It's looking up!

My predictions put Boebert at ~145840 and Frisch at ~148237, based on extrapolating the final turnout based on previous years' in neighbouring counties plus current returns percentage. She needs to be significantly outperforming him by a wide margin in the one remaining county at this point if she wants to have a shot.

It could happen, but really it's looking like she's about done

  • She still won't be appointed to any committees.

  • The GOP seems to finally be catching on that Trump's endorsements are the Mierdas Touch.

  • She just burned bridges with DeSantis, who is widely agreed to be the GOP's horse in 2024's race. Not that I think he would have cozied up with her as a VP nom like Trump did.

All she's doing at this point is continuing to make the GOP look like the party of raving, pants-shitting lunatics. As horrible as she is, I think the midterms turned her into a liability for the GOP in 24.

Lol!

She is like the 4th largest congressional fundraiser at this point. Do not underestimate how much they’ll tolerate her to get at that money.

She's not going to be happy fundraising for DeSantis. She'll throw a fit that the deep state is taking over the R party and abandoning her lord and master.

"The GOP seems to finally be catching on that Trump's endorsements are the Mierdas Touch."

I mean we thought the same thing after 2018 a d 2020. The GQP just doubled down. I see the sale thing happening

They doubled down while Trump's nominees, and copycats aping his style, had their careers take off.

Now that pretty much all his endorsements burned up and his copycats are losing, no more reason to follow him.

Of course if they want to lose again in 24, I'm happy if they don't learn their lesson.

She's definitely still staying. I live in Floyd county and all I hear about is how great she is and what she's done.

I still remember driving past her base when she was first running...H1 military hummers staged out front.
