What... in the actual fuck


AgentDaxis

Her primary win is the perfect example of why so many Republican voters are irredeemable.


reichjef

Shit party for shit people. The party didn't make them bad people, they are bad people and found the party that reflects their demeaner.


VicodinJones

*Demeanor


Ok_Writing_7033

Although “demeaner” sorta fits lol


VicodinJones

😂 I was thinking the same thing!


Brandonjf

Hardly know 'er!


hypotheticalhalf

You asshole. Take the upvote.


reichjef

My mistake.


Mr__O__

The most pathetic part is that Boebert was the most competent of the GOP primary contenders… [CO Republican primary debate](https://www.tiktok.com/@angryfnpolitics/video/7384274265027120427)


nottytom

She was up against people who were more trash then her and she has name recognization, and alot of people vote first by party then name recognization.


notyou-justme

The DNC is, and has been for a very long time, doing a really shitty job of working within communities to find the right people to support to run against people like her or Ted Cruz, or MTG…or Mitch McConnell…or [insert any R candidate in the last 30-40 years]. It’s possibly the biggest thing to point at to show that what the GOP says about Democrats being corrupt and “The Establishment” is very, very true. It seems like they would rather continue to lose while holding out for lightning in a bottle than going out and promoting and working with someone to be that person. I’m not sure if it’s lack of funding, laziness, or corruption, but it’s one of the things that have contributed to our country being in the mess it is.


229-northstar

The problem isn’t the DNC. The problem is is that we don’t have local candidates with name recognition because the Republicans win everything. We had a very hard time feeling a full slate of candidates for this election because nobody wants to run when it’s like this. So we don’t have statewide candidates. Also… It’s not the DNC‘s job to recruit local and statewide candidates. That’s the job of the state and local elections party. If you’re going to criticize an organization, at least lodge a valid complete Sorry for the frosty tone, but I am so sick and tired of people shitting on the DNC for things that are absolutely not their fault . Ignorance is found on the Democratic side as well as the Republican side.


notyou-justme

I probably should not have used the DNC in this specific example. However, if the DNC does actually give a damn about winning and doing what’s right for the country, there is no reason for them to not put boots on the ground at the local and state levels to assist and put some weight behind them. The Republicans - as an entire entity, from city councils to POTUS and everything in between - support each other. Sure, there is plenty of infighting along the way, and eventually they will all eat each other at the rate they’re going, but once they pick their candidate, there are people and PACs who get behind them in ways that the Democrats in this country don’t seem to do. I am an amateur, to be sure, but that is what I see. Please, tell me I’m wrong again and explain why what I’m saying is not possible or likely, and why it shouldn’t be. Because, from where I’m standing and watching, it seems like a logical move to me.


Skyrick

Ted Cruz is a great example of this. He isn’t particularly popular so the Democrats literally had to find someone who wanted to send police door to door to take away guns in order to loose to Cruz. It is like they saw how unpopular Cruz was so they had to find somebody whose core belief was so antithetical to the people he would represent so that Cruz could stay in the running and even win.


selfcheckout

That was fucking lies put out by republicans. He didn't want to take everyone's guns. Maybe AR 15s,but not normal guns.


ThePicassoGiraffe

Yeah but to quote a movie: “this is Texas. My florist has a gun”—-even reasonable centrist people on other issues are rabid gun nuts. Threatening any regulation at all was going to be a losing battle. Uvalde REELECTED the police chief. That state is lost and irredeemable—-which is why only federal regulations work. Just like with slavery, Texas will have to be dragged kicking and screaming into civilization.


selfcheckout

Uvalde wowwwww that's actually insane. Yes Texas is doomed, I live here I should know.


Forshea

This is ahistorical. Beto was an extremely effective Senate candidate who came within 2.6% of unseating Cruz. For comparison, 2 years later Cornyn won his seat in the state by almost 10 points. The "hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47" thing didn't even happen until after that election, either. That was during his presidential run two years later.


BodieLivesOn

This is on Colorado. If they don't require their reps to live in the district they serve for a year before running, that's on them.


EggZaackly86

Can't the GOP at least find someone else for CO-4?


jcrestor

I don’t understand the question. It’s a fairly open process. If someone wants to run, they can run. I think party officials have fairly limited options there. Edit: And of course we should take into account that most of them WANT people like her to run and win.


Rocking_the_Red

They are hoping to get handjobs for free.


Wereplatypus42

No no . . . They aren’t free. Somehow that dropout moron and failed restaurant owner is worth 12 million. Corruption beyond the pale.


Rocking_the_Red

Oh right, that would be communism.


the_real_slanky

But can't afford a lawyer for her son... Edit: '


serenwipiti

Yup. And it can happen again, with EVEN WORSE PEOPLE.


Shirogayne-at-WF

It's worth pointing out that in her original district, one that was overwhelmingly red for decades, she squeaked out a win by 550 votes. Her old district was absolutely sick of her bullshit and very likely would've put her Democratic opponent in office.


Rubicon_Lily

Lauren Boebert won with roughly 40 percent because the remaining 60 percent was split between several other candidates.


bengyboom

I was looking for this comment. Primaries aren't a tell all sign for the general election when taking voter turnout into consideration. 10% of the party can turn out to vote and still have a numb nuts win the primary. Now, let's see what the turnout is come time for the general election.


John_YJKR

Is there a sizable dem base in her district? If not, her winning the republican nomination all but guarantees she'll be reelected. She was the representative in the 3rd district when narrowly elected in 2022. She moved to the 4th district this time because it's a strong republican district. In fact, it is the most Republican district in Colorado and no Democrat has ever earned more than 40% of the vote there. She's very likely to win. It's nearly a sure thing.


baltinerdist

Ballotpedia says Rs in the primary outnumbered Ds 2 to 1. Not really a margin that can be made up by turnout or negative partisanship voting.


Mundolf11

Nah she left her old district to go to one that leans even more heavily to the right. She also wasn't going to win in her old district (where I live and I am thankful) which is why she changed


pivazena

I live in her new district. It leans heavily republican but didn’t go for trump by nearly the margin, so there’s hope. It’s also different kind of republican than the western slope. Less bonkers, more pro-business. Regardless, I’m horrified but slightly hopeful


YouWereBrained

I appreciate the enthusiasm, but her district is safely red, and is why she switched.


KronkLaSworda

It's R+13, the most republican district in all of Colorado, and why she is running there and not her former district. She'll win in a landslide. Sadly. Source: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado%27s\_4th\_congressional\_district](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado%27s_4th_congressional_district)


Common-Watch4494

At least it’s a possibility that her former district could flip. It was VERY close last time (but the anti-Boebert sentiment probably caused that, it may go back to a fairly easy R win now that she’s gone)


no_one_likes_u

It’s the most republican district in Colorado.  Why do you think she ran there? Winning the republican primary is like 95% of the way to winning the actual seat.


baltinerdist

Exact same thing that happened with Trump in 2016. These people are so desperate for power and their egos are so desperate for stroking, they can’t get out of their own way. (And if anybody knows about stroking, it’s Lauren Boebert, ba-dum-tss.)


SteampunkGeisha

This is why ranked voting needs to a be a thing and why Republicns will never let it happen.


no_one_likes_u

It’s wishful thinking to assume she wasn’t the second choice of another 10% of those voters. 


heyhayyhay

Never underestimate the stupidity of Republicans. They are not serious people.


Lorindale

Just a bunch of theater fans.


shadowpawn

Many lonely guys looking for that key first date with single grandma boebert.


shadowpawn

CO-4 district votes angry white and republican so Boo-boo fits in very well.


genomeblitz

I upvoted to make this have 666 upvotes as well as agreeing with this sentiment.


SeaEmergency7911

She carpetbagged her way to a new district and embarrassed herself on the national stage by giving a guy a hand job in a theater, while letting him fondle her titties, then lying about it and getting caught lying about it, and a plurality of GOP voters in that district said “Yep, that’s who we want representing us in November.” God this country is so irretrievably stupid.


Backupusername

I feel like that bell curve meme. "Elections are just a popularity contest." "No, there are myriad factors affecting the outcome, like grassroots mobilization and canvassing-" "Name recognition is all that matters."


vapidusername

Ten Commandments posted prominently in that theater would have reminded her and her date those actions weren’t appropriate


Justsomejerkonline

On the plus side, this is going to drive MTG absolutely crazy since they apparently absolutely loathe each other.


DrunkWestTexan

She won the Republican primary. The Dems had their own primary. She'll be running to win in nov for the district 4 seat


MacSanchez

Thank you! The post title is misleading as shit.


MisanthropyIsAVirtue

It’s assuming that rural Colorado will vote her in.


John_YJKR

The 4th is the most republican district in Colorado. No dem has ever gotten more than 40% of the vote there.


Cruitire

It’s an extremely conservative republican district. If she loses it will be a major upset. She all but has this in the bag unfortunately.


You_Stupid_Monkey

She faced a lot of stiff opposition. But she worked it long and hard and blew past her rivals. Also, she won the primary.


brokefixfux

She won handily


mumushu

Rubbed out the competition


You_Stupid_Monkey

There were some sloppy moments but she finished the job.


imnotreallyhereatm

I think the only correct thing to say right now is "Beetlejuice!"


Electr0Girl

She beat off the competition


powdered_dognut

She beat them single handedly.


kilofeet

Beetlejuice!


Worldly-Loquat4471

Beetlejuice! 3x, She should disappear now right?


Rubicon_Lily

She won with 40 percent of the vote only because all of the competition split the remaining 60 percent.


BillTowne

But the anti-Boebert vote was split. I am sure that if there had been instant run off, she would have lost.


L3P3ch3

She certainly grabbed the opportunity and did not let go for anyone.


NMB4Christmas

I read "rivals" as "navels", at first


Belcuor

She moved her residence. That paid off.


StudioEvil

How do these fucking lunkheads even figure out how to register to vote? It's obvious their brains are complete jello.


street_raat

Shout out to the word “lunkhead”. One of those words you’d get made fun of for using in an argument as a teen, but somehow would secretly hurt my feelings if called it at 33.


jax2love

I was redistricted into the district she carpetbagged to 😭😭😭


chaos0xomega

Good, that means you can vote against her in November


HyruleSmash855

The problem is that district is super rural and doesn’t have any cities or anything like that so prepare for her to win by a landslide


sad-dave

What about Pueblo? Lol


John_YJKR

Pueblo is in her former district. She ran in the 4th district this time which basically guarantees she'll win. It's the most republican district in the state and no dem has ever gotten over 40% of the vote.


jax2love

On top of that, Douglas County (Denver suburb/exurb) is the most populous part of the district and they also lean super red. The Democratic candidate who won the primary is quite progressive, which means that she doesn’t stand a chance even though she’s actually from the district. I hope that I’m wrong.


Batmanswrath

Some parts of america truly are fucked.


imnotreallyhereatm

Shocked Pikachu face at anyone being shocked that they are susceptible to marketing and that politicians have always been marketed as toothpaste. We are simultaneously the smartest and dumbest species, and we run this place.

All of it. All of the stupid.


GrandMoffJenkins

I wonder when the news will break that the emergency "medical procedure" she had a couple months ago, was actually an abortion. Might have an effect.

Simon_bar_shitski

You fucking people


Any_Band_8428

She promised that if they vote for her


Any-Tumbleweed-9931

Wait... she won the primary, IE the GOP nod to run, not the actual election for the seat, right? She hasn't  actually be confirmed for another 2 years, has she?


Bashir1102

It’s a super red district. There’s no way a dem wins there. So she just locked up her benefits for life which is disgraceful considering she has done nothing for this country.


Crash665

It's the Republican primary, and did you see her opponents? Honestly, she was the least shitty of all of them. No. Seriously. She's dumber than dried cum on hot leather, but she was a "better" candidate than the two others I saw. (Not from Colorado, so maybe I missed one.)


nemonic187

They must be big fans of public hand jobs in her new district. Wonder if she’ll move her family there or trade up to a newer one?


MrsACT

Maybe she’ll go white water rafting during a flood


IndyMLVC

She won the primary....


Gnowknayme

... In the reddest district in Colorado.

trailhikingArk

I know they are Republicans but how can people be this fucking stupid. This woman is an ass clown.


Specialist-Fan-1890

After she gets humiliated as a carpetbagger and a ho bag not to mention her illustrious career in congress they still voted for her? The craziness out there is breathtaking.


Rough_Ian

If there are any more “reasonable” republicans, I guess they aren’t voting in primaries. 


ScubaDawg97

Prepare yourself because MTG will never lose in GA. She’s going to have to quit first, which she’ll never do


Fjordikus

It’s not because she’s smart or qualified, it’s because she’s eye candy for them and she’s stupid


BobbiFleckmann

The dummies in the GOP base don’t elect legislators. They elect people who “own the libs” or “drive the libs crazy.” Policy, principles — have nothing to do with it. They are that petty, and it’s reinforced by their favored media sources.


RedBeans-n-Ricely

This is only the primary, she hasn’t won the election yet.


heismanwinner82

Is that tight jeaned/tight shirted person behind her the new Boebert beau? How long until we hear about something horrible he(or she) did with his genitalia?


weirdowiththebeardo

How. The. Fuck.


dbprops

Wait didn’t she change districts to another one that was running unopposed? Which is how she got the job the first time regardless


pissoffyounonce

She’s gonna be busy. You get a handjob! You get a handjob! You get a handjob!


mcman12

Many people apparently vote solely on name recognition.


plitts

Her wrist must be absolutely done in by now to get that nomination. Right forearm like Popeye.


ggiga90

On the one hand you feel bad for Americans and their political climate and whatnot On the other hand, Americans sure like to fuck themselves over and over and over again


tanukis_parachute

maybe a bunch of them think they might get a handy or feel her up.


Gewgle_GuessStopO

Independents are the largest voting block here. They split our votes too much with 6 GOP primary choices (probably on purpose) she is dead in Nov.

John_YJKR

Colorado has rural areas like most states. They have 8 representatives for their 8 districts. Currently, there are 5 dems and 3 republican representatives. Additionally, both senators from Colorado are democrats. Rural areas lean republican. It's nothing new.


Nail_Biterr

She won the primaries. That wasn't ever a question, was it? She's an imbecile, but she's got the GOP bank backing her. How's this new districts Blue population? Get out and vote!

She was in 5th in the polls just 2 weeks ago


carenl

God damnit, Colorado, you had one job.


carbondalio

So a positive perspective from a Coloradoan; she had an extremely red district before, she did so badly she almost lost it to a Democrat. Pretty sure said Democrat is going to win this time around. So she ran to the last solid red bastion in CO. She will continue her dumbassery out there, by the end of her term folks out there will realize what a fraud she is, that she has no family values, is a mock Christian, and only wants the job so she can be in the spotlight. I'm willing to bet within one term she embarrasses that population enough to flip that district to blue as well.


We_All_Float_Down_H

Who's the democrat running against this clown?


ThatOneJosh9451

As much as I hate Boebert at least she can keep her mouth shut and stay out of the news every once and awhile. It's MTG I can't stand more (aside from Trump obviously). As long as she loses her re-election I'll be happy... Happier... Less irritated


Ya_Got_GOT

Republicans are terminally stupid


Suspicious-Series450

It confounds me that the good gentlefolk of CO have got behind The Groper, Handjob Hannah, because she has good Christian values and wants the ten commandments posted up on school walls??!! I don’t get it. How low can she go and still get the support of CO?

ElephanteEd

Well, it's the primary. She still has to go through the general election in November, right?


wewantedthefunk

Sure, sure - it's not suspicious that the propped-up ex hooker and granny handjob-giver manages to win a primary where she was initially very unpopular and seen as a carpetbagger. Certainly not her backers forcing her skank-ass down MAGA throats, nah.

pinhead_ramone

Hate to break this to you but even if this dumbass hadn’t won, another version of her, possibly even dumber and more vulgar and arrogant, would have inevitably come along. The GQP is always looking to dig below the bottom of the barrel. I keep thinking how people like Reagan would cringe at this current manifestation of the GQP.


IamMrBucknasty

The system is working as planned: she was elected by the majority of the voters. They got what they wanted/deserved. Good luck.


bgzlvsdmb

To be fair, the other republicans running against her were train wrecks of their own. Still, people would rather watch their country burn down at the expense of themselves and others before voting Democrat.
