“...despite her absolute silence on the issues her constituents care about most. “

Is there a list of those?

This needs to happen everywhere.

We can’t keep re-electing Bush League Republicans and expecting them to not assist the Democrats.
That’s what they are, Assistant Democrats.

That’s Ministry of Propaganda lies, she has been pretty outspoken and that’s why people trust her.

ELECTION INTEGRITY!

Unfortunately, the "grass roots" forgot that you have to get elected before you can fix anything.

Turning off Colorado's 43% Unaffiliated voters before the Primary is NOT the way to win.

The key is to mention the importance of Election Integrity, but NOT make it the cornerstone of the campaign.

By ignoring Election Integrity they infuriated the grass roots.

I can live with this. I think the gun is too low for her arm length, but she has to do the drawing, not me.

That’s a nice looking family Lauren Boebert has:

Republican women are pretty. Democrat women look like Rosa DeLauro, Patty Murray, Dianne Feinstein, Hillary, Zoe Lofgren, Maxine Waters (ugh!), ...

“Is her seat still safe? (redistricting)”

The new district is, in Charlie Cook’s notation, R+8.

It was R+6 in 2020 so redistricting made it slightly better for her but R+8 is hardly “safe”. Nancy Pelosi’s D+26 district is safe; this one isn’t.

Even if this district was R+50 it still wouldn’t be safe for Boebert. Democrats are already organizing a dirty-tricks campaign in which Democrats will cross over (a la “Operation Chaos” in large numbers and vote in the Republican primary for Boebert’s opponent, Don Coram. Liberals can live with a presumable squish like Coram winning in November, as long they win big in the primary by ousting an outspoken conservative.

Not all Democrat dirty tricks work and the probability of this succeeding is low, but it’s far from impossible.

Actually, that location is almost perfect for her; just about relaxed arm length and the holster will be well out of the way for a fast draw.

Good analysis, and correct. Boebert is safish, however, she needs all of us to turn out.

I can see that but too many times I have had “coworkers” who had their holster at fingertip on handle length. The lean to draw actually took time and slowed them down. I always kept mine at palm length and as soon as the tip was free I was swiveling and firing.

The first shot was sometimes a miss, but it made the other guy think about something else, giving me time to get my site picture.

On the range I was already in the direction of the silhouette and seldom, if ever, missed the target on the first or second shot.

I would rather have my palm solidly on the pistol rather than reaching with my fingertips.
