  1. Cory G and senate R’s going all in with Trump thru November. SFL BENNET will obviously go with Senate Decorum and one of the oldest of the Old Boys Clubs. Does anyone think Cory asked permission to run the committee as Bennet asked McConnell prior to his disastrous tenure running the DSCC (one of the reasons I say MB is a coward)?

    1. Zappy.  Grow up.  You're almost as incoherent as nutlid and I don't know why you, ever the fearless keyboard warrior should call anybody a coward.

  2. How many unaffiliated voters might vote in Colorado’s 2018 party primaries?

    A new poll conducted for the Secretary of State’s Office by the Republican-leaning Colorado-based Magellan Strategies firm, gives us an early snapshot, albeit with a caveat. 

    According to the survey of about 500 unaffiliated voters who have participated in recent general elections and are likely to vote in the 2018 general election, 39 percent said they intend to vote in the primaries this year. Of those, 27 percent said they plan to vote in the Democratic primary, and 12 percent plan to vote in the GOP primary. Among the unaffiliated voters asked, 28 percent said they were undecided about whether they will cast a ballot in the primaries and 33 percent said they do not plan to get involved; 45 percent said they knew they would have the option, meaning more than half surveyed did not.

    1. If this pans out, then the unaffiliated will have a more moderating (sorry Zappy) effect on the Dems than on the GOP, assuming that unaffiliated are unaffiliated because they cannot tolerate the ideological purity demanded in both parties.

      1. Why would we assume that unaffiliated voters will moderate elections? I think there’s plenty of evidence that’s not always true. It seems just as likely to me, an unaffiliated leftist who left the Democratic Party because of its corporatist conservatism, that folks who are unaffiliated are unable to find a party that “looks like them” exactly because of what passes for “moderate” partisan sentiment.

    1. Shocking — and I'm pretty sure Mueller's team is leveraging these revelations into the investigation tying Trump's minions and supporters (like Robert Mercer) to the conspiracy to undermine democracy.

      Maybe one day Cheetolini will get a matching orange jumpsuit as well.

  3. Safety.

    In a related story . . . 

    Ben Carson, the secretary of housing and urban development, told a House committee on Tuesday he failed to adhere to a $5,000 federal spending cap for the purchase of a $31,000 lavish mahogany dining room set for his office out of concern for safety — not for decorative purposes.

    . . . Colorado Senate Republicans are planning to soon introduce a bill that would allow well-qualified teachers to arm themselves in their classrooms with $31,000 dining room sets.

    1. Do you suppose it was the sideboard or the breakfront that made him feel safe?

      10 chairs with blue velvet upholstery COULD make everyone feel calm, I suppose.

    1. He dropped out be because he only had $224,000 left in campaign cash. Isn't that three times what Moddy's Cynthia Coffman before she went out and hired the two Rogers?
