Boebert does strike me as someone who'll eventually be gone just like MTG because such lightning rod of controversy types don't remain forever in Congress. Steve King is a recent example of one losing. Obviously more vulnerable in the primary but unlike MTG Boebert could lose in a really bad wave, it's a very polarized district with a high D floor and she only won by 6 points in 2018 before she was so controversial. So this isn't the year, but if there was a bet on her still being around at the end of the decade I'd bet against it.

FYI it was Scott Tipton in 2018 and the new district picked up some rural red Hispano county in the SE while losing a few ski counties so it moved a touch rightwards. Still I do agree she is definitely in danger in the future and I would bet on her losing in a D wave.
Typo, I meant in 2020. Although you are correct even with Tipton who was a pretty generic and inoffensive incumbent it was kind of close-ish in 2018. Of course if any Democrat beats her that seat will be just a one-term rental.
Tipton wasn't really even a RINO, just a generic Republican. The reason he lost was because he didn't campaign and Boebert campaigned really hard in that race.

Lauren Boebert will never lose in the next 10 years. Colorado gaining a District after the 2020 Census was actually beneficial to her as her District moved more rightward to create space for the new 8th District in Colorado.

The second part was bang-on correct. The first is not at all solid...Lauren Boebert may well end up as Marilyn Musgrave 2.0.

I’m not gonna claim any credit because I certainly didn’t predict this, but in hindsight it is odd that people didn’t pay more attention to the fact that the seat (formerly now!) represented by one of the most extreme House Republicans even by that caucus’ sorry standards was pretty purple and had a strong liberal base. This certainly ain’t Northwest Georgia!
