    3 out of 8 of their house members are republicans, famously including Lauren Boebert. Obviously not a ton but margins in both chambers have been razor thin lately so every bit counts.

        They have 3 house seats in Colorado and one of them is one of the dumbest, most toxic fucking people in congress and she (Boebert) won her seat with 50.06% of the vote.

        Literally .07% of people not showing up in her election would have been a victory for her opponent. It was a 546 vote difference. That is razor thin.

        Then for the other two republican house seats, one of them won with 60.9% of the vote and another won with 56% of the vote.

        So your argument doesn’t really hold up here. Two of those seats are arguably in jeopardy. Maybe even the third. The Republicans have the house by only 8 seats right now. Every single seat counts for a lot. Even if the democrats didn’t take the house, a smaller margin prevents fucksticks like the freedom caucus from being so obstructive of bipartisan legislation.

        And all of this ignores stuff like state, county, and school district level positions.
