In old West parlance, that’s a cowardly move called cut and run. Freedom or whatever, right?JM Jesse, Glenwood SpringsRep. Lauren Boebert, having been chased out of Congressional District 3 by Adam Frisch, is desperate to keep her job in “the swamp.” To do this she has decided to run for the reddist Colorado congressional district, the 4th, when Ken Buck’s retirement creates an open seat.The question is whether the Republican voters of District 4 will be interested in being represented in Washington by a self-promoting, grandstanding, crotch-grabbing person who does not believe that the rules apply to them.
