Boebert had switched districts after Buck announced his impending retirement to avoid a stiff challenge from Democrat Adam Frisch in the 3rd district, but Buck’s immediate departure will set up a special election in which the state Republican and Democratic parties will choose a nominee – and there’s no guarantee they’ll pick the controversial Boebert.

Further complicating matters, Boebert would have to resign her seat in the 3rd district to run in that special election because Colorado law prohibits a candidate from running for more than one office at a time, and her resignation would set up yet another U.S. House special election before the end of the year.

    I have no fucking clue how there aren’t three or four of them who are tired of the puerile corruption. There isn’t even one. They are all white supremacist fascists colluding to destroy the country for profit.

      Yep, there were a couple in the Jan 6th committee that fell on their swords, but they never tried to actually start a counter movement to take the party back.
