And we may see Boebert back next year, though thankfully not representing my district. The DNC would do the whole country a favor if they would dump a few bucks into CD 4 reminding the voters *exactly* why her name is so familiar…
He could win but he would be winning in CD-3 which is where Boebert used to be. It was a shrewd move for Boebert to leave. She was less than 50/50 of winning re-election now she is 95%+ to win again in CD-4. And Frisch is still competitive but less dominant against a more traditional Republican since the district got redrawn.
I do understand that. And you are right- it was a shrewd move. She is not smart enough to have thought that through; she has a lot of help.
And I have to say that even the more “traditional” R, Jeff Hurd, seems to have fallen under, or willingly entered, the MAGA bus. There are a lot of good people in this area- I’ve lived here for decades- and they are thinking hard. Adam Frisch is not exactly anyone’s wet dream of a candidate, but he is a good person. That comes through, and it may well be enough. As a community, we have endured an enormous amount of fallout from Trumpism, no matter your affiliation.
We are agricultural- ranchers, farmers. We are recreational- mountain bikers, skiers, hikers, river runners, hunters. We have a huge energy production history- uranium, (which may be having a comeback), oil, oil shale, natural gas.
There is a huge movement toward conservation- water is an enormous issue.
It’s complicated. People are looking for some leadership on these concerns - and they are difficult to navigate.
I have yet to see a current Republican who even has full working knowledge of the whole array of concern. We have had a few brilliant R’s in our past.
Now that performance and news hits seem to be more important that actual substance, consideration, and thoughtful problem-solving, many citizens of our communities are thinking hard about what they want. And need.
I was just surprised she made a move that benefited her and her party. Obviously she didn't care about the party but she knew her prior district wasn't the same when she won originally.
Honestly, I could care less about the hand job at the play...they charge so much for those shows that I'm surprised it didn't come with it. But she's the one that courted the mountain "values" types so she knew that it turned off some of her voters. So switching to Douglas County and the super-Trumpy small counties outside of it was smart because her name recognition is enough to win against several other opponents and the general is 60-40 so she probably will win by a smaller margin but easily win.
They would've had to covertly back a Republican challenger in the primary and would've had to have done so a while ago. Now it looks like she will win easily the primary which ensures a win in November since no Democrat could win that district as it is drawn now.
"Polite society version" when she badgers her staff with 4a.m. phone calls requiring responses within 8 minutes? (8 minutes? Where did that idea come from?)
Nancy Mace is the polite society version of Lauren Boebert. Absolutely no contribution to governing, just looking for any attention she can get.
And we may see Boebert back next year, though thankfully not representing my district. The DNC would do the whole country a favor if they would dump a few bucks into CD 4 reminding the voters *exactly* why her name is so familiar…
Hopefully your district sends Adam Frisch to Congress next year.

The R’s got nuthin’ to bring to the table.
Apologies- a rant long withheld.

Honest to God, I wish she would just go away.
Cindy,my sympathies! My district was once represented by Michele Bachman and now Tom "tea party" Emmer.

As far as I know Mace had not been caught having sexual acts in public like Boebert. The bar is low for the GOP I must add.
Mace has talked about potential sexual acts in public. At a prayer breakfast. https://www.newsweek.com/nancy-mace-upsets-conservatives-sex-talk-prayer-breakfast-1815853
Well, where else would you expect her to talk about that kind of thing?
Irony, thy name is Mace. She probably came from McCarthy's bedroom.
Are you suggesting a new meaning for Mace in your face?😏
OK, low bar granted. But so low that NOT having engaged in sexual acts in public puts you OVER it? OK, it is true that MAGA knows no bottom, but.....
Good attributes to work for Trumpster
There is some video of her and another woman swapping spit and other things. Don't know why the evangelicals don't kick her to the curb
She wore a scarlet letter A in congress so maybe...
Good luck number?
I thought that was only a lucky numbr in the Far East? Are you suggesting we all chip in to send her there?
You are on to something there. (Boebert,Mace and Trumpster) Works for me.
The problem is that Xi would not take them, not without some major league groveling, which is not one of CFT's strong points.
And they get that from Trumpster.
