President Trump: Is anyone interested in running against
Weak Minded Lauren Boebert in Colorado's
Fourth Congressional District? You remember Lauren moved to the District when it became obvious that she couldn't win in her original Congressional District (The Third!) - A Carpetbagger, indeed!
Boebert is campaigning for the Worst
"Republican" Congressman in the History of our Country, Thomas Massie, of the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, and anybody who can be that dumb deserves a good Primary fight! Even though I long ago endorsed Boebert, if the right person came along, it would be my Honor to withdraw that Endorsement, and endorse a good and proper alternative. Just let me know, or announce your Candidacy, and I will be there for you! President DONALD J. TRUMP
