Lauren Boebert’s sketchy re-election plan is already blowing up in her face
Even though anti-LGBTQ+ Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) recently decided to run for re-election in a different district to increase her chances of success, her plan is already backfiring. In fact, she might not even end up on the ballot.
Boebert switched her re-election campaign from Colorado’s Third District (where many expected her to lose) to the state’s Fourth District. But for her name to appear on the June 25 Republican primary ballot, she needs to collect 1,500 signatures of district residents and win at least 10% of support from the delegates at the Republican party’s biennial convention, according to the left-leaning political website Crooks and Liars.
Even if Boebert collects the 1,500 required signatures by the March 19 deadline, she’ll still need to win over delegates in a district where she has been a relative stranger. Collecting signatures can be a costly process, and the signatures can be tossed out if they’re successfully challenged under a fraud claim.
Furthermore, even if she makes the ballot in the heavily Republican district, Boebert will be joining an already crowded field of seven other candidates, including state House Minority Leader Mike Lynch (R) — and all of them will spend the primary trashing Boebert over her headline-grabbing misbehavior.
That article's author knew exactly what they were writing.
Seems they didn't want to jerk us around ..or did they?😏
It's incredible what can be done with the stroke of a pen.
Oh come on
It’s not that hard when you have the wits
At least not as hard as when you have the tits.
yeah, this really blew up in her face
don't insult the intelligence of blow up dolls...
I was actually surprised I didn't see a bukakke joke first thing in the thread.
Is there a pun beyond "grabbing" that I'm missing? This is the Nazi lady with a history in porn, right?
Google "Boebert and Beetlejuice" and you'll learn more about the Congresswoman you wish you didn't.
Ugh, thank you... I guess. The vaping while in the audience watching a theater show isn't even the worst part of it, huh.
Definitely not.
This will never not be funny to me, the way ( R ) gets translated to Registered Trademark.
Unfortunately she's not a nobody, she's been all over the news for years and she's a household name for both parties at this point. Even though she hasn't been part of that district I guarantee every one of the voters have heard her name and since it's a heavily right leaning district it's a toss up as to how they feel about her.
Yes, she's had a few scandalous news stories about her but that's far from a deal breaker for Republican voters, but she's been a hardcore MAGA nut job the entire time and Republican voters absolutely love that shit.
She had to change districts due to electability reasons, which isn't a good look for her. She is also going against a state Republican in the primary with deep political connections.
I can see the primary going bad for her, especially if Trump is off the ballot.
I mean whoever she ends up running against in the primaries (or general) will have a field day with "she represented her district so poorly she had to change to ours".
Let's hope, but the 2016 election taught me a hard lesson about counting chickens before they're hatched. I don't think I'll ever consider any outcome a sure thing again regardless of the odds.
The fact she's known on a national stage could work against her tho.
Fuck that white trash anyways.
Boebert's gonna need to bring some lotion.
Is that a burn or a handjob joke? :)
Suffice to say, might not be the only thing blowing in her face
She can always get into porn if the whole… whatever it is that she does–thing doesn’t work out.
The look on Claire McCaskell's face when that was suggested a year ago
Well . . . Yeah. The CO republiQan voters are verifiable shit-for-brains idiots. It’s delusional to think otherwise, and that’s why I don’t think State Rep. Richard Holtorf is being anything but hypocritical here. He knows all too well what drooling, fox-news-mainlining, pinheaded chowderheads his voters are, and how they’ll fall for any fucking flag-waving bullshit like BoeBoe.
"Judge shopping, however, we're totally cool with."
It seems as every time there is a news article about her they use a picture with her mouth open.
I think they're trying to imply that a lot of things have blown up in her face.

Holy cow I had no idea. That's quite the person to run against. Is he the incumbent?
No Ken Buck holds the seat and is retiring
Why is mike lynch, who I assume already has a district, running there?
He is a state house rep, no a national house rep
He has a seat in the Colorado state House, and is running for a seat in the US House.
if only her car or microwave would take a hint and do the same
Lowrent Bimbot strikes out again.
turns out that running around giving handies at kids' shows while yelling transphobic slurs at anyone who will listen is no way to run for office.
I wonder if she'll go back to being an escort?
The number of misogyny in this thread is too damn high.
