    Boebert's switch to the 4th district is her last ditch effort remain relevant and in the big politic money train. Third district voters have soured on her for many reasons, and the absurd scene she made at the Denver Performing Arts Center was the last straw. One of many like it, she demonstrated that she's an arrogant brat, high on her self importance and flush with bucks after her marriage and divorce from a hard working man and father of her children. She was certain to lose her seat to Aspen leftist, Adam Frisch.

    As for her chances in the 4th congressional district primary, I give her 50-50 if the GOP field pares down to give Jerry Sonnenberg a fair shot. If it were Sonnenberg alone, she would lose the primary, solidly, IMO.

    The GOP favorite in the 3rd district is Jeff Hurd, a respected Grand Junction attorney, active in the party. https://jeffhurdforcolorado.com/

    Dem Adam Frisch now has wide name recognition. If Jeff Hurd can get enough campaign funding to develop name recognition, I think he has a strong chance to prevail.

    She's simply a younger and more stacked version of Sara Palin--pure WT, married to WT, and producing WT.

    I'll start with the usual "I have an equal distain for both parties" qualifier.

    Now, what is the right side of the isle bringing? I get that politics, currently, is very incendiary but is there no cream rising to the top?

    I have no answers, only questions. My new home is just as fawked up in many ways but maybe less so.

    Is it just me or is Bobert just a better-looking version of Mayim Bialik?

    I am moving towards the opinion that if somebody wants to be in a political position, we don't want them in a political position.

    Perhaps we should move towards a sort of jury duty type appointment for everything from school boards, city councils, state representatives, even Congress? Once a minimum level of qualification is met, citizens serve their term and that's it. No self-promoting, wanna-be career politicians with activist driven agendas.

    Can we require an IQ test to go with the potential appointments? There's a whole lotta stupid out there I'd prefer to never see in political/government positions again.
