It’s official: Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert ® is scared. Recent polling has shown Democratic frontrunner Adam Frisch in the lead in Boebert’s district, and now the anti-LGBTQ+ Congresswoman is pleading with voters for help.
According to the Aspen Daily News, Boebert’s campaign sent three successive emails at the end of August that acknowledged the possibility of Boebert’s defeat.
…
The emails were reacting to the results of a Keating Research poll that showed Frish beating Boebert in the 2024 election to represent Colorado’s Third Congressional District.
The poll showed that 50% of likely voters in the district say they will vote for Frisch, who almost beat Boebert in 2022 in the purple district, and only 48% say they’re voting for Boebert. Frisch holds a bigger advantage – 17 points – when it comes to unaffiliated voters, the group that the Frisch campaign has said it’s trying to appeal to in this election cycle. He also has a 32-point advantage with Latin voters.
A majority – 53% – of likely voters in the survey had an unfavorable view of Boebert, and only 42% had a favorable view of her. 34% had a favorable view of Frisch, while 26% viewed him unfavorably.
Pretty dramatic headline for a 50/50 poll and a fundraising email.
I have an old phone number that used to be owned by a conservative I know. I have been getting these over the top “IT’S ALL OVER AND YOU HAVEN’T HELPED, 5X MATCH NOW!!!” texts pretty much every day of every election cycle for years now.
Telling followers that the world is ending unless you
give them your moneydonate to the campaign seems to be just the way they fundraise these days.To be fair, I get emails from Nancy Pelosi literally every day about Trump and asking for donations. I’m not sure why I haven’t unsubscribed…that shit is annoying.
you’ll just get subscribed to other campaigns all the time anyway because those motherfuckers share/sell your information to each other.
Seriously. Never give ANY politician your email if you don’t want a flood of emails asking for donations.
Their base is addicted to fear.

Yeah, I think that’s to be expected from a site with that slant
A politician asking people to donate and vote for them? This is sooooo desperate.
Don’t show up of you liked them, it’s already done and over with. There’s nothing that can be done.
The wording is a little strange but it seems like that’s the voters who belong to a party and that he has a 17 point lead with independents. Wish they’d just have simple bar graphs or something when they talk poll numbers…
FUCKING THANK YOU!
What a nothing burger of an article.
Jesus Fucking Christ on a goddamned pogo stick, how can anyone have a favorable view of Boebert?
They. don’t. care. There’s a (R) next to her name, she hates “woke” people (wink wink) and abortion, she loves Trump and gun proliferation. That’s literally all that matters.

That’s pretty normal with how our electoral system is set up. I know a lot of people who have an unfavorable view of Biden, but they’ll certainly vote for him in the general.
There’s an ® next to her name, she’s very attractive, and boy does she love her gunz.
That’s enough for 95% of Republicans.

Nah. Butterattitude.
Granted, she’s got the pointy chin and a look on her face like she hasn’t had a good stiff dick in years. But overall I doubt very many people would complain about waking up in the morning next to someone that otherwise looks exactly like her. She’s not a bad looking woman by any stretch of the imagination.
It’s just that all of that evaporates the minute she opens her mouth, because she physically cannot speak without coming off like a holier-than-thou, entitled cunt of a human being and instantly negating the benefits of being physically attractive.
She’s got that weak chin game on lock.
She’s a fucking train wreck.
I drive through her district once a year to get the best peaches in the world and it’s always so confounding to see all the “Boebert Country” signs and stickers. It really is weird. Far from being embarrassed, these people actually like her. If it weren’t for Pitkin County, she’d win in a walk.

I mean, that’s the same reasoning I use to vote Democrat, but my definition of “evil” is based on demonstrable facts, instead of the facial expressions made in a “Tucker Reacts To Hypothetical Scenario” video.
Well she does have that fancy schmancy R next to her name. I’m a simple man, some may confuse my level of brain activity with that of a dead man, but when I vote that’s usually all I pay attention to
If you truly do only vote via party line, you really do have the same brain activity as a dead man. That’s dumb as fuck.
OF incoming.
36-year-old GILFs in your area!
I was going to say I was thankful she wasn’t actually in my area, then I remembered who my representative is and honestly don’t know if she’s worse than Gym Jordan or not
He’s more dangerous, being evil and not as fucking stupid.
Wait…. She’s. Grandma already? Awkward.
And her mom is a great grandma at the age of 56
Are… are you surprised?
Not really. Well not that both her and her son are teenage parents.
You’d think she’d have taught her son to use a condom.

Blacked would probably be willing to give her some work.
42% favorable.
Why? Wtf is wrong with people?
Stupid people want representation too!
Dumb hate-obsessed freak. The sooner she vanishes permanently from the public eye the better.
She’s going to be a commentator on one of the shitty outrage porn “news” channels after her political career ends a’la Palin
Came to say this. She’s a brand now, like Palin. My hope is that once she leaves office she’ll suck donations from the regular GOP and keep it in her own hands.
Woman who does nothing and gets paid is worried she will soon do nothing and not get paid
She does some performative acts to spout propaganda and lies to stir outrage. So while more than nothing not by much and not exactly what reps are supposed to be doing in a well functioning democracy. Hopefully the voters will be swayed enough to get her out.
Wasn’t she also the one who submitted mileage expenses that didn’t seem plausible? I sort of forget exactly what she vs the other troll (by actions) in the house did, neither seem to want to help the country.
Good. Let the bitch sink. If she also wastes donors money in the process, the better. Any cent wasted for her election fund is a cent that cannot be spent on Trumps lawyers.
What about your own bootstraps honey?
They always turn to the ‘true believers’ once the excitement and funding dwindles away.
If she is really that hard up for cash why doesn’t she just go back to being a prostitute?
Don’t worry, she’ll end up on Fox.
Eh she doesn’t have the charisma or ability to hold an audience. She might show up as a commentator from time to time but it will 100 percent be filler when someone better suited bails at the last minute.
Charisma of a wet fart.
Just ask yourself, would you rather watch Fox News or be force fed a wet fart that bubbles up all the way through the crack?
She’ll fit in fine, unfortunately.
My point is, she can’t string a sentence together to form a cogent thought. You need to be able to at least do that
She is a politician… kinda the same thing more often than not.
I hope she does lose. I’d really like her to get wrecked, but unlikely considering how red a large portion of her district is from what I’ve heard/read. the sooner she fucks off to obscurity, the better.
There are a couple of Republicans running against her in the primary, and they’re far more qualified. Still assholes, but they seem to be able to read, so they’re miles ahead of her. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if she loses to one of them.
Her local home town population HATES her, even the Republicans. They made sure her restaurant went out of business (now a Mexican restaurant) and they’re running other Republicans against her.
I haven’t heard that, but since she hasn’t done ANYTHING since being in office, so it makes sense that they’d hate her.
Other than making sure to embarrass herself on camera a few times, that is.
Hadn’t done anything a normal Congressperson does, as in passing bills to do anything.
That’s good to hear. Hopefully she loses big time and whomever replaces her isn’t such a piece of shit.
Just like Lindsey Graham, she’ll probably squeeze out another victory in her next election much to liberals’ surprise
She was the closest race in the entire midterm.
Please, CO-3, get out and vote, for our collective sanity
Yeah pretty much standard copy for all political campaigns.
I know, this isn’t a news item. Its a We’re in trouble at the polls GANKSY, only 24 hours to protect freedom!
The thing that i find most fascinating about american politics is that they galavant around the country or their district and people take the time out of their life to go see them and give them money.
But i guess if you don’t find megachurches bizarre, this is normal too.Or streamers.
Why wouldn’t you want to see/meet the person who you choose to represent you?
Na na naaaah nah, na na naaaaaah nah, hey hey heeeyyy, goooodbyeeee
