Read more: Lauren Boebert has a massive lead in the 4th Congressional District Republican primary, poll shows 40% of those polled said they would vote for the Republican congresswoman on June 25 — a 35-point lead over her closest competitor

No surprise she is in the lead. This congressional district is basically Nebraska politically but within the Colorado border

1. Stupid ass Republicans. If they want her as their Rep to do nothing but publicity stunts, whatever.

2. This poll is for the Republican primary June 25. While it is a heavily R district, there are many indies (& D's)

and quite a few non-MAGA R's who oppose her, so this is not so meaningful for the "General." Not to mention that even in this primary poll, there were 40% UNDECIDED.

All it means is she has the lead for the primary, which given her competition has largely imploded, that is not so unusual. But with 40% not yet weighing in, all bets are off.

I thought this forum required posting the original title in the header:

4. Total lack of voter civic responsibility and moral compass.

5. It is a six-way race. None of the others have name recognition.

The next highest in polling is a candidate with an Asian-sounding surname.

The larger point of concern is that no reasonable, able Republican wants to oppose Bobbett for fear of hostility by right-wing adherents.

6. I think the primary in the heavily Republican CO 4th is shaping up

to be a contest between two rival factions of the Republican Party — those most associated with the trump machine, and those more aligned with the GOP's traditional wing.

I think Boebert would be an ideal candidate for the Democratic nominee to campaign against, as she's a less intelligent, savvy, and well-spoken person than even Sarah Palin. The contrast between leadership on one hand, and public lewdness and trashy behavior on the other would be a good sell.

7. If Boebert wins the GOP primary in Colorado's 4th congressional district, she'll win the general election.

"Colorado's 4th congressional district has a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of R+13. it is the most Republican district in Colorado. No Democrat has received more than 40% of the vote as a U.S. House candidate in the district since 2010."

8. Yuck! Sorry to hear that

[Midnight Writer]

9. Oh well, it's not as if any of the other primary candidates would be better.

From what I saw of the debate, they all have plenty of baggage.
