Lauren Boebert Begs For Help After Admitting Her Campaign Is Dying

Republican Representative Lauren Boebert is not doing well in the polls, and apparently she's not doing so great with fundraising, either. In a series of desperate emails to supporters, Boebert's campaign implored people to open their hearts (and wallets) for the embattled Congresswoman or else she could be looking at being a two-term hasbeen. But the truth is that Boebert has given her supporters no reason to keep sending her back to Congress, as Farron Cousins explains.

To hear the story from Lauren Bert's campaign, they are not doing well, and not just in the polling issue, which we talked about. The recent poll that shows her democratic opponent, Adam Frisch, beating her by two percentage points. And of course, last year in that midterm race, Fri only lost to her by about 550 votes. So yeah, this is gonna be a tight race for Lauren Bobert. And at the end of August, her campaign was forced to send out three successive desperate emails begging people to please for the love of God save us because we are not doing well. Here's a little bit from the emails. First one said, if we don't turn things around quickly, we could lose this seat to the Democrats, another one said, I can't believe I'm saying those words, but I need you to understand how dire this situation is. And then there was another email, the third one that was sent by, uh, Kellyann Conway of all people who I guess is now helping Bobert and Conway stated that she was being pummeled. So l Bobert is being pummeled by her democratic opponent. And yet another email said, if the election were held today, Lauren would lose.

Now I would love to believe this. And of course I do believe the poll right now. Obviously Lauren Bobert has huge unfavorable numbers in her district as recently, or excuse me, as early in her second term as this past January, there were interviews with her own constituents, Republican voters who said that in January they were already sick of her. Like she, she went back, we sent her back, we gave her a second chance, and she's done nothing but this performance art. And of course, they were referring to the battle taking place for house speaker at the time where Bobert was one of the people obstructing it, not letting Kevin McCarthy get his job. So she's already off Republicans and Fris has a lead of, uh, where is it? 17 points among unaffiliated voters in that district. So he's winning the swing voters like by a huge margin. And based on this email, Lauren Bobert is also running outta money. But here's the catch folks, this is kind of how campaign emails work.

You tell your closest supporters, people who've given you money in the past, like, things are bad. If you do not help me, things are gonna get worse. I have to have your help. I mean, you see it all the time. I'm on all kinds of stupid fundraising email lists that I swear I never signed up for, but I get the text messages all the time, and these are from Democrats, like, oh my God, things are bad. You gotta gimme money because nobody's gonna respond to an email by opening up their checking account. If the email says like, Hey, I am kicking. Did you guys see these polls? Man, I'm in a cruise to

An easy victory. I got so much money behind me that, uh, I would like a little more though. So if you could give me like, nobody's gonna read that e email and be like, oh yeah, okay, I give you money. No, that's not how it works. So when your emails, when you're campaign fundraising, you have to sound desperate. You have to sound like things are dire and you have to make it seem like the individual reading that email has the power to turn things around. You are empowering the people to change the situation. You're making them feel like they can accomplish something. So it is a bit of a psychological trick there. So the question is, is Bert's campaign really in dire straits as they say, or is this just another clever campaign fundraising tactic? Well, we'll find out when she releases her next financial statement. And if her numbers, uh, money numbers continue to drop, then yeah, I think it's safe to assume that these emails were not hyperbole, but if it looks like she's raising a ton of money and those poll numbers flip, then yeah, it was all a big grift just trying to get a couple more dollars and we'll have to wait and see another month or so before those numbers come out.
