She thinks he's too young to be president.
A bit snarky, but it's over his insurrection:
“He tried to overturn an election,” she said. “The very first time I ever ran, I didn’t win. I didn’t go out and try to change the election. I said, ‘Whoops, work harder next time, lady.’”
I'd respect her for that except she's still a Republican voter.
It's possible to utterly disagree with somebody on policy, and still recognize that they've passed the 'not a traitor' bar. She manages that.
Yes. She manages to recognize that something that is true is true. Congratulations to her for being able to recognize reality on this specific topic but probably not any others since she's still a Republican.
I'd rather reinforce them when they do the right thing; it helps to shift the range of what's allowed on the right. Republicans are really good at love-bombing people who adopt one of their policy positions. We ought to think about the same.
No, sorry. I do not praise Nazis for acknowledging that another Nazi was lying about an election that he obviously lost.
What do you think her opinion is on LGBT+ people if she votes Republican? Or on immigrants?
Did she vote for Cory Gardner in 2014? I bet she did.

I bet she also voted for Wayne Allard.
I don't doubt that she's terrible on a host of other issues; as I said, I likely disagree with her on almost every policy.
But praise when people start to move out of that mindset is part of how you detach people from it.
And again it’s a former representative. Where are the current Republicans fighting this?
You still got it.
As Chico Marx said, "and you can keep it."
But thank you. :)

- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
