Lauren Boebert Is Getting Crushed By Her Democratic Challenger

Republican Representative Lauren Boebert barely won re-election last year, eeking out a victory of just 546 votes. And things are already going very badly for her in next year's race. Boebert is facing the same Democratic challenger - Adam Frisch - and his recent campaign finance report shows that he raised THREE TIMES as much as Boebert in the last quarter. But things are not always as they seem, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Lauren Bobert is in very bad shape as she heads towards her reelection race next year as her Democratic challenger. Uh, Adam Fris has for the second quarter in a row out raised her by astronomical margins. This past quarter, the second quarter of 2023, Adam Fresh raised roughly three times more money than Lauren Bobert. And let's not forget that in 2022, right last November, Fris was Bert's Democratic challenger and only lost by 546 votes, 546 votes. It was less than half a percentage point between the two candidates. So Frish came closer than anyone could have imagined to beating Lauren Bobert. And right now in the money game, he is absolutely demolishing her. Uh, Frisch's campaign reported bringing in 2.6 million from April through June, which is more than Triple Bert's, roughly $818,000. It's the second quarter in a row. Frish out raised Bobert. He raised 1.7 million in the first quarter while Bobert reportedly brought in around 764,000.

So he only lost by 546 votes. He's out raising her to the tune of millions of dollars for this one seat in Colorado. Things are looking up, right? If you were to base it on that, especially the Poles right now, show the two once again neck and neck, you would think hell yeah, fresh has it because he is got the fundraising edge. Cool. Your Jets folks, cuz things aren't always what they seem. Unfortunately, as I've talked about with the Ted Cruz race, you know, not just the one coming up next year, but from 2018, the race between Mitch McConnell and Amy McGrath, the uh, race between Graham and Booker out of state money in these state races in these district races means nothing. Unfortunately, we do not right now have the numbers for Adam Fresh to see what he has raised in the district versus the money that he's raised out of the district.

Because if the bulk of his money that he has raised is coming from not the people who vote for him, then it doesn't matter, right? Yeah, it'll help you buy more ads. But at the end of the day, the people who gave you the money, the people who support you, if they don't live in your district and can't vote for you, their support doesn't matter at all. Sorry, but it doesn't. Now I want Adam Frish to win. I want Lauren Bobert to go away for good. I don't want to ever have to talk about her again. So I'm hoping these numbers are real. I'm hoping the people giving Adam Fresh money are within that district. Yes, it's okay to get some out-of-state money to help bolster things, but he needs the support of the people in that district, okay? That's where the messaging needs to be centered.

That's what needs to be happening right now. Because if he can do that, he can pull off the major upset that all of us want to see happen. Now, typically, I've said this in the past, especially regarding this race, typically I am against two candidates running against each other again when one of them already lost. But because the margin was so razor thin, I make an exception for this race and I'm good with Frish being the candidate. I think he has what it takes to do it, especially because Lauren Bert's own constituents reports all through this year have shown that they're sick and tired of her already in her second term. Yeah, we voted for her a second time, but now we're off cuz she's still just as crazy. She's not paying attention to us. So Frish can do this, but let's not get distracted by those big shiny campaign finance numbers because they may not always mean what we'd like.
