I never understood what's the point of even having political districts if you aren't required to live in it.

Maybe now he's done?

All right, I've piled on this guy enough. Now let's turn to sympathy.

Blake Masters disparages his House opponent for not having kids​

Then [in his own campaign video] Masters transitions to direct, personal attacks on his best-known opponent, Abe Hamadeh.

"I’ve got a wonderful wife. I’ve got four beautiful boys. That’s called skin in the game. Okay? I’m trying to protect these boys and your kids and grandkids, too, from illegal immigration. So what we don’t need is someone with no wife and kids, right? No skin in the game.”

Then back to the personal: “We don’t need someone who owes his entire existence in this country to illegal immigration. We need someone hardcore on illegal immigration. And that’s me.”

The reference to Hamadeh’s “existence” is to the immigration status of Hamadeh’s father, who reportedly overstayed a visa after arriving in the United States from Syria before Hamadeh was born. The candidate’s father later faced a deportation order, but it was revoked after Hamadeh’s father appealed, citing, among other things, his U.S.-born children.

[The personal attacks are just gross, and the supposition that childless people are somehow less fit to serve as elected officials is just bizarre.]

Republican voters are particularly concerned about America’s demographic future, and the contrast Masters draws here is unsubtle in its appeal to that fear.

Given her peccadilloes and what-not, her district is not solidly Republican enough.

Rep. Lauren Boebert switches Colo. districts, avoiding likely tough rematch​

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is switching congressional districts ahead of the 2024 election, a surprise move that means she will avoid a likely rematch against the Democrat she narrowly beat last year.

Rep. Lauren Boebert wins GOP primary for Colorado’s 4th District​

As of 8:45 p.m. she had 43 percent of the vote, while none of the other five candidates had more than 15 percent.

The district leans heavily Republican, so the winner of the primary has a strong chance of moving on to the U.S. House of Representatives.

“2024 is when we take Colorado back. It’s when we take our nation back and we set a path on a new trajectory for conservative values, for Christian morals, that we would be a righteous nation recognized throughout the world once again,” she told supporters in her first victory speech of the night.

Besides moving for a political advantage, Boebert also says she wanted to distance herself from the end of her marriage to Jayson Boebert.

This is disappointing.
