From a Republican Perspective: How Lauren Boebert Became a Representative

From a Republican angle, the journey of someone like Rep. Lauren Boebert to become a Representative can be traced back to a fundamental flaw in the electoral process that can happen to any party. As with Kamala Harris becoming the Vice President, the essence of why Boebert was elected lies in the authenticity of her message, rather than the detailed qualifications behind her.

The Fire in Her

When people go to the polls and vote, they often see a connection that resonates with them. With Rep. Boebert, many saw a fire in her that met their criteria. Whether it was her strong stance on various issues, her rhetoric, or her appeal to the base, Boebert met every requirement of the office. Despite personal and professional misjudgments, such as the movie theater incident, her job approval remains high.

The Political Landscape: Qualified vs Unqualified

Within the current political landscape, the presence of unqualified contenders has become a widespread issue, transcending party lines. Democrats, Republicans, Independents – it seems there’s a common denominator in non-qualified candidates. In the case of Rep. Boebert, her exaggerated resume might have been a selling point, but it pales in comparison to the level of incompetence and stupidity that exists among some of the current Democratic representatives.

From Rep. AOC Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Ilhan Omar, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and even the current Vice President, there are multiple examples of elected officials whose actions and words fall short of the expectations of voters. In contrast, Boebert might have appeared 'all looks and not much show,' but her growing presence in the Republican party is a testament to the electorate's decision.

Chewbacca Moments and Political Hypocrisy

Boebert’s political career took an interesting turn when it was revealed that her 17-year-old son had impregnated a girlfriend who was around 15 years old. Herein lies another layer of hypocrisy: the very person who would lecture about the evils of LGBTQ relationships, premarital sex, and sex education, was herself part of a situation that resulted in two minors becoming pregnant. This raises questions about Boebert's ability to guide and advise young people, especially when it comes to crucial life decisions.

Recalling situations like Bristol Palin, whose life changed significantly after getting pregnant at 17, helps us understand the potential consequences of such scenarios. For Boebert, these events serve as a stark reminder of the impact of her words and actions on her constituents, especially on young people.

Given the Republican party's endorsement of a candidate like Lauren Boebert, it comes as no surprise that many Republicans have left the party. The electorate's dissatisfaction with the party's choices reflects a broader shift in party allegiance, driven by a desire for more responsible and informed leadership.

While Boebert's path to becoming a Representative might seem concerning from an idealistic standpoint, the electoral process, as it stands today, has flaws that allow such candidates to gain prominence. The political landscape continues to be a breeding ground for both justified and questionable figures, highlighting the need for a more rigorous vetting process and a deeper introspection into the qualifications of elected officials.
