Morning.
Promises, promises!
An angry Republican bigot just promised me that they are leaving Colorado!
How do I know? I just received an anonymous, hate-filled letter through the USPS in response to a letter to the editor I wrote that was recently published by the Denver Post.
The anonymous letter writer is really pissed that we have a gay Governor with kids and a partner in a long-term, committed relationship. At least he didn't seem to care that Jared Polis is Jewish (although probably just an oversight on their part).
The letter writer goes on to complain that Polis' policies will result in a massive influx of minority kids from California that will grow up to be "Demos". Since the letter writer was convinced this is going to be funded at the expense of Republicans, they promised they were going to bug out of Colorado.
Just thought I'd pass this along to brighten everyone's day knowing that Colorado is a little bit brighter and kinder with every bigot that chooses to take their hate somewhere else
harrydoby: have you contacted the USPS postal inspectors?
Thanks for the thought, but there were no threats, either to the Governor, his family or me in the letter. They just needed to release some of their pent-up bile, and raise my hopes they weren't just foolin' about leaving Colorado
One-time Republican Jennifer Rubin continues to advise Republicans:
Who can step up for Colorado Republicans and primary Cory Gardner?
The only possibility that comes to mind would be John Suthers. Otherwise, as far as I know, the well is completely poisoned with Trump-brand Kool-Aid.
Yeah, Suthers is probably the best that the Colorado GOP has to offer. But I don't think he would do it. What about that state rep who took on Ray Scott last year?
Dan Thurlow. Fairly sane, but not a high enough profile.
Will be very interesting to see what the Colorado GOP does between now and the 2020 races. There's a good chance they'll just continue to double down on Trumpism – unless there's a major crash at the Trump level of Trumpism (i.e. Mueller time).
In silly, but fun: Local fan selling his beloved Pizza Planet Truck.
Bigger than Colorado and an interesting read from Margaret Carlson
"The guns-blazing takedown from the usually pliant and mostly silent First Lady is the most telling evidence yet that Trump has retreated inside himself and lost control of the forces of chaos and dysfunction he's unleashed. He’s not running the White House. It’s running him, no matter how many people he discards like used Kleenex."

Trump knows not to mess with Melania. As her one and only supporter, John Bolton was just able to save his demon disciple by getting her an unspecified "new role" elsewhere far, far away from the East and West Wings.
First poll on Trump after the mid-terms — looks like a landslide in 2020, with Trump buried underneath

You put it up! It's your turn.
