Walker Stapleton stinks, too!
Call it what it is: Staplestink!
Looks like the Senate may let us down. No doubt the Dem leadership is being hammered by lobbyists of their Christian/corporate donors to let T***p have his way, must be why they are so squishy.
This is the time to fight like hell…with everything you have. The Senate gave up last time and stood by while Yurtle stole a seat. This is your moment, Senator Bennet. Show us that of which you are made. Lead.
Stop this train.
Duke, you're just going to set off a Zappy-bomb by mentioning He Who Must Not Be Named.
Trump's trade war is about to get very real, and very damaging — and not just to his base:
One plank of every Democratic campaign should be a call to Stop Trump's Illegal Trade War!
Out of curiosity, I just checked out Stumbleton's web site to see what he has to say about healthcare — one of the biggest issues facing millions of Coloradans — either because they still lack coverage (~350,000) or would lose coverage if Republicans got their way (~588,000), or have coverage, but struggle with either the premiums or the deductibles (most of the rest of us).
The New York Times had this to say:
Stumbleton's answer? Nothing, nada. Problem, what problem? He's got his, so go get your own!
The ISSUES differences between the 2 is interesting.

Exactly. What healthcare problem?
Shhhhh…don’t let Stapler know that Jared’s energy plan is going to bring billions in new investments to rural Colorado. Let’s let that be our little secret, K?
Polis needs to roll out some TV commercials asap to "define" his opponent before his opponent defines him.
And speaking of TV commercials, I've seen a couple of the Supreme Court appointment commercials on CNN. I'm supposed to call my senators to tell them to confirm some "independent and fair" like Neil Gorsuch.
Yeah, right…….
Heinrich Himmler's daughter just died. Guess that takes her off Trump's list.
About time. *spit*
Another Joe Paterno or Denny Hastert?

Isn't Jim Jordan one of the leaders of the House Freedom Club? Kind of reminds me of the way Denny Hastert looked the other way when faced with the accusations of Mark Foley's actions.
Maybe history will be as kind to abuse enabler Congressman Jim Jordan as it has been to former speaker Denny Hastert. Hastert's booking photo, posted by WGNTV.
On the horns of a dilemma or a case of really bad timing? Just as Democrats might be on the verge of taking control of many state legislatures and the House due to the abuse of power by Republicans, the movement towards "Fair" reapportionment is just now picking up steam.
Are we cutting our own throats by allowing Republicans (if they are in the minority in 2020) a larger voice after decades of their gerrymandered majorities in state and federal legislatures letting them cling to power without a clear popular mandate?
It is very tempting, if we get the chance, to spend a few years rubbing their noses in their elephant poop as penance for all the havoc they have, and continue to this day, wreaked.
"On the verge of taking control" seems like a pretty long way off in many states.
I recommend following the sage advice of Mark Twain:
Yes, thus my dilemma
