😂 So Frisch will probably get her old district and another Democrat will probably get the "traditionally conservative" stronghold she tried to flee to? Really Lauren, I can almost forgive your endless asshattery and the mockery you've made of your own position in our government for this.

Yeah, I was about to say didn't she already move to a "safe" district?
She can be like a Dem Johnny Appleseed, just keep running in the most conservative CO districts till they all flip blue.

Someone get on this with photoshop or stable diffusion!
What if she's a double agent for the democratic party? An antifa plant meant to flip republican seats for the coming of the second anti-christ after Donald Trump defeated Hillary.
No, neither candidate has won their primary yet, as the article.makes clear.
To secure the Republican nomination for Colorado's 4th District in November Boebert will have to defeat state representatives Mike Lynch and Richard Holtorf, ex-state senator Jerry Sonnenberg, business owner Peter Yu and former talk radio presenter Deborah Flore. For the Democratic nomination McCorkle is running against engineer John Padora and ex-speechwriter Trisha Calvarese, who will also contest the special election in June.
The Republican debate was last night. It was a bit of a shitshow, about zero policy talk. Mostly character attacks against Boebert.
Does it happen often, other than by a presidential tier candidate, that one single representative tier politician makes multiple districts flip?
The Republican bench is getting weirder with every cycle, as normal people no longer consider the job particular prestigious or even that lucrative. Its very possible for Dems to lose the Presidency, hold the Senate, and retake the House as the dark red gerrymandered seats attract people too weird even for the GOP base vote.
Crazy timing. Just the other day I was asking bobo how she felt being 14 points behind. She just squirted more lube into her hand and said "dont be silly".
I can tell you're lying because she likes it dry and over the pants.
Used to call that a Levi's special back in college
Too bad she wouldn't know a thing about college though.
Probably didn't stop her from being some fraternity's favorite invite to parties
She better get those hands busy
Careful! If you say busy hands 3 times she shows up and it doesn’t matter where you are she does what you called her for.
I wish this was true. I'd use this to prevent her from ever voting in Congress again with the added bonus of getting a bunch of hand jobs.
I dunno...
Waiting for her OnlyFans
As a resident of CO-4, I am withholding judgement until I get my complimentary handjob.
When Republicans nominate their people, they're not nominating their best
Yeah, actually I think they are.
As a resident of CO-3, godspeed, she's your problem now.
One extra grit, western style reach around coming up!
Oh no
Glad she is so behind.
She sees it as handy.
Please make certain you are registered to vote.
So long as those people stay consistent and 1 in 5 undecided voters fall to McCorkle Bobert loses.
Good.
I'd vote for the guy just for his name. Ike McCorkle sounds like a character from ~~Ren & Stimpy~~ Pete and Pete and I love it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
House Republican Lauren Boebert is polling 14 points behind potential Democratic rival Ike McCorkle in a hypothetic matchup for Colorado's 4th Congressional District according to a survey conducted on behalf of his campaign.
Boebert said she made the move seeking a "fresh start" after a "pretty difficult year for me and my family," but critics argued she was worried about losing to Democrat Adam Frisch—who she narrowly beat by around 500 votes in November 2022.
The survey McCorkle commissioned was of 423 likely voters in Colorado's 4th District, conducted by Gravis Marketing from May 22-May 24 both online and by text.
To secure the Republican nomination for Colorado's 4th District in November Boebert will have to defeat state representatives Mike Lynch and Richard Holtorf, ex-state senator Jerry Sonnenberg, business owner Peter Yu and former talk radio presenter Deborah Flore.
For the Democratic nomination McCorkle is running against engineer John Padora and ex-speechwriter Trisha Calvarese, who will also contest the special election in June.
Boebert has a long history of courting controversy and in September 2023 was asked to leave a performance of the Beetlejuice musical in Denver along with a male companion after becoming disruptive.
