1. Bernie endorsed her, but AOC backed DeGette. I think that says something to all the MSM

that want to simplify this into one thing or the other...

Ironically, the strident ads against DeGette were all accusations of big money interests (yes, there MAY have been not-too-subtle messages being sent there), yet, I have a feeling there will have been a LOT of big money backing Kiros as well. I honestly heard good messaging on a lot of issues from the newcomer, Kiros, but if I am to be honest, she made me apprehensive as well. Smart and youthful, definitely. Biting? Yes, but she was challenging a long-time incumbent. But, if AOC didn't support her, I have a feeling something my subconscious is picking up on may have been shared... Hopefully, we are both wrong and she will be not only what her Denver District needs, but Congress in general. We shall see. Having volunteered for DeGette several times in the past, I am a bit sad...
