Accuses the moderator of not being impartial.

The moderator, responds "This isn't about me. It's about you, Ms. Boebert." (applause)

How many times did she repeat "Nancy Pelosis con game"

Good thing we weren't playing a drinking game.

No BS about anything I posted, maybe you should have watched it

This is from my local paper, The Denver Post.

Repeatedly Frisch replied, “I’m Adam Frisch, not Nancy Pelosi.” He added that he would not support Pelosi for another term as Speaker if he’s elected. https://www.denverpost.com/2022/09/10/lauren-boebert-adam-frisch-midterm-debate-election/

It happens.
It caught me off guard when he said that. I had just tuned in to hear that 30 seconds later. I came here to immediately post about it & was in shock at the time.

I hope he wins but being here in Colorado and having been here for decades, he has a very tough up hill battle.
The "western slope" is "cray cray land" and very different than here in the "front range". It's very rural & very anti-federal government unless it has something to do with the environment because everyone here outside of Boebert is concerned about our natural resources in Colorado.

If that position helps Fritsch win the seat, I don't care about his position regarding the Speaker. If he beats Boebert, it gets her out and gives us another Democratic voice in Congress. Should he win and get to vote for the next Speaker and he opposes Rep. Pelosi, he'll be on the losing side of that vote but he'll be in Congress and Boebert won't.

My two cents.

his hitting her worthlessness to her constituents and wanting him to do more -- when he reported that. She's giving her Repub supporters what they need to reassure them, though.

Those of you that are watching it and reporting back - you are FAR STRONGER than me! I'm afraid my TV would be in danger - or the neighbors would call the cops because it sounds like a vicious argument taking place in the neighborhood (ME - screaming at the TV!).

subjecting myself to her. I usually wait for the summaries next morning. Oh, well. She didn't disappoint in producing her usual vicious, lying attack dog performance, except maybe in not actually catching her hair on faire. She slipped once, I think, when the moderator tried to stop an attack diatribe and she refused very aggressively, but a lot of MAGA no doubt like that in her.

I'm afraid she did a good job of attacking her opponent with a volley of questions on his past record that he didn't answer well (he was "guilty" of voting responsibly on climate issues, etc, that MAGAs obediently hate and as a kid once registering as a Democrat!).

A month ago Frisch had come up to 7 points behind. No big win for him tonight I'm guessing, but not her (?). Now it'll be interesting to see how their constituents react to this, and to Republican crimes in general. Hope, hope.

Frisch came across as even-tempered and unflappable. Boebert got big mad more than once and her attempts to sling crap at Frisch didn't seem to stick.
