If you wonder why U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner hasn’t tacked to the center before the 2020 election, look no further than Lauren Boebert, the fiery political novice who announced a primary challenge to U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton last week.
Boebert’s campaign perfectly encapsulates the reactionary forces that have paralyzed Republican office holders and threaten to decimate the party.
The big question is whether her campaign, based primarily on her Second Amendment advocacy, will provide the ammunition Democrats need to retake the seat for he first time since John Salazar lost to Tipton in 2010.
