    Just flagrantly fucking with the system now. This person needs to just go away and do something else aside from pissing an entire country off.

        Excuse me. Do not denigrate one of the most important organs in the human body by comparing it with this person. The Rectum holds all the poops in. It’s important. She may be the stained skin of the rectum, but don’t elevate her position by comparing her to such an important part of the human body.

          Words have meaning and modern context is important to keep in mind but in some cultures “asshole” is synonymous with the stained skin of the rectum. I know these talks can be charged because emotions are so high, but it’s good to remember we’re all people, we all care, and we all have value even if we disagree about some things.

          Except for Bowvart; not even worth the effort to hit backspace a few times.

    This is exactly how carpetbaggers used to work. Scam one town, move on to the next.

    We should call these scammers what they really are.

    So she’s getting her ass kicked in CD3, and is moving to a different district because she thinks that’ll stop people from hating her?

    (Oh, I’m sorry, it’s a dark-money conspiracy. yes. moving will stop the dark money conspiracy, too.)

      This will most likely help Republicans keep CO-3 as it’s right leaning, but they were sick of her… A “normal Republican” will more likely do better there without the bobo baggage.

      Also, not a slam dunk for her to win the R primary in the other district…

        Probably, but I think blowbert gave Frisch some momentum where whoever they pick to replace her is going to have to play catch up.

        It’s likely that Co3 is going to stay republican; but I doubt that Co4 is going to like her anymore than her old district.

          Totally agree. Frisch may still have a chance, but it will most likely be more difficult for him when he isn’t facing Bobo.

        Honestly, I think she knows she can’t win CO-3 anymore. I can’t imagine that she’ll make it through the CO-4 primaries either, and she probably knows that too, but at least if it comes down to that she can make up some excuse to save face vs losing an incumbent position

    I will not allow dark money that is directed at destroying me to steal this seat

      Her new district is actually the eastern plains. And the western slope isn’t all bad. Fruita is pretty great.

        What sucks is CD4 isn’t just the eastern plains. It contains a huge amount of suburbs as well, but the district is so huge that the suburban vote gets washed out.

        It’s not required? So, like, could I maybe run against her?

        I always wanted to be a congress person…

            sadly, not in colorado. Though I’d have to admit, I’m an asshole.

            (not that I’m disagreeing with the less-harm-than-her thing… just saying you could do way better than me in politics.)

          The Constitutuin only requires members to be a resident of the state they were elected from, not of the district. Which makes sense, since districts may need to redrawn after each census, and it seems unfair to move a member’s district through redistricting. (Sometimes it is unavoidable, though, when a state loses districts and districts are combined).

      Gave handie to boyfriend while he groped her boobs at a theater with kids present and was videotaped. She was kicked out. Her constituents bailed on a tight race in the polls, she knows she won’t win. She’s now hedging her bets to stay in congress by moving to another district before the primaries, because I’m pretty sure she’s not going to get a real job.

        There’s a job as a Fox pundit waiting for her, all she has to do is bleach her hair

          You at least have to be intelligent and articulate enough on Fox News to make the propaganda work. Say what you want about fox news anchors, but they at least sound smart if you don’t pay attention to their words. At no point has Boebert ever sounded like she had two brain cells to rub together.

          MTG sounds smarter than LB and that’s the lowest bar I can think of without branching into vegetables.

          In a historically very red district. Her constituents hate her. The race was way closer than it was predicted to be.
