Democrats are throwing good money after bad by investing $750,000 in Trisha Calvarese, the sacrificial lamb their party nominated to take on U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert in the solid conservative 4th Congressional District.
We only have Calvarese’s word for the massive influx of money, as the reporting period hasn’t yet ended.
But it’s likely the reported “32,000 contributions from 24,000 unique donors for an average donation of $23” was funneled through a PAC like ActBlue.
In other words, it came from grassroot Dems outside of Colorado who know nothing about the race but are easily triggered (BOEBERT!) into parting with their money.
In the special election to replace sudden retiree Ken Buck, the winner and now Republican U.S. Rep. Greg Lopez whipped Calvarese by 24 percentage points.
This serves as yet another good example of why Democrats can’t be trusted with money.
