  1. It hardly matters. Colorado 4 is simply too despicable to not elect her. They deliberately chose her instead of several other candidates who almost certainly would not have been as useless and bad as her.

  2. WhatsRatingsPrecious on

    She blew it. She paid real lip service to the idea of debate prep. She wasn’t very handy at her job. It wasn’t much of a master stroke on her part. I suppose her oral efforts weren’t up to the job. It really blew up in her facial.

  3. The sad thing is that she’ll still get votes simply because she is a Republican, and people will stay loyal to that party regardless of how ridiculous the candidate is.

    >[Calvarese posted a statement to X (formerly Twitter) after the debate, which was held Tuesday afternoon in Littleton, Colorado, calling out Boebert for “disrespecting veterans,” opposing lower prices for prescription drugs, and skipping critical votes.](https://archive.ph/Z8BWw

    Boebert: They told me all I had to do in the House was push the No button when told to vote and I would succeed.

    >Calvarese also attacked **Boebert for voting against the PACT Act,** which expanded benefits and **health services to military veterans** who were exposed to toxic substances, particularly from burn pits, during their service.

  6. Boebert has a reputation as a master debater, so I was expecting her performance to have a more happy ending.

  7. LittleBallOfWait on

    >“I debate Democrats on a daily basis,” Boebert said. “It is my job.”

    Most people get better at something if they do it every day.

  8. Goes to show the double standards between right and left.

    The left bombs a debate? Step down!

    The right bombs a debate? Ehh, good enough.

    People need to start voting for the party that is held to a higher standard. Not the one that constantly needs a handicap.

  9. Of course she did, she’s extremely stupid after all. I’m a teacher and I know 12-year-olds that could win debates against her. Hell, I know 9-year-olds that could win debates against her, and I’d lay even odds on some of my 6 and 7 year olds too.

    > “I debate Democrats on a daily basis,” Boebert said. “It is my job.”

    No, Bobo, that’s not your job. Your job is to implement policy that will benefit the lives of everyday Americans. The fact that you don’t realize that is what makes you so profoundly unsuited to being an elected representative for the people of Colorado.

  11. >Tuesday’s debate was the only one scheduled between the two candidates, and it was held at a country club with an entry fee and not televised.

    Wow, what’s the ducking point, lol…

  12. It isn’t going to matter. She switched districts because a MAGA corpse could run in that district and still win due to the lack of education in that district.

  13. Dapper-Membership on

    Can’t say I’m surprised; she’s typically full of memorized one liners and “gotcha” type stuff. How she and MtG have been re-elected (or even elected in the first place) baffles me.

  14. It says a lot about the ugly people in Boebert’s district and their shit morals voting for her.
