The problem is that now we must have a Vacancy Committee replace Buck in CD-4 and Boebert has to give up her CD-3 seat in order to run for CD-4.

Then there will be a Vacancy Committee meeting to backfill CD-3.

Boebert likely won't win the Vacancy Committee vote to fill the remainder of Buck's term. But that won't stop her from continuing to run for Primary in June, to see who's on the ballot in Nov.

They’re going to pimp the hell out of him now that he’s played the GOOBer card and tells all the turd rollers that he left the GOP because President Trump got the nomination. TV Retards will get tired of hearing it but he’ll more than likely “write a book” about his “brave and courageous” move to save the far-left’s Amerikaner Democrazy.

Buck used to work for Dick Cheney, and he is strongly pro-Liz.

That may be why Buck bows out earlier than expected. To thwart Boebert

“I cannot understand why anyone would vote for Boebert. “

Because she won’t stab her constituents in the back like Buck did.

He may be able to run one of Mayorkass’ “Street Taco” trucks. Mayorkass and 20 million illegal aliens owe him for his vote.

Buck ran for the senate in 2010 and would have been another Tea Party Kitzinger if he had won. Mitt Romney the second.

“Because she won’t stab her constituents in the back like Buck did.”

And for a few bucks she’ll rub them off in a public theater surrounded by kids.

They may have something on Ken Buck. Or he has decided to sell out.

He’s off early to start his career as a K Street lobbyist and has been doing the bidding of the Deep State to get that job.

A bad Republican representative will vote with the Democrats.

A good Republican representative will vote with the Republicans.

A great Republican representative will vote with the Republicans and attack the Democrats.

Lauren Boebert is a great Republican representative.
