great. doesn't matter, that bitch won her primary, and is going to win the seat she carpetbagged her way into. all the shaudenfruede means nothing when the monsters still have the majority in the house, and can legislate. yeah she's a moron. republicans don't give a shit.
She won against the last Democrat by less percentage than my current BAC in a solid red district. Her being the candidate is the best hope for Dems to take that seat.
She's not campaigning for a seat in the same district. She moved to a district in Eastern Colorado because she knew she couldn't get elected in the same district she ran in last time.
Honestly, I’d rather Bobo get the seat than a Republican who may actually be able to legislate their awful beliefs. Boebert is a clown, but in the grand scheme of things, she’s a pretty ineffective member of Congress. Only 3 of her introduced bills have passed the House.
She may generate sound clips for the right wing media machine, but they seem to be able to generate endless hate porn without much want or worry. I don’t think Lauren is their golden goose, laying gilded shits.
So on balance, Bobo taking up a deep R seat isn’t the worst outcome.
