for businessman Peter Yu; 4% each said they would vote for state Rep. Richard Holtorf, former state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg and conservative commentator Deborah Flora; and 3% said they would vote for state Rep. Mike Lynch.


How do you define "hated"? Or, for that matter, "obviously."? Or "polling"?

Ever the brave politician, she first reached across the aisle, but when she found she was not making progress she swallowed her pride. In retrospect, perhaps she should have reversed the order.

Did you even once consider that she did all she could, only to be thwarted by a Dem who couldn't be convinced to come over to her side?

This is about ONE congressional seat--- but Boebert is no asset to the public relations division of the criminal organization formerly known as 'the Republican Party'....

On the other hand, it isn't over until it's over.... there is still a general election to be held

But great entertainment value!

What will Lauren get up to next? MSM, keep watching, keep reporting.

Can't imagine how she can top the Beetlejuice vaping and groping, but a Boebert is inventive, if nothing else!

Let me think . . . nope, can't think of what her next dopey act might be, over to you Lauren!
Don't let us down!
