On Saturday, the Associated Press quoted a Republican strategist and former lawmaker from Western Colorado who suspects Rep. Lauren Boebert may soon wear out her welcome with voters in the area — even the sort of white, rural voters who have swung sharply to the right in the Trump era.

"There are very real limits to that shtick in rural Colorado, which is why she only won with 51 percent," said the strategist, Josh Penry. "When the sizzle wears off, there are big blocs of voters who will be totally up for grabs and will want to know that their congresswoman is trying to be part of the solution in between cable news show hits."

Prior to her election, Boebert was a businesswoman famous for running a restaurant where the servers open carry. She has drawn outrage for speaking positively of the QAnon movement (though she denies ever having been a part of it), trying to overturn the results of the election, live-tweeting the location of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) during the invasion of the Capitol, and being caught up in an ethics scandal over how much money she has taken from her campaign for travel.

8. Hell, I've got a recall ballot for a school board member sitting in front of me right now.

A liberal had the temerity to speak his mind on FB, and they're not standing for it here in Cortez. Hypocrites, the lot of 'em.

9. She more than likely will have campaign finance issues it was being mentioned that

she may have fudged the books to pay off some liens with her campaign finance funds on her restaurants..........if true she is in a heap of trouble..........

15. The CO Constitution doesn't seem to allow recall of federal officials.

It only has provisions for state officials.

In fact, the prevailing opinion is that states or districts don't have the authority, though it's never been ruled on by the SC.

6. Wondering what all this will leave her with her business.

She apparently used the illicitly obtained travel reimbursement to pay bills in arears. Be a shame if something happened to it...

7. I hope so.. I want her Lying trump mouth

gone.

10. I live in this district

It has a long history of throwing out Representatives as soon as they establish any power in DC. The Republican she replaced, Scott Tipton, had gained such recognition and was starting to bring home the bacon, so to speak. While I opposed his conservative stand, I had to give it to him for numerous projects he make happen in this remote corner of the country, including the establishment of protected areas.
The game in the house is to establish seniority. Once you get a Rep in place it little matters which side of the plate he bats on.
The people of this district are woefully ignorant and have always thrown the baby out with the bath water. They live in a perpetual state of mental poverty and do not know real success requires a change of mind.
And, yes, they will throw out little Annie Oakley. It is the nature of the voters out here.

18. I'm laughing my ass off

Your line:

"...They live in a perpetual state of mental poverty..."

Oh, man, that is a keeper.

11. High School drop out Boebert is full of crap

Sorry but even her name sounds clownish. I think of Lorena Bobbitt every time I hear it. Anyone else remember her?

[turbinetree]

12. Didn't she like knives and playing doctor

[ChubbyStar]

13. She played operation on Hub's penis

Great gal!

[turbinetree]

14. She made her point and now she is a working in "real estate"............

[smirkymonkey]

16. It's funny, but that name does always come up on my radar everytime I think of her.

They are both insane. I have a hard time separating the two.

[obamanut2012]

21. One is an abuse victim who was sexually, mentally, financially, and physically tirtured

By her soociopathic spouse, and whom the media lied about, and one is a sociopathic abuser who is a RWNJ Congresswoman.

Yes, so easy to confuse the two.

And calling Lorena Bobbitt insane is really appalling for someone on this board.

Watch Jordan Peele's four-part series, Lorena, on Amazon for what actually happened.

[smirkymonkey]

23. Sorry. I had no idea.

I apologize for comparing the two. I didn't know the reality of Lorena Bobbitt's life. My bad.

17. $22,000 in "milage"

"ethics scandal over how much money she has taken from her campaign for travel"

Wtf? She was caught red-handed taking money from her campaign to pay her business debts.

Claimed $20k for "milage" .. which at the allowed rate would have meant driving 39,000 miles.

This idiot and her campaign treasurer both need to be in jail for this.

20. You Mean She Didn't Drive...

...from CO to DC 10 times in a month? I'm shocked this isn't legitimate mileage reimbursement!
