What’s the DCPA?

I’m going to disagree that “we don’t need Boebert”. However, it looks like, based on what you say, that this conservative district will vote her out anyway.

But, I have watched videos of her standing up on the floor of the House and just fearlessly and confidently “lettin em have it”. We need about 200 more reps doing that!

I also like her confident, defiant and public stance on the 2nd Amendment.

I agree her behavior in the theater was ridiculous for a self respecting US House of Representative.

Also, I think she’s an attractive woman and many automatically dislike her for that.

Denver Center for the Performing Arts

Boebert voted to keep McCarthy

The guy she was exchanging gropes with is a bar owner who has had drag shows in his bar.

We can do a whole lot better than Boebert. We have fighters in this district. Boebert is just carpet-bagging in because she can't hold her own district.

CD 4 is much, much more conservative than her current district. It's the most conservative in the state - by far.

At this point, I couldn't care less is a Republican has a conservative voting record.

Ken Buck ran as a Tea Party candidate and had a great voting record. And, he's become one of the biggest backstabbers in Congress.

What matters is whether a Republican passes the following litmus test: 1) Does the candidate support eliminating the Federal budget deficit 2) Unconditionally supports border security 3) Opposes neocon foreign policy.

Any Republican that fails to pass all three criterion is bought and paid for by the donors of the GOP, is compromised and can't be trusted.

Boebert passes that test.

Just like McKinley did in WV!

Multiple re-elections and roughly at the 10-year mark “they grow into the job” as the press would say.

Well McKinley got sent him. Now is political career in WV is dead!

Boebert passes that test.

You have a narrow test, but an important one.

Boebert, and many others in CD 4 pass your test hands down.

Here's where others in CD 4 are ahead of Boebert:

1) They wanted McCarthy gone - Boebert voted to keep him 2) They've lived in the district for many, many years and know the culture and people around it - Boebert is a carpet-bagger who is running from her own district she fouled up for conservatives to keep. 3) Most of the other candidates have strong families, put their faith in God first, and lead moral lives - Boebert? A train wreck.

Why are you so fixated on Boebert?

Do you live in the district? I do.

1) Does the candidate support eliminating the Federal budget deficit

Guess who doesn’t pass that test? Hint: he signed into law bills that increased the debt by 8.1 trillion dollars.
