Martyrs always lose.
Stay the Course Senator. They're thanking you now.
Jesse Paul should have interviewed Cardboard Cory to get maximum clarity.
Cardboard Cory has made more public forums than the real Cory Gardner who avoids, deflects and is deaf to his constituents. Excuses ring hollow.
I remember when Cory waved a piece of paper while falsely claiming it is a health insurance cancellation notice for his family and then refused to show it to anyone.
I remember when Cory claimed there is no federal personhood amendment when at the same time he was a cosponsor of the life begins at conception act.
I remember Cory's votes to kill Obamacare, which covers pre-existing conditions. I remember when Cory clearly stated in a congressional campaign that he supports health insurance exclusions for pre-existing conditions. And then recently he wrote a bogus 2 sentence bill that claims to cover those with pre-existing conditions so he can window dress it in his campaign.
It's simple. Cory Gardner is a fucking liar and it turned off a lot of Coloradans. Good riddance.
"Cory Gardner is a fucking liar"
Excellent.
My FiretheLiar yard sign is doing double duty then.
Amen kickshot. Two weeks…
I wish that was true.
Dump is not going away when he loses and moves out of the WH.
He’ll never stfu.
If he’d lost to Clinton we’d still be suffering his diatribes through today and maybe his candidacy if he’d been nominated again. It’s up to the Rs (and Putin and the NY AG) to cancel his relevance.
Steve Bannon said that if Trump loses this year, and if he steps aside in January, he may run again in 2024.
Trump should run again in 2024, 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040.
So much
Stassonwinning!Grover Cleveland he’s not. There’ll be no second act for him. Cleveland’s skeletons were well-known (“Ma! Ma! Where’s my Pa…). Yammie-pie’s are still slithering out of closets.
True. Trump will never STFU.
Getting him out of the White House is a good start though, and a decisive thumping after a failed Presidency by most all historical standards will take him down a notch. He will yell and bitch and tweet all he wants, but I am guessing a lot less people will be listening.
There's been and is speculation that he and his brilliant offspring will launch Trump TV to keep fleecing the faithful. They all deserve each other.
Rebranding OANN — and trying to have it move up to the big leagues to challenge Fox News.
Added competition to split the right seems like a fine idea to me. And both seem likely to continue to focus on the aging demographic rather than try to appeal to the 18-49 year olds.
Since dump brought us the new and innovative bottomless pinocchio for rating a false claim repeated over and over again he deserves a new acronym:
STFF…U
where the ellipsis signifies an infinitely repeating letter (ala the notation used for an infinitely repeated sequence of decimal digits) i.e. the 2nd (and following) F and the first F is the present participle form of the verb expressed by the 2nd (and following) F.
This is an open source acronym, free for all to use.
Please do.
Where DO you get your weed?? ??
😎
synthetic thinking
It would help if you could enlarge your explanation of the relationship between the two Fs…and is the U a constant?
If you are familiar with the STFU acronym then you know what the 2nd F stands for.
The first F is the present participle form of the verb expressed by the 2nd (and following) F.
So I read it as " shut the fucking fuck up." With the option of inserting multiple fucks.
I have a special fondness for the word, "fuck". It is, perhaps, the languages' most flexible word. It can be used as a noun, verb, and adverb in the same sentence…ala "Fuck the Fucking Fuckers"…a very useful condemnation, applicable in multiple settings.
There are those who may think my use of the word fuck is fucking deplorable…so I sez…Fuck the fucking fuckers.
I predict Drumpf sets up a government in exile where he can continue to grift off his acolytes, promising a glorious return that will never happen.
I predict that he's going to prison for a long, long time.
I wouldn’t automatically agree that Trump is going to prison. But, if he loses, it’s a safe bet to state that he WILL face accusations in New York State regarding bank fraud, tax fraud, and insurance fraud.
In order to pay legal expenses, I think he will continue to “grift” off the gullible, as noted by emarquez.
All this assumes that Putin still considers Trump to be useful and doesn’t send his agents to ensure that Trump’s mouth is shut…..permanently.
It could be both, and more fundraising
money launderinggriftiness.Pols, I agree with you. Gardner is not a great candidate and his performance over the past decade proves it. Also, Dick Wadhams is a smart campaign consultant on the Republican side and even though he called Hickenlooper one of the worst candidates in Colorado history, he knows that isn’t true and he’s well aware of Gardner’s shortcomings. He just can’t say it and keep his cred within the party.
A competent candidate must do three things to win an election and Gardner has failed at all three of them. The first item in a campaign is to introduce yourself to the voter which is especially true in U.S. Senate races in Colorado. Between 2014 and 2020 there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of new voters in Colorado who have no idea who Gardner is and his ducking the media and the public for six years didn’t help his cause. Because he didn’t do this, he was vulnerable to attacks.
Second, a candidate needs to draw a contrast between himself/herself and the opposing candidate. Gardner and the independent groups supporting him put all their eggs in one basket – the ethics attack on Gov. Hickenlooper – and it didn’t work for the simple reason our former governor was in office from 2003 through January of 2019, first as mayor of Denver and then governor. The public had a deep knowledge of who Gov. Hickenlooper is and his character, plus the ethics allegations were no big deal. Apparently, he didn’t pay for one flight to the east coast to attend the christening of the USS Colorado submarine and then paid, but not enough, for a trip to Italy.
Third, any candidate, whether he/she is an incumbent or a challenger must communicate to the public why he/she should be elected or reelected to the office he/she is seeking. On this count Gardner has completely failed. He has not said a word – not one – about what his plans are for the next six years or what he wants to accomplish on our behalf.
Sticking like Gorilla glue to Trump certainly hasn’t helped Gardner but his campaign was very poorly conceived. Both he and his campaign team have committed one of the worst cases of political dereliction of duty in the history of major statewide races in Colorado.
Gov. Hickenlooper, regardless of any imperfections, has developed and run a good campaign that has met the three requirements mentioned above to win on November 3rd.
"Between 2014 and 2020 there are tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of new voters in Colorado who have no idea who Gardner is and his ducking the media and the public for six years didn’t help his cause"
In fairness to the sleaze bag, he made memorable appearance at that town hall which turned into a shit show in Durango a couple of years ago.
He would never try anything like that again.
He was shamed into attending the townhall in Durango and there was a long line of people waiting to meet with Gov. Hickenlooper and Gardner. If I remember correctly, Sen. Bennet was there too. The attendees were there, in part, to show their anger at Gardner for failing to stay in touch with them. As President Truman said: If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
What nobody, Republican or Democrat, talks about are his accomplishments. When moving the 20 people from BLM to Grand Junction and voting to acquit Trump are your highlights then it is small wonder that he went the slinging mud route except he was bewailing Hickenlooper's ethics while turning a blind eye to Trump's. Wrong issue to focus on with Trump in the White House.
re: " Both he and his campaign team have committed one of the worst cases of political dereliction of duty in the history of major statewide races in Colorado. "
The competition is very VERY stiff for that award. But having a final statewide election defeat more comprehensive than Both Ways Bob will push him up in the rankings.
True. But one ought to account for incumbency. Beauprez was not an incumbent running for reelection, whereas Gardner is.
Quite honestly, who cares whether it's Trump's fault or Gardner's own? All that matters is that his defeat is crushing enough that we never hear from the likes of him in Colorado politics, ever again. One used car(dboard) salesman was enough, thank you.
His latest TV ad touts his newspaper endorsements. There are several portrayed in the ad. However, if you check the small print, they all seem to be from one paper…the Colorado Springs Gazette.
Repubs love to martyr their losers…then give them a job at Tims' Home for Unloved Republican Politicians. Maybe with his winning smile, he will fit in at the front desk of Fosters' Maverick Hotel.
