Boebert still has to win the general. Sounds like that's not a given.
Don't be like that. This is a legitimate response to the tenor of this forum for the past two years. "The Cult." AOC. The Progressive cancer. Etc.
You should have started this thread earlier as opposed to trying to defend Hickory.
There are significant proxy fights between the DSA and pro-Israel groups (primarily Solidarity PAC)…In the NY assembly.
The demographics are completely different than rural Colorado
I mentioned in another thread that McM started that this race was a good barometer for the overreach and defeat of the progressive left. I didn't start this thread because the results weren't in yet.
Since the other thread was locked, I’ll say my piece here and then leave it alone.
I wasn’t necessarily defending Dan. I recognize he can be an ass. I was just stating my opinion that he’s not the worst this forum has to offer.
Also, I tend to like the moderation on this forum to be lighter rather than heavier. On ANY forum actually. I think that’s the better course. There’s an ignore function for a reason and heavy handed moderation is inevitably seen as unfair to one side or the other.
I may be in the minority, but I don’t think the moderation on this forum is all that bad.
Now, everybody SHUT THE F**K UP!!!
I didn't lock that thread. But I did unlock it, so feel free to go back to it.
I agree that lighter is better. I don't think that should be the case, but history suggests it is. So we live with what we live with.
I do not think DANC is the worst poster ever. I just don't think anyone can reasonably demand a higher level of posting here while also defending him.
I’m out for the night…hopefully you get some decent conversation about the changes occurring in NY.
I applaud these Dems for grabbing sanity back. Hopefully we see more of this. If there were, my guess is this election wouldn't be as close as the last time.
On the flip side, Boebert may have won, but it's amongst a bunch of white (67%+) mountain men, so not that surprising.
No mountains in that district. More like Kansas.
Leave my girl alone. So hot:
Is there one of the action with the popcorn container?
She changed districts, remember? She's now in the far eastern, rural district which is mainly all flat ass ranch land
I'm sure somewhere. That was the first I found. And I find it weirdly alluring when a woman blows out smoke.
Excluding incumbents winning routine nomination, Trump’s candidates lost 2 of 3 races last night (Boebert, Burns, Williams). Trump didn’t endorse in CO-3, but they nominated the candidate who didn’t vote for Trump in either 2016 or 2020 and won’t commit to voting for him this year instead of the crazy candidate who Dems spent half a million to prop up.
Obviously this isn’t going to repeat itself on every primary night, but the primary voting (even the numbers in the uncontested presidential contests in the late states) keeps showing that Trump has more intra-party skeptics than Biden, even though both have the support of most of their party’s base voters.
Hating on Israel ain’t going to be a recipe for winning
It wasn’t even that close, she won it handily..Leave my girl alone. So hot:
That plus the strongly conservative Douglas county between Colorado Springs and Denver, Greeley, and Loveland in Larimer County. The redistricting commission packed CD 4 with Republican urban areas in order to keep them out of other urban districts which lean Democrat.
Boebert has a job for life.
Oh FFS, how can I keep track of all of these shenanigans? Politicians suck. She sucks even more in particular, in more ways than one.
Yes, Eastern CO is a desolate landscape. Basically Kansas.
i did not realize Boebert’s district was so massive. Geographically it’s like half the area of the state.
Bowman crossed a line you can’t cross, is all that happened. Being Anti-Israel in New York is really dumb if you’re trying to get re-elected.

I believe Kennedy won in UT-03 . He seems to have abandoned some of the rhetoric now that he’s no longer running against Romney. His campaign website uses the terms “civility,” “common sense,” “thoughtful conservative” and “more important than just grabbing headlines,” and has none of the “red flag meat” that the hardcore types like. I don’t think he’s planning on being a showhorse.
I didn’t follow the races at all, but looking at the numbers it seems like more of the same with Trump. Boebert and Crank won easily and the other was basically a dead heat. Trump definitely has a hard ceiling. I think the question is will Biden’s crappy 4 years be enough to motivate conservatives to show up and liberals to stay home.

Williams lost 2-1 but I think you are probably correct otherwise
Like so many other Democrats and Republicans, I think you over state the Trump influence. Solid and traditional GOP conservatives won the primaries where the GOP has numbers. There is one competitive seat, the others are all democratic.
Can she grow into the job? Hmmm. It’s happened before. Ted Kennedy was unqualified and had to cheat his way through college….but I think we can probably conclude that he was a bit smarter than Boebert
She has a flamboyant or maybe eccentric personality. I think that will modulate with age. I believe she has a GED, but I don’t think she is as stupid as some of her better credentialed colleagues in the house.
Cori Bush looks like she'll be the next to go. Goat has a point. The squad it getting gutted.
