Adding to my Colorado House update - Boebert a lock to win. I know that’s news we all wanted to hear. ---

We knew that was going to happen as soon as she won her primary. Her new district is so red she had no chance to lose. I’m bummed that Frisch is probably going to lose out to Hurd in the 3rd district, where I live. ---

While the rest of you are writing Harris’ post-mortem, Trump’s lead in GA has been cut in half and there are still significant outstanding votes in the Atlanta area, and Philly has less than half of its votes in. ---

Either he will become somehow infirm, or worse; or Vance will move to invoke the 25th Amendment after he argle-bargles hamberders and covfefe and Hannibal Lecter one too many times at a rally. And you know he won’t stop holding those. ---

Absolutely. It used to be you “weren’t supposed to see color.” Now the prevailing left/Dem position is to see color EVERYWHERE and in EVERYTHING. Dems fully invested in identity politics just can’t see past their silo that a majority of folks are just saying “enough is enough.” ---
