https://www.mediaite.com/news/lauren-boebert-rages-at-selfish-ken-buck-for-rigging-her-reelection-bid-in-his-district/

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) fumed on Wednesday that Rep. Ken Bucks (R-CO) resignation next week will muddy her chances to stay in Congress, which she slammed as selfish on his part.

Buck, a hardline conservative who has become a thorn in the side of MAGA House Republicans, surprised the political establishment Tuesday by announcing he will retire at the end of next week. Buck had previously announced last November he would not seek reelection, a move that prompted Boebert to switch from CO-3 to Bucks CO-4 district.

Boebert has been plagued by scandal after scandal and nearly lost her reelection bid last cycle to the same Democrat challenging her again this year. Her move to CO-4, if she can win the June primary, would set her up in a much safer seat and give her a fresh start.

I mean, calling him selfish isn't really a meltdown.

Unless the pertinent information is in the link.

the thing is, 'doing nothing' is very intentional by Republicans. that way, they can later point out how woefully inefficient the government is when they try to privatize every piece of functionality it has

there is no "fresh start" for someone like her. I hope they get somebody sane in that seat

not going to hold my breath that it's going to be a non-rightwinger, but y'know, not a crazyperson would be a start

Because him leaving now instead of at the end of the year, means C4 will have to hold a special election to fill the vacancy, which she can't run in. So someone else will get the incumbency advantage.

She's a vote for the GOP, despite being otherwise a completely uselese idiot. That's all they need.

She's actually right, he is being a selfish twit by retiring because he can't stand being a Republican in Congress anymore. But she's saying it for her own selfish reasons and not because it just leaves the Republican caucus even more fucked up and stupid.

Is this other person as well known and talked about? Do people actually see special election winners as incumbents?

Yes, it does matter. If people know of Boebert and also see her as the technical incumbent she's will probably win over the no name winner of the special election.

You asked why people think this is bad for her. You got the answer. Just because you think she will be able to overcome the obvious disadvantage doesnt mean it ceases to be a disadvantage, or that it changes the answer.

Read the article. She is pissed about this. There is a reason why, and you have been told what the reason is. The fact that you think her prospects are better than what she is concerned about is irrelevant.

She's also a high school dropout who failed to get her GED multiple times, and married the man who flashed his genitalia at her and some friends while they were teenagers.

She's not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed.

And, you know, this is breaking news as of yesterday. Ken Bucks announcement yesterday was a gift to the uni-party. The establishment concocted a swampy backroom deal to try to rig an election. An election that Im winning by 25 points, forcing an unnecessary special election, when? The same day as the primary election in Colorado.

Bitch, you got 5th place in a straw poll held after your last debate in the district. You were already done.

Depends on the disadvantage. There's still arguments on whether the runner with prosthetic legs had an advantage or disadvantage.

Her prospects being better than portrayed is relevant.

I don't really enjoy any of the other topics on CE.

I voted uncommitted in the primary. It depends on whether I have free time to vote for my democratic senator and congressperson.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ken Buck did announce he was leaving early just to screw over Boebert. Not as some "uni-party" scheme with the democrats to take out a huge threat but out of spite as an FU to a carpetbagging attention seeker who no one in her party likes.

She'll write books about her time in Congress and about the swamp and then peddle those books on Fox, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, NewsNation, OANN, Newsmax, and Real Time, then probably become a premier guest on various shows like maybe subbing in for Jesse Waters or some shit now and then, basically do the Tulsi tours.

Politics is the greatest grift.

Said restaurant had a hygiene problem and gave people really bad diarrhea and had its license taken by the State. Which makes sense considering Boebert is trailer trash and probably has really bad hygiene, herself.
