Cook shifts Boebert race to ‘toss-up’
The Hill ^ | 07/20/2023 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Posted on 07/20/2023 9:30:09 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report announced Thursday it was shifting its rating of Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) competitive House district race from “lean Republican” to “toss up.”

Cook Political Report editor David Wasserman said the change in the rating comes after recent campaign finance disclosures revealed Boebert’s challenger raised more than three times what Boebert raised in the second quarter. Boebert, a conservative firebrand, faces what was already sure to be a high-stakes rematch with former Aspen City Councilman Adam Frisch, a Democrat who lost to Boebert in 2022 by a mere 546 votes. The close race triggered an automatic recount, but Frisch conceded to Boebert before the recount was complete.

We would miss her. It would be sad. The left would see her head as a trophy on the wall. It’s still a red district. No excuses.

That rural district is red as hell. It really shows how unpopular she is that a Democrat could even be competitive there.

Necessary public statements to provide plausibility when vote totals suddenly change between midnight and 6:00AM.

Preparing the field for a flagrant election steal.

This is Colorado, after all, with a SOS who is a corrupt Soros stooge.

This one doesn’t surprise me. She barely won in 2020. And unless she stop being a story every second, she will be out the door.

Hey Cook, how is all that big donar money effecting the Republican presidential primary race?

What's the source of the Frisch money?

Sure.

Nevermind that she is right on the issues and fights for what she believes in. It's her boobs.

SMH.

“really shows how unpopular she is that a Democrat could even be competitive there.”

Or Aspen focused Libs pile a ton-o-mun-neeh into a race to simply pay off everybody in the game.

Clear the Field is how they play

"That rural district is red as hell. It really shows how unpopular she is that a Democrat could even be competitive there."

"Red as hell" == giving Trump just 51% of the vote in 2020? I guess he's exactly as unpopular as Boebert then because they are both 51%-ers here now.

Trump did do better here in 2016, just like everywhere else, before the plandemic made vote fraud so much easier for Democrats but neither Trump nor Boebert qualifies as popular, fraud or no fraud.

Anyone who inspires a lot of enthusiasm on the GOP side will generate an equal or greater amount of hate on the Rat side.

This is a marginal district now whether anyone wants to admit it or not, and barely "red" at all. The Rats have been going all out against Boebert since she took office and she's done well to survive this long. "Independents" vote in the GOP primary (as permitted by Colorado law) in order to support her opponent. That trick didn't work in 2022, but the general was very close and always will be with her.

Despite the tribe of media-controllers gleefully publicizing her catfight with MTG, we need BOTH of them in Congress since they both have more balls (so to speak) than nearly any other GOP reps.

Any incumbent getting massively outspent this early in a campaign in a marginal district is in serious trouble, period. It doesn't mean she automatically loses in '24, but nobody should be so naive to think she's remotely safe.

Keep shaking.

If you have faith in our future due to her and MTG, you’re permanently gone.

She fights. She believes in the right things. Those are two simple things that I pointed out to you.

Your initial post and now, your response are nonsense.

“Your initial post and now, your response are nonsense.”

Who could argue with that?…

I gave you two simple points that you couldn't argue with.

So you had to respond with some nonsense about boobs, shaking it, being permanently gone, MTG.

LOL!

The Democrats got rid of Tina Peters in Mesa County, then rigged Mesa County as hard as they could.

Right in everyone's faces, and no one could do a thing about it.
