It’s official: Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert (R) is scared. Recent polling has shown Democratic frontrunner Adam Frisch in the lead in Boebert’s district, and now the anti-LGBTQ+ Congresswoman is pleading with voters for help.

According to the Aspen Daily News, Boebert’s campaign sent three successive emails at the end of August that acknowledged the possibility of Boebert’s defeat.

The emails were reacting to the results of a Keating Research poll that showed Frish beating Boebert in the 2024 election to represent Colorado’s Third Congressional District.

The poll showed that 50% of likely voters in the district say they will vote for Frisch, who almost beat Boebert in 2022 in the purple district, and only 48% say they’re voting for Boebert. Frisch holds a bigger advantage – 17 points – when it comes to unaffiliated voters, the group that the Frisch campaign has said it’s trying to appeal to in this election cycle. He also has a 32-point advantage with Latin voters.

A majority – 53% – of likely voters in the survey had an unfavorable view of Boebert, and only 42% had a favorable view of her. 34% had a favorable view of Frisch, while 26% viewed him unfavorably.

Pretty dramatic headline for a 50/50 poll and a fundraising email.

    I have an old phone number that used to be owned by a conservative I know. I have been getting these over the top "IT'S ALL OVER AND YOU HAVEN'T HELPED, 5X MATCH NOW!!!!" texts pretty much every day of every election cycle for years now.

    Telling followers that the world is ending unless you give them your money donate to the campaign seems to be just the way they fundraise these days.

    Good. Let the bitch sink. If she also wastes donors money in the process, the better. Any cent wasted for her election fund is a cent that cannot be spent on Trumps lawyers.

    Dumb hate-obsessed freak. The sooner she vanishes permanently from the public eye the better.

    They always turn to the ‘true believers’ once the excitement and funding dwindles away.

    If she is really that hard up for cash why doesn't she just go back to being a prostitute?

    The thing that i find most fascinating about american politics is that they galavant around the country or their district and people take the time out of their life to go see them and give them money.
    But i guess if you don't find megachurches bizarre, this is normal too.

    I hope she does lose. I'd really like her to get wrecked, but unlikely considering how red a large portion of her district is from what I've heard/read. the sooner she fucks off to obscurity, the better.

    There are a couple of Republicans running against her in the primary, and they're far more qualified. Still assholes, but they seem to be able to read, so they're miles ahead of her. I wouldn't be surprised at all if she loses to one of them.

    Just like Lindsey Graham, she'll probably squeeze out another victory in her next election much to liberals' surprise

    Can't wait to see what happens to her. She's at that age where mental health disease really starts to manifest into dysfunction.

    Sometimes I remember the family guy sketch of jerry falwell and pat Robertson after the https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvjkDpEtKk The sentiment seems to apply to so many republican "angst" moments. "Why am I losing this campaign? I hated all the right things." At least it is how I imagine that they think about these things.
